ZION, Ill. — The death of a teen shot twice in the back by a Zion, Ill. police officer reportedly has been ruled a homicide.
17-year-old Justus Howell was shot while running from police in the far north suburb earlier this month.
At the time, police said a handgun was recovered from the scene of the shooting, but witnesses told the newspaper Howell was not armed.
The Sun-Times reports the Lake County coroner found no evidence that Howell was drunk or high on drugs when he was shot — although he did have some alcohol and marijuana in his system.
A task force made up of police, the FBI and Lake County prosecutors is investigating the shooting.
This is murder too, & pretty much the definition of terrorism:
