Dorian Johnson, a friend of Michael Brown — an 18-year-old who was killed by a Missouri police officer 11 years ago — was shot and killed over the weekend near the same location.

'There had been earlier rumors that this was an officer-involved shooting however that information is incorrect.'

Johnson claimed he was with Brown when Officer Darren Wilson stopped them in 2014. Wilson contended that he shot Brown in self-defense, but Johnson spread claims that Brown was surrendering, sparking the protest chant, " Hands up, don't shoot ," and nationwide Black Lives Matter demonstrations.

"He put his hands in the air," Johnson previously stated about Brown. "He started to get down, but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn. And he fired several more shots. And my friend died."
