Police said Pierre Loury was shot as he fled on foot from a car that officers had pulled over because it matched the description of a vehicle used in an earlier shooting.

An autopsy showed the teen suffered a gunshot wound to the chest.

Citing a preliminary investigation, First Deputy Superintendent John Escalante said the lone officer who chased the teen opened fire after the teen turned and pointed a gun at him. A semi-automatic weapon was recovered at the scene, Escalante said.

It marked the fifth police-involved shooting so far this year and the third fatal one.

A woman who said she witnessed the shooting told the Tribune the teen was shot as he was scaling a fence.

"They shot him in the air," she said. "His pants leg got caught on the fence and he hit the ground. If he hadn't gotten shot, he would have cleared the fence."

The woman spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared backlash from police. She said she had denied to police that night that she had seen anything.

Escalante said Loury had "prior contact" with police and that police considered him a documented gang member.

She said she saw a young boy whom she recognized from the neighborhood trying to jump over a fence. She said she did not see a gun in his hand, but it was dark.

Loury's mother, Tambrasha Hudson, her son's first name tattooed in cursive on her neck, cried loudly on the front porch, tears streaming down her face, as relatives tried to console her.

"Everything they said on the news is not the truth," Hudson said, her voice choked with emotion. "It is not the truth. It's not the truth.

His family said Loury was the oldest of five children, an aspiring rapper who attended Community Christian Alternative Academy in the West Side's Lawndale neighborhood.

On Loury's Facebook page, friends called him by his nickname, "Polo." Photos of what appeared to be drugs and guns were mixed with occasional inspirational posts about bettering himself.

He also often referred to the Reese Money Gang or RMG, letters tattooed on his neck.

Tuesday night, more than 100 people gathered at the scene where Loury was killed for a vigil sponsored by groups including Black Lives Matter Chicago and the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. Two people were arrested at the protest, and charges were pending.

He was an aspiring rapper.

it does concern me that police are using lethal force to stop people escaping from them. It would seem to me that you do what you can non lethaly and if they get away then you have to take a little time and track the person down.

Now exceptions in my opinion are: Being under arrest - not clear if the guy was under arrest. This really only requires a statement to that affect and the laying on of one or more hands, even if just for a split second. Then the arrest has been made.

Anyone presenting a lethal weapon at an officer in a manner that clearly intends to hurt the officer, like the woman recently with the axe.

If either of those things happened then it's a no brainer but otherwise I think the police need to call for more officers and do a sweep. I know I'm armchairing it but I'm concerned the number of people who seem to get killed for running. If they shot and run sure, but it's not clear most of the time.

Obviously you wouldn't normally run if you've done nothing.
