#BlackLivesMatter: Early Autopsy Shows St. Louis Teen Killed By Cops Was Shot In The Back

Preliminary Autopsy Shows That St. Louis Teen Died After Police Shot Him In The Back *sigh* Via NYDailyNews Mansur Ball-Bey, the St. Louis teen whose death at the hands of police ignited protests, died from a single bullet to the back, according to a preliminary autopsy that raised suspicions about what happened. The 18-year-old black teen was killed Wednesday after police say he ran through the back door where cops were executing a search warrant and pointed a gun at officers. A search yielded stolen guns and crack cocaine, and a teen with Ball-Bey escaped, they said. Police Chief Sam Dotson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the location of the gunshot wound does not prove or disprove the officers’ narrative. “Just because he was shot in the back doesn’t mean he was running away,” Dotson said. “It could be, and I’m not saying that it doesn’t mean that. I just don’t know yet.” “What I do know is that two officers were involved and fired shots, but I don’t know exactly where they were standing yet and I won’t know until I get their statements.” Here we go again… But Ball-Bey’s cousin told the Daily News the autopsy confirms the family’s suspicions about the police account of the last acts of Ball-Bey, who went by Man Man. “It’s the gut feeling we’ve had all along,” DeAndre Cody said. “We knew Man Man was smarter than that. He just wouldn’t pull a gun on the police.” “Now the findings come out that he was shot in the back. And the story has changed from ‘pointed a gun’ at officers to ‘flourished’ a gun. We want answers.” So do we! R.I.P. Mansur Ball-Bey Images via Twitter
