Miami-Dade Fire Rescue couldn't save him. Doctors at Hollywood Memorial Hospital pronounced him dead.
ARMED WITH GUN
The shooting happened a few days after a police officer shot 16-year-old Latavis Graham, whom they said was armed with a handgun.
Latavis was in a Kia that didn't have a license plate and was reported stolen May 17. He was with 16-year-old Christopher Jones and 15-year-old Kennen Brown.
Both Latavis and Christopher were armed, police said.
Despite commands to drop his weapon, police said an officer shot Latavis when he pointed a gun at police officers.
