A 15-year-old boy was shot and killed by Minneapolis police in 
the Jordan neighborhood early Sunday after he reportedly refused 
to drop a weapon that police said resembled a .45-caliber pistol.

The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun, police said.

Officials have not released the name of the victim, but family 
members identified him as Courtney Williams of Minneapolis.

Family members also denied Sunday that Williams had a gun and said 
he was killed for no reason.
