Video released of Tampa Police Shooting Javon Neal: Parents say Police Murdered Black Teen

From [HERE] The surveillance video released today shows Javon Neal running up the stairs and making a hard left. Is he carrying a gun or is he holding his pants up with his right hand? Once 16-year-old Neal makes the hard left, he disappears from view. The video then shows Tampa police Officers Shannon Murphy and Gregory Pryor running up the stairs in pursuit of Neal. They stop, then flinch– as if surprised by something -- and fire on Neal.

The Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office released the video after receiving public records requests of the July 22 shooting at the Central Court Apartments Neal's father, Michael Lovett, saw the video for the first time Tuesday night. He said he doesn't see evidence his son was carrying a gun. "You don't see a gun at all," Lovett said. "Show a gun so we have some clarification. Right now they have some weak evidence."

Lovett said he's hired an attorney to help get evidence together. "I'm going to prove that they murdered my son," Lovett said. Earlier this month, the state attorney's office ruled that the use of deadly force by Murphy and Pryor was justified.

Tampa police said Pryor and Murphy were called to the apartment complex to investigate reports of gunshots.

They spotted someone who matched a description given in a 911 call, followed him to the south side of the complex and yelled at him to stop, police said.

Neal ran up an outside staircase and stopped on the third-floor landing. Police said he whirled around and aimed a pump-action shotgun at the officers.

Pryor and Murphy fired and killed Neal.
