Latest Details In Teenage Shooting Death

Another day has passed and there are still more questions than answers in the death of a fifteen year old who was shot by a police officer.

There are two drastically different versions of this story. The police department says they found a gun near the teen's body and that he was shot in the chest area. But witnesses tell us the officer shot him in the back, and while his mom admits he wasn't an angel, she also believes he didn't deserve to die while running away.

The BBQ's on the grill but for Gloria Duncan and her family this holiday weekend is anything but fun.

"I just want to know what happened to my son, I want to know what happened I want the truth," Duncan says.

We first met Duncan Wednesday night outside of Erlanger's emergency room after her fifteen year old son, Alonzo O'Kelley, had been shot and killed. Police tell us Chattanooga Housing Authority Officer Erik Reeves heard shots fired on 4th Avenue and saw O'Kelley with a gun.

"He gave multiple commands for the guy to drop the gun, he didn't. Lt, Reeves had to fire and he fired to take care of the threat," Housing Authority Chief Felix Vess said on Thursday at a press conference.

But multiple witnesses have told us that O'Kelley dropped his gun, took off running and that's when Reeves shot him multiple times in the back.

Almost three hours after O'Kelley's death we were there when police officers led Duncan into the emergency room to see his body.

"I see a gunshot right here under his left armpit and you could see the bullet hole right there and his whole chest was bandaged up," Duncan says.

For the first time we're also learning more about O'Kelley's past. Duncan says he got jumped in ninth grade and ended up getting kicked out of Howard High School. He was also on probation for assault.

"If he had a gun you know why I know that that's true that he threw that gun and ran? Because I know my baby, and the first thing going through his head is that I'm on probation and I don't want to go to jail," Duncan says.

But instead of jail, O'Kelley is now resting in a funeral home while his mother continues to ask why.

"Even if it had been somebody out in the streets shot and killed my son I wouldn't feel as bad as I do now, he was a trained officer," Duncan says.

We're waiting for the medical examiner to turn in the autopsy results and when we get those we should be able to tell exactly where O'Kelley was shot.

O'Kelley's viewing will be held next Thursday from 7-8 PM and his funeral is Friday from 1-2 PM. Both will be at the Franklin Strickland Funeral Home.
