Family and friends are mourning the death of a 17-year-old who was fatally shot over the weekend after an encounter with police.
Kiara Neal said officers approached her brother, Christopher “Chris” Jones, as he slept in a car late Sunday morning in an O’Fallon neighborhood.
Police said they walked up to the Honda Accord around 11 a.m. and “loudly knocked” on the window, spotting a handgun in the front seat.
Christopher Jones, 17, is shown in a photo provided by Terrae Wilson. Jones died Sunday, Jan. 23, 2022 after O'Fallon, Missouri police shot at a car he was driving. Police say he backed the car up into a police vehicle.
The driver then put the car in reverse and struck a police car. Officers then fired at the Honda, which moved forward until coming to rest blocks away. Paramedics transferred Jones to a hospital, where he later died.
