Chicago Police

New body-camera footage and other videos have provided fresh details on the frenzied final moments of a chase that ended with a Chicago cop shooting an unarmed 13-year-old Black boy in Chicago with his hands up.

The footage, obtained by the family of the teen and shared with The Daily Beast, show a quick chase and new angles of the shooting. But video from the bodycam of the officer who shot the child—Noah Ball, whose identity was first reported by The Daily Beast—doesn’t begin until after the incident took place. An attorney for Ball has denied the teen’s hands were raised, and suggested he mistook a cell phone for a gun.

“He had his hands up!” a bystander can be heard yelling on the new footage, which was first obtained by CNN.
