Khiel Coppin

An 18 year old boy was killed by New York officers this weekend after he approached them with what they thought was a gun. The object the boy had in his hand was actually a hairbrush, but the teen had a history of mental illness. Police were called to the scene after the boy and his mother got into an argument. In the 911 call made by his mother, you can hear the boy shouting that he had a gun.
