The girlfriend of Antonio Martin says she hasn’t been able to sleep since a police officer fatally shot her boyfriend, a black male teenager, at a gas station in Berkeley, Missouri, on Tuesday.

Keanna Brown, 19, revisited the site of the killing on Wednesday, where she expressed her grief in an outcry of mourning.

“He didn’t deserve to die,” Brown told The Huffington Post outside the Mobil gas station where Martin was shot. “He was so scared, I’m telling you, he was so scared. He looked at me like ‘Baby, please jump in between and say something to save me.’”

Brown said she arrived to the scene after Martin had been shot. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said Martin pointed a gun at the officer, a six-year veteran of the Berkeley Police Department who was responding to reports of a theft at the gas station when he confronted Martin and another person.

1. The official versions are already conflicting

One official version is it was just a routine patrol stop that went bad. Now it's the officer was responding to a call. In any case this smells bad. The worst thing so far I don't seen anyone talking about how this did not have to a fatal shoot. That Antonio Martin could have been saved if he had medical attention. The officer IMO murdered him by neglecting to get him medical attention.

4. Have to wait for that to dribble out.

I would have expected the officer to check with the complainant on arrival at the scene. That did not appear to be the case on the video.
