12-year-old DeAuntae Farrow, a sixth grader at Maddux Elementary School in West Memphis, Ark., was shot and killed after a police officer allegedly shot him stating that he had been holding a toy gun that resembled a real weapon.Family members are stating that the child did not have a gun and that he had been spending the night with his 14-year-old cousin in an apartment complex south of I-40 and I-50. Assistant Police Chief Mike Allen told the AP that one of the two Arkansas police officers fired at the 12-year-old only after he made an "evasive action".
Adrian Williams, Farrow's cousin who resides in the apartments where Farrow was killed told AP "he had nothing, I saw him with chips and pop in his hand". Continued
