You don’t know that they haven’t made that claim, just that the media hasnt reported it. Local media tend to be very pro-local police.
Besides, thats not the point. The cop who shot him claims he saw the kid point a gun at him, even though he was on the scene for only seconds before firing. I’ve seen the bodycam footage, and the kid was running, not aiming. That cop wasn’t responding to the kid pointing the gun, he was responding to the other cops hollering that he had a gun, and he just started firing at a running suspect.
Bottom line: the kid stole an insured car, which was recovered. There was no reason to be killing anyone over that.

I got it, you’re outraged and speculating and don’t care about knowing what happened.
You just want to push your narrative and fit the story to that.
You won’t find an ally of the police in me but people who project misinformation just to fit their world view are awful too
