The family of a 15-year-old who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent Friday night in Arcadia, Calif., claims the official narrative is false.
The agent said Darius Smith and two 14-year-old pointed a gun at him and demanded his money after they exited a train Friday night, TheRoot.com reports. In an act of self-defense, he said he shot the teens.
Smith died at a hospital, and the two 14-year-olds were not in life-threatening condition as of today.
The teens face robbery charges.
Smith’s mother, Reshawna Myricks, is disputing the agent’s story, saying the teens would never try to rob someone.
“Them boys didn’t do that,” Myricks told KCAL9. “They aren’t those type of boys to do that.”
“[They’re] going to walk home; they’re going to see their kids tonight,” Myricks said of the border agent and law-enforcement officers claiming that her son committed a crime. “I got to go back and tell my other three that one of them ain’t coming back no more.
“First they said there was no crime committed,” Myricks continued. “Now there is a crime committed. Now it’s a gun; then they said there was a fight. I don’t know what to believe. All I know is my baby [is] gone and I’ll never know his story.”
