A coalition of black leaders in Minneapolis spoke out today on the latest developments in the police shooting of a Minneapolis teenager. 15-year-old Lawrence Miles Jr. was seriously wounded by police on August 16th when an officer thought the boy was aiming a gun at his partner. The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun. The Minneapolis Police department originally reported the boy had been shot in the chest, but the Minneapolis Fire Department contradicted that report, saying the boy was shot in the upper back. Today a group of black leaders called for an independent investigator and prosecutor to be appointed to the case, and brought in its own forensic pathologist to examine the boy.
