Officials identified Friday the person they say was killed during a shootout with police in East New York on Thursday afternoon.
Authorities said Kadeem Torres, 17, opened fire on a group of police officers after they approached him around 4 p.m. near the Cypress Hills Houses.
The three officers were on patrol in the area when they saw Torres run out of the complex.
The Brooklyn resident ran away after he fired at police, according to the NYPD, but one officer followed Torres into an alley, and then fatally shot him once.
Police said they recovered a gun at the scene, seen on the left.
