In an interview with the St. Louis Patch, a witness who spoke under anonymity, said he working on a building in the neighborhood and wasn’t from Ferguson.

He told the Post-Dispatch that he could not tell whether or not there had been a struggle between Officer Darren Wilson and Brown, but that he saw Wilson chasing Brown and shooting him while Brown had his hands up.

Brown, a Black teenager, was shot and killed Darren Wilson, a white police officer on the Ferguson police force on August 9th.

Allegations of racial profiling and excessive force the FBI has stepped in to assist local police on the investigation.

The Department of Justice has also opened an investigation.

So far, the key witness to the shooting has been Dorian Johnson, a friend of Brown’s who was with him when he was shot.

Johnson has said that Wilson started firing unprovoked, continued shooting while Brown’s hands were up, and that Brown was “shot like an animal.”
