A black man has been shot by police officials in the St. Louis area, according to reports from numerous Twitter users. The victim was identified in tweets as 18-year-old teenager Antonio Martin.


The teenager was reportedly killed at the Mobil gas station in the suburb Berkeley, St. Louis.


Social media users posted photos and videos of the victim’s emotional mother bursting into tears the moment she learns her son is dead.

“They started shooting,” Toni Martin, the teen’s mother told reporters.



She added that her son was with his girlfriend at the time of the incident. The girlfriend remains at the scene, but won’t speak to reporters.

"That’s my baby,” Toni Martin was crying over and over again.



Martin attended Jennings Senior High School in St. Louis, Missouri, according to Twitter users. Antonio’s mother later told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that her son was expelled from school, but was trying to gain employment via Jobs Corps, a US program offering free-of-charge education and vocational training to young people.


The body, covered in yellow paper, was seen in numerous photos from Twitter user accounts.

The medical examiner has reportedly arrived at the scene of the accident. Police authorities have not yet commented on the alleged incident.

Twitter is hot right now

When an officer orders you to stop, you comply with whatever they say. Doesn't matter if they're right or not, cops are armed and will shoot to kill if they believe that you are a threat to them. The law will always be on the cop's side so if you want to live to see another day, you're going to have to take the L and obey their commands.

With that said, the police in America are overreaching their limits, and parts of the States (especially the Midwest) are starting to resemble apartheid South Africa.

At the moment it ain't save to be a black man in America. Tbh I've never been a fan of cops they are gangsters with badges. They kill people over the stupidest shit yet they aren't held accountable.

Btw the kid was alive for 30 minutes after he got shot no ambulance or anything came.

Obviously blacks and other people of colour have it a lot worse than whites, but if you follow the law and don't attract the attention of the police then you should be fine. A lot of cops are just bullies with insecurity issues, but you can't paint all the police under the same brush.

Akhi obviously I'm not blaming all of them just the bad ones. Yea I agree if you stay in your lane and don't look, act suspicious you won't attract attention.

[KnowThySelf23]

do the cops ever stop and bully somali men like they do with AA...because if so...im praying for any of you that have to live in that hell hole...be careful <3

one..is a tragedy...two is a coincidence but honestly...i lost count of all the black men that died UNARMED at the hands of cops...and these boys are all so young smh. may they rest in peace. what is with all of these trigger happy cops???

[garoweboy]

They brush all black male the same. If one does something wrong they'll shoot or kill the first black man they run into.

ugh wow smh....how do you have a black president and still get killed left and right. he hasn't done much for the black community (i could be wrong).

[SooMaal11]

There's not much the president can do for blacks but from his interview with BET he is aware of the plight of blacks/Latinos in America. He has to leave it to the Justice department and local law enforcement otherwise he would be infringing on their job duties.

Yea bro I've seen the video they called the cops on him for just having his hands in his pockets. White people forever running to the popo when they see a black man. Have you seen the video where a black man stopped buying his little boys hoodies? He did that cause he don't want his kids to be targeted. Shit is ridiculous Walahi

Reports are saying this dude pulled a gun.it think madows will riot regardless.

This is getting out of hand.

I remember doing the mistake of my lifetime once on the highway between Michigan and Ohio. I saw the flashing lights of a cop car in my rear mirror. I have been driving the whole night from Toronto and I was tired; I was craving for a cig too. So, I stopped the car and got out. The passengers in the car started shouting that I should put my hands on the steering wheel. I just wanted some fresh air. I lit a cig and the cop pulls a gun on me. I put up my hands and shouted that I am not an American. He asks; where are you from? I reply Europe and I could sense that he understood I was telling the truth. He approached me and asked her me for my driver's license; I provided it.. and he told me that I would have died minutes ago because in the USA if you are stopped you should shut the engine and put your hands on the steering wheel.
