LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Las Vegas police are promising some answers today about the killing of a handcuffed teenager shot by officers as he ran from an unmarked police vehicle over the weekend.
The teen's name's being withheld by the Clark County coroner's office, and the names of the officers are being withheld by the police department.
Police administrators have asked for public patience, while promising a complete investigation following the Saturday morning shooting at an apartment complex in the city's northeast.
Initial reports are that the teenager was arrested for questioning in the slaying of another person earlier in the week in the same general northeast Las Vegas area.
Police say the teen worked his handcuffed hands from the back to the front of his body, and ran from the detectives' vehicle before the officers shot him in the back.
