An autistic non-verbal teenage boy who was shot repeatedly by the Idaho police from the other side of a fence for holding a knife has now passed away.
According to his family, he was shot, and that caused him to sustain some very dangerous injuries.
He was reportedly put on life support, and when that was removed, he just couldn’t make it out alive.
Victor Perez was only 17 and was suffering from cerebral palsy. Since the shooting, his loved ones revealed how he was in a state of coma, and tests revealed on Friday how he had zero brain activity.
His aunt detailed more about how he had undergone several surgical procedures and doctors had removed a total of nine bullets and amputated his leg, in an attempt to save his life.
Police in the southwest Idaho region explained how they responded to a 911 call about a drunk man with a knife, chasing someone in the yard. It turned out to be Perez, but he wasn’t drunk. He had a staggered gait due to his disabilities. For now, the officers involved in the shooting were put on administrative leave, but their identities are yet to be revealed.
