GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — A Black teenager in Mississippi has died days after Gulfport police shot him in the head outside a discount store, and his relatives are questioning officers' actions.
Jaheim McMillan, 15, was shot Thursday. Harrison County Coroner Brian Switzer confirmed to the Sun Herald that the Gulfport High School freshman died Saturday after he was taken off life support at USA University Hospital in Mobile, Alabama. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, Switzer said.
McMillan is survived by his mother, Katrina Mateen. She told WLOX-TV that when she arrived at the store after her son was shot, officers handcuffed her and walked her across the street.
Gulfport police said in a news release that the shooting occurred after they responded to a 911 call about several minors waving guns at other motorists. Officers pulled the minors over in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store.
Gulfport Police Chief Adam Cooper said an officer engaged an armed suspect, since identified as McMillan, resulting in shots being fired. The police department has not released the race of the officer.

Not trying to be racist, but the cops were probably black as well. So no.

You are thinking of a totally different incident at a McDonalds recently.

Not enough facts to tell how big a deal this will be yet, but yeah, they better hope he was actually armed.

We haven’t heard about it because he was armed. Nothing to see here, move along.

Smelling like it could be justified but way more info needed.

Court documents show the first call about the teens came in at 2:28 p.m. when a driver reported a silver Kia Soul with a Georgia license plate driving recklessly on Hwy 605 near I-10. The caller said the teens in the Kia Soul had the windows rolled down and began “flipping them off.” Eventually both vehicles stopped next to each other at the red light at Brentwood Boulevard. That’s when the caller and his passenger said they saw the right rear passenger in the Kia Soul brandish a firearm.
When the light turned green, both vehicles took off and the caller told police he tried to get away from the Kia. As he got closer to Magnolia, he saw a red light and decided to drive through it in fear of stopping next to the armed passenger. But the Kia also ran the red light.
As both vehicles approached Pass Road, and the caller told police he tried to lose the Kia Soul by cutting through a bank parking lot, but the teens stayed right behind him. Once on Pass Road, the right rear passenger put on a camouflage ski mask and held up the gun again.
The encounter ended when, according to the caller, the Kia Soul turned north on Courthouse Road and then west on Commerce Street.
About 15 minutes after that call came in to police, officers located a Kia Soul matching that description in the parking lot of the Family Dollar. According to Gulfport Police, an officer engaged an armed suspect, McMillan, leading to shots being fired.
McMillan was taken to Gulfport Memorial Hospital, and later transferred to USA Children’s & Women’s Hospital in Mobile, Ala.
The other four suspects, all under 17, were taken into custody. Police said several firearms were recovered from the scene.
The court documents go on to say the four suspects all admitted to a detective that the caller’s account of the events earlier that day in traffic were true. The teens admitted to holding up guns, driving recklessly, and that everyone in the Kia Soul encouraged the chase.

and then there's this...

“I said, ‘So why did they say Jaheim had a gun?’” Spivery said. “He was like, ‘Mama, Jaheim did not have a gun,’ and the phone clicked.”
...
Katrina Campbell is the mother of another one of the teens arrested.
“They haven’t given any evidence to say that these kids had weapons,” Campbell said.
Hands up. Don't shoot.

Yeah, I’m aware of the reported story right now. There are also eyewitnesses saying he was unarmed.
There is body cam and security footage out there that will tell us all we need to know.
