The Latest: Autopsy finds man died from gunshot to back
CHICAGO (AP) - The Latest on two fatal police shootings in Chicago (all times local):
4:55 p.m.
An autopsy has determined a 19-year-old man fatally shot by a Chicago police officer died from a gunshot wound to the back.
The Cook County medical examiner's office included that finding, for which it provided no details, in its daily case ledger Friday.
Police didn't immediately identify the man shot during a foot chase Wednesday night. Relatives have identified him as Kajuan Raye of Dolton.
Raye's cousin is disputing police statements he was armed. Police say a sergeant opened fire when the man pointed a gun at him, but a weapon hasn't been found at the shooting scene.
Raye's cousin, Ahkeya White, says she's certain he didn't have a gun. Raye's mother says she doesn't know if her son was armed. But 38-year-old Karonisha Ramsey says if he did have a gun it "should have been right there" when he was shot.
