On Thursday morning, Vassell's grief-stricken aunt, Nora Ford, went to the corner where her nephew was shot so she could "touch the blood where he died," the New York Daily News reported.



"It's a piece of iron and they kill him for a piece of iron," Ford told the newspaper. "I bet if he was a white kid, they wouldn't fire a shot at him like that."



Jaccbot Hinds, 40, told the Daily News that he witnessed the shooting and said officers did not warn Vassell before opening fire.



"They just hopped out of the car," Hinds told the newspaper. "It's almost like they did a hit. They didn't say please. They didn't say put your hands up, nothing."



Police on Wednesday did not address whether they gave Vassell any warnings. NYPD representatives did not immediately respond to questions sent by email Thursday morning.



The shooting drew an angry crowd Wednesday night to the busy Crown Heights intersection to confront about a dozen additional police officers who had arrived at the scene.



"It's not a crime scene! You murdered him!" a woman can be heard screaming, hoarsely, between expletives. "A young man in his own community, shot down — yet again!"



"Ten times?" another man demanded, referring to the number of rounds reportedly fired. "For what?"

We don't know what happened for sure when the police arrived.

The police would have told him to drop what appears to be a handgun. He probably kept pointing it in a threatening manner and they shot him. He committed suicide by police.

I agree, he wanted to be shot.

I thought it was a gun, but I don't know anything about guns.

The legal principle when confronting an object that has all the appearance of a firearm is to shoot first, verify later.



If someone wants to run around with a facsimile, the risk and consequences are on them.

As it should be.

A weapon. He's dead.

I believe he is, isn't he?
