Antonio Martin, Black Teenager, Fatally Shot By Police 2 Miles From Ferguson: Report
A Missouri teen was fatally shot by police just two miles from Ferguson, Mo., according to witnesses at the scene.
Antonio Martin, 18, was shot at 1 a.m. on Christmas Eve at Mobil gas station in Berkeley, Mo., the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The victim's mother, Toni Martin, spoke to the publication and said her son was shot by police.
The hashtag #AntonioMartin is gaining traction on social media. Those at the scene, along with The Dispatch, report approximately 60 to 100 people have gathered around the gas station where the shooting took place.
Livestreams at the scene show residents verbally clashing with police. A woman identified as Martin's mother could be heard sobbing "That's my baby!" on the feed.

Jesus Christo, 18, told The Huffington Post that he and Martin were stopped by an officer who said they fit the descriptions of recent robbery suspects. Christo declined to speak over the phone, but spoke through direct messages on Twitter.
The officer attempted to search Martin, who refused, Christo said.
"The officer then stepped back and drew his weapon and pointed at Antonio and told us to lay on the ground," Christo said. "I layed [sic] down but Antonio Refused [sic]."
More from Christo:
"The officer then began to step back from us with his gun still aimed at us. He told Antonio to lay down once again and when Antonio didn't lay down the officer opened fire. And when I tried to get up to help my friend he screamed at me to stay down with his weapon still drawn."

The gas station appears to have security cameras trained on the parking lot, the Dispatch reported, so there may be a video of the incident. However, at this time, the situation on the scene remains volatile.
Huffpost reached out to the St. Louis Police Department but they declined to comment.
