A 16-year-old black teen in Arkansas was fatally shot by a cop while outside a youth treatment center. Aries Clark was at East Arkansas Youth Services on Tuesday ― an emergency shelter for youths that his parents had sent him to for behavioral issues ― when the shooting occurred. “I never expected not to see my son again,” the boy’s mother, Vicky Clark, told WMC. Marion Police Chief Gary Kelley declined to release information related to the shooting, saying only that two officers have been placed on paid administrative leave, according to KATV. The Arkansas State Police declined to release more information when asked by HuffPost, citing the ongoing investigation.
