The death of another black teenager by police gunfire in the heart of Missouri has sparked fresh protests following months of unrest about alleged police racism.
18-year-old Toni Martin was last night shot dead by a police officer in front of a Mobil gas station in the St Louis suburb Berkeley after reportedly threatening him with a gun.
St Louis police spokesman Sgt Brian Schellman said that Martin drew a gun and pointed it at the officer who, "fearing for his life", fired several times.
Police claim Martin's gun has been recovered at the scene.
There was a second man with Martin who fled, according to the statement.
