The story behind the shooting death of Antonio Martin is building, and now people have been crafting conspiracy theories in regards to the police's claims of how the shooting occurred.
Despite surveillance footage being released to the public, many people are still questioning the legitimacy of the cops side of the story. Some individuals believe that the fact that the footage pauses right after Martin raised his arm in the direction of the officer is suspicious, and others don't see how there wasn't a surveillance camera closer to the incident that could've captured everything that happened clearer.
Photos from the crime scene also raised eyebrows, as some Twitter users pointed out that the alleged gun that Antonio raised to the officer didn't actually appear on the ground until hours later. The fact that EMT officials weren't alerted to the shooting for a very long time was also very suspicious to many. On the flipside, there are those who think that the footage clearly shows that Antonio was in the wrong and that is what led him to be shot by the police officer.
