The teenager was shot dead in the Seattle Capitol organized protest area, was being chased after stealing a Jeep at knifepoint, and sobbed, “I don’t want to die” after he was shot, according to a report.
Antonio Mays Jr., 16, said he and a 14-year-old boy were being chased and shot early Monday after they “hit someone and took” their vehicle at knifepoint, their so-called “sister of the street, “Ciara Walker told DailyMail.com.
Walker told the couple to go to the police station in the CHOP area, telling them: “They will be safe there, nothing will happen to them.”
“The next thing I heard was the pop and pop pop, and one of them yelled, ‘Oh, I’m beaten, I don’t want to die,'” Walker told Mail. “Then the phone went dead.”
Mays was killed and his youngest passenger left in critical condition.
Walker insisted that the couple “were not gang members” even though they “dated Blood gang members.”
They told him that one of the cars that chased them, allegedly shooting, had “security” written on the side.
“They drove into the CHOP zone not to ambush the sleeping protesters but for their own safety,” Walker told the outlet.
“And it ended up costing at least one of them his life.”
The deadly shooting, along with a previous one that killed a 19-year-old teenager, was central to the area that finally closed this week.
