BALTIMORE -- Baltimore Police released on Tuesday the body-worn video from when an officer shot a 17-year-old boy last week in the Shipley Hill neighborhood.
Police said an armed 17-year-old boy, identified by his family as Mekhi Franklin, was shot near an alleyway on Catherine Street while running from officers in Baltimore's Shipley Hill neighborhood around 1:30 p.m. on May 11.
The video appears to show the 17-year-old boy pulling something out of his waistband and dropping it on the sidewalk after he was shot by Elleby during the foot chase after refusing the officer's commands.
Harrison said police recovered a stolen 9mm Smith & Wesson with an extended magazine with four rounds.
He said the weapon the teenager had was stolen from a vehicle in the Western District two years ago.
Harrison said the officer fired at least four shots, and Franklin was struck once. His condition has been upgraded from critical to stable.
