Officers responding to a report of theft reportedly demanded that Stokes drop a gun and show his hands before shooting him twice, though Stokes did not have a gun on him. There was a gun found later in his friend's car, but Stokes was unarmed when killed by police. His mother said that she never has believed the Police Department's account of her son's death and maintains he was not armed that night. A jury found the officers were justified in shooting Stokes.
