Did Minneapolis Cops Cover Up Killing of Unarmed Teen? (You Decide)

MINNEAPOLIS - Whenever a police officer uses deadly force, his actions will be examined
in second by second detail. A Minneapolis policeman who shot and killed a teenager named
Fong Lee is under that microscope right now. The FOX 9 investigators sat down with an expert
to review this highly charged case. Trish Van Pilsum has more.

Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan issued a statement Monday, saying his officers never
planted a gun on the body of Lee, a teenager shot by a Minneapolis officer in 2006.

Fong Lee was shot in 2006 by a Minneapolis police officer, who claimed the 19-year-old pointed
a gun at him. Lee was shot nine times.

The gun was found several feet from Fong Lee's body. It did not contain a single fingerprint or any of Lee's DNA.

"We believe all along that Fong did not have a gun and to this day we still believe it," Lee's sister, Shoua, said.

Family members sued in 2007, with the wrongful death trial is set for May 1. Statement from Chief Dolan

"We take all allegations of police misconduct very seriously. We want our community to be able
to trust that its officers will protect with courage and serve with compassion. Thats why we want
to be absolutely clear: no officer ever planted evidence in this case and we look forward to proving that in court.

While no officer wants to take another life, two internal department investigations, as well as an
independent grand jury, have ruled that the death of Fong Lee was a case of justifiable homicide.

No DNA on the gun innocent!!isn't that what happens in court if they find your suspected murder weapon and your DNA isn't on it?

Wish Cha vang was there...

Cop killer! If Fong does has a gun, believe me, he will gun you down Anderson instead of running away from you. Does it make you proud that you shot Fong 8 times? Oh, I forgot, you got a medal for shooting someone's child 8 times? Wow, you must be proud and slept good. We're not born today to believe your story. Even your own kids don't believe your story. What a scary sick cop you are!

Chai vs cop is a good solution.

i belive in god after the shooting this officer's life is all in trouble there is no reason after fong lee was on the ground and still had the gun in his right hand there no reason that the gun can fly to his left hand after the shooting

Also- 8 shots is a little ridiculous. It is taught in a educational form in school that you only defend yourself to an extent. Not intent to kill. This is 100% 1st degree murder.
