The Los Angeles police have identified the 18-year-old shot by a white cop following a car chase as Carnell Snell Jr.
In another development, calls have been made by activists prompting Los Angeles police to publicly name the officers involved in the deadly shooting of Snell Jr. near his home and to conduct a quick and transparent investigation.
“We don’t want to see a cover-up. We don’t want to see a whitewash,” Earl Ofari Hutchinson of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable said after meeting with the family of Carnell Snell Jr. “We have a family that’s grieving. We have a community that’s grieving.”
The shooting occurred Saturday afternoon. Los Angeles police say they tried to pull over a car with paper license plates at about 1 p.m. After a short chase the driver and a passenger got out and fled. The passenger ran in back of a house, where he was shot. The driver escaped.
