What if getting help from the cops also meant you could get evicted? That's the scary reality for numerous tenants across the country who live in municipalities with "nuisance property" ordinances, according to a new report by The New York Times.

As far as NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly can remember, Douse is the youngest person ever shot by the NYPD.

Shaaliver Douse was killed around 3 a.m.; police say Douse was chasing and shooting at an unidentified man when two officers responded and ordered the teen to drop his weapon. Douse allegedly fired a fourth shot, though it's unclear if he was shooting at police or his alleged target. One officer then opened fire, shooting Douse in the jaw. His aunt, however, insists the teen was unarmed.

"There was no gun," his aunt, Quwana Barcene, claims, according to the NY Post. "It’s all a cover-up. It’s what the police do. They kill us and cover it up."

And his mother, Shanise Farrar, described the fatal shooting as an "assassination," asking, "Why would you still shoot him in the head? You're supposed to shoot him in the arm, shoot him in the foot, break him down."
