FERGUSON, MO (KPLR/KTVI) – The shooting of a teenager by police has sparked outrage in a community outside St. Louis, and the NAACP has called for a federal investigation.

Witnesses said the teen was unarmed when a Ferguson police officer shot and killed him just after noon in an apartment complex.

“A police officer squad car pulled up, and when he pulled up these were his exact words – he said get the ‘F’ on the sidewalk,” said Dorin Jackson, a friend of the victim. “And we told the officer we were a minute away from our destination and we would shortly be out the street. He reached out the window. He didn’t get out the car. He just reached out the window and grabbed my friend around the neck.”

Witnesses said the officer grabbed him around the neck and tried to pull him into the car, then repeatedly shot the youth.

“I witnessed the police chase after the guy full force,” Plaget Crenshaw said. “He was unarmed, he ran for his life and they shot him. And he fell, he put his arms up to let him know he was compliant and unarmed and they shot him twice more and he fell to the ground and died.”
