Local News 4 reports:
According to St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson, authorities arrived at a home in the 1240 block of Walton to execute a searchwarrant around 11:30 Wednesday morning.
When police approached the home, two suspects were seen running out of the back armed with guns. Officers ordered the suspects to drop their weapons, at which time one of the suspects, Mansur Ball-Bey,18, stopped and pointed a gun at police, authorities said. The two officers then fired a total of four gunshots towards Mansur Ball-Bey, according to police.
After the officers fired gunshots, Dotson said, Mansur Ball-Bey, continued running until he collapsed.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
But many locals believe the gun was planted. As evidence for this, Dotson actually admitted that the gun recovered from the deceased suspect was not found on his body, but down the street. Members of the community challenge that this could have easily been planted after the fact.
