An officer shot Jhmari Cornelius McCoy when he allegedly pointed a gun toward police. Police responded to a burglary call at about 11:15 p.m. The officers told McCoy to show his hands and get down on the ground, but the teen reportedly walked toward them and pointed a gun. A 22-year veteran of the department then shot McCoy twice. McCoy died during surgery. In 2011, Javaughn K. Garth, 19, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in connection with the McCoy's death.
