The body remained on the parking lot just in front of the Mobil gas station at 6800 North Hanley Road at about 1 a.m. Berkeley police cars were on either side.

Crime scene tape ringed the gas station, which appeared to have security cameras that are trained on the parking lot. The scene is southeast of the intersection of Interstates 170 and 270.

Several officers from the St. Louis County and Woodson Terrace departments were also at the scene. No authorities have commented on the shooting so far.

A crowd of about 60 people also gathered at the scene. The crowd included ministers and some of the people who have been active in the protests related to the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, 18, by a Ferguson police officer in August.

Toni Martin said her son was with his girlfriend at the time of the shooting. The girlfriend remained at the scene but declined to talk to a reporter.

Whether it was deserved or not this is just gonna create another crapstorm.

Batten down the hatches folks.

Yep. Wont matter what the reason is, even if it was warranted. The court of public opinion is already reaching a verdict at the scene. If the cop was black, the reaction should be interesting. If the cop was white, look out.

I look forward to the day when race no longer contributes to whether or not a story goes viral and affects the States as a whole.

Is there any hypothetical way that this sort of issue hits Canada? Or is it too ethnically diverse up here for it to really affect Canada the way it affects the USA

Antonio Martin, 18 year old black teen, shot dead by cops in Berkeley, Missouri.....

While he was doing what? Robing? Killing? Raping?..... All of the above?

Serious question... Cause it does matter.

Ohh wait he just pointed a gun at the cops... Do that and your dead... The world is better off without him.

Here's what you do:

You presume because it was a black guy that the cops are guilty and start chanting for more blacks to loot stores and burn the town to ash. That'll teach the evil government. *grabs some liberal white guy popcorn and watches blacks do all the dirty work*
