New video has emerged showing the tense moments that followed the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
The video shows the 18-year-old's body lying on the ground on a street in the Missouri town where he was shot on August 9.
Police had cordoned off the street and people in the neighbourhood are seen gathering at the edges of the street. Police cars patrol the scene.
Ten days after the shooting, which has sparked violent protests on the streets of Ferguson, the parties agree only on one thing: Mr Brown was shot multiple times by a police officer.
But what exactly happened remains contentious.
:: What Police Say
Police say the shooting was the result of a confrontation between Mr Brown, his friend and officer Darren Wilson.
Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson Mr Wilson was pushed into his squad car, then physically assaulted during a struggle over his weapon. At least one shot was fired inside the car.
The struggle then spilled on to the street, where Mr Brown, who was unarmed, was shot repeatedly.
Police have said that Mr Wilson, a veteran with no previous complaints during his six-year career, is "devastated" by what happened.
They have described Mr Brown as a suspect in a "strong-arm" robbery that took place shortly before the shooting. But the scuffle was not related to that incident.
:: What A Witness Says
Mr Brown's friend, Dorian Johnson, said the officer ordered him and Mr Brown out of the street, then tried to open his door so close to the pair that it "ricocheted" back.
Residents gathering after the shooting This apparently upset the officer.
Mr Johnson said Mr Wilson grabbed Mr Brown's neck and tried to pull him into the car before brandishing his weapon.
He said Mr Brown started to run and the officer pursued him, firing multiple times.
Mr Johnson and another witness said Brown had his hands raised when the officer fired.
Mr Brown's family said he was a gentle boy who may have made mistakes but did not deserve to die.
They are seeking Mr Wilson's arrest.
:: What the autopsies show
A private autopsy performed at the request of Mr Brown's family determined he was shot at least six times, including four times in the arm and twice in the head.
The results of a private autopsy were discussed on Monday The fatal shot entered the top of his head, suggesting the teen was bent forward when the bullet struck him, said forensic expert Dr Michael Baden, who performed the autopsy.
No signs of gunpowder, which would be consistent with close-range shots, were found on the victim's body. However, the clothes, which could show such traces, had not been analysed.
A bullet wound to his right arm may indicate his hands were up or his back was turned, but the autopsy team cannot be sure without more information, the forensic pathologists said.
The post mortem found no sign of struggle.
A St Louis County autopsy has found Mr Brown was shot six to eight times, according to preliminary results.
