A lawyer for the family of Emeshyon Wilkins released the video, along with a report showing how police violated their own policies in the fatal encounter.
St. Louis, MO - A newly released video shows a St. Louis police officer killing a 17-year-old in June 2024—and reacting with shock when he seemingly realizes the teen had a cell phone, not a gun, in his hand.
An attorney working for the family of Emeshyon Wilkins has made public the body cam video of the shooting, as well as an independent analysis of what happened that day in the city’s The Ville neighborhood.
Footage from the body cam of the officer who shot Wilkins shows the teen running from the police as the officer shouts, “Get on the fucking ground now” and twice yells, “Drop the fucking gun.”
Shots ring out and Wilkins falls. Officers approach the teen’s dead body, put his hands behind his back and cuff him. The shooting officer says, “Fuck!” and then, “The gun’s right fucking here.”
It’s unclear what the officer is referring to. Wilkins had in his pockets pieces of a disassembled weapon, but it seems unlikely he could have in any way brandished those pieces at the officer who shot him, according to the report compiled by Gregory Gilbertson, an expert in police use of force.
The officer who shot Wilkins was one of 14 officers comprising an Anti-Crime Task Force working in Baden to recover stolen vehicles. When officers attempted to arrest Wilkins, he led them on a chase into The Ville while driving a stolen silver Mazda CX-5. Wilkins bailed out of the vehicle near the 4200 block of St. Louis Avenue. A brief foot pursuit lasted no more than 20 seconds and ended with Wilkins being shot in the back of the head.
Last May, Wilkins’ parents, Shaina Wilkins and Emanuel Mays, filed suit against the city and the officer who shot and killed their son. They are represented by Al Watkins, who is releasing the body cam footage for the first time today.
“It was a Frigidaire frost-free felony,” Watkins said of the shooting. “At best it demonstrates wholesale mal-governance of the city and police department. At worst … very dangerous ignorance of a most horrid nature. I assure you that this young man would be alive and preparing for high school graduation if he resided in the 63124 ZIP code,” he added, referencing an affluent area that includes Ladue.
Watkins said the shooting officer was never disciplined and remains on desk duty.

LOL the lawyer claims if the dead dummy was in a different ZIP code he would be getting ready for high school graduation - that's the funniest shit ever. He'd just be dead in another ZIP code.

Instead of worrying about what kids are doing on Social Media, they need to teach kids how to behave when approached by Cops. The Cop's aren't psychic. In a split second the Cops don't know if you are carrying a pistol, or you dick in your hands. Follow commands and MAYBE just maybe you will live to do that next drug deal.
