A Mississippi family is seeking answers after a 15-year-old was shot by Gulfport police, dying days later.
Protesters rally outside the Police Department headquarters after the death of teen Jaheim McMillan who was shot by poice in Gulfport, Miss., Oct. 11, 2022.The shooting of a Black teenager by police in Gulfport, Mississippi, has led to outcry from family members and activists who say the teen was unarmed with his hands up when he was confronted by police. The teen died days later after being taken off life support.
During the Oct. 6 incident, officers responded to a 911 call about five teens waving firearms at passing cars and began chasing one of them, according to Gulfport police chief Adam Cooper, who held a press conference on the officer-involved shooting Wednesday. "I did hear gunshots, I ducked. I didn't know where they were coming from," Stout told ABC News in a zoom interview. "There were guys on the ground, then I noticed the boy who passed away at the front door, but before that I did see him with his hands up."
