Police in Aurora, Colorado, have released body camera footage following the death of a teenager who was shot by an officer after an alleged robbery.
Jor’Dell Richardson, who is Black, was shot by an officer who chased him as he ran from a local store where police say he shoplifted vape materials with a group of youths on June 1. He was 14 years old.
Richardson, who was shot in the abdomen, later died at the hospital, police said.
A multi-agency team is investigating the shooting. Reuters could not immediately verify the race of the officers involved.
One of the videos from the body-worn cameras released on Friday showed Richardson running from officers as they shout for him to stop and get on the ground.
