Since Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed by police on August 9, people in Ferguson, Missouri have been protesting his murder and calling for justice for the teen and his family.
Brown, and unarmed black teen and a friend, Dorin Johnson, were walking in the street on Canfield Drive in the Canfield Green Apartments when a Ferguson officer drove up and ordered them to the sidewalk. Johnson said they told him they were a minute away from their destination and then they would be out of the street.
After a verbal confrontation, witness Piaget Crenshaw said the officer got out of his car and fired a shot. Both teens ran, she said, and another shot was fired.
Crenshaw and Johnson say the teen held up his hands to show he did not have a weapon, however the officer fired at him two more times and he collapsed and died in the street.
Darren Wilson has been identified as the police officer who shot and killed Brown.
On Thursday, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon turned over security operation in Ferguson to Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain Ronald S. Johnson.
