As previously reported, Brown, a 2014 graduate of Normandy High School, was fatally shot in a St. Louis-area neighborhood Saturday (Aug. 9) afternoon by a police officer.
Ferguson resident La'Toya Cash says Brown was shot 10 times by Ferguson Police.
According to KMOV, Brown was unarmed and had his hands in the air when he was shot multiple times. Reports say he was shot once by the officer and then an additional nine times as he lie in the street.
The victim was reportedly visiting his grandmother while in the area.
It was also reported that the officer who shot Brown has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. The officer's identity has yet to be revealed to the public.
In the midst of protest from Ferguson residents, the Ferguson-Florissant School District announced that it was pushing back the start of classes this year. School had been scheduled to resume Thursday, according to CNN.
Brown was scheduled to begin classes at Vatterott College on Monday (Aug. 11).
