Teenager was holding a 1.50 meter long garden tool in his hand and approached an officer. At least one shot was then fired.

According to the family, the black teenager was diagnosed with autism. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office released portions of the 911 call and clips of officers' body camera footage. However, it cannot be seen what exactly happened at the moment the shot was fired. A video from another police officer is said to show the same scene from a different perspective. The entire video material is needed, the lawyer continued.
