Family and friends are struggling to find answers after 18-year-old Micheal Brown was shot and killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri.

According to KMOV, a local news channel in Ferguson, the teen was walking down the street to his grandmother's house with a friend when he was shot. As he turned around and threw up his hands to the police, he was shot 9-10 times.

Dorian Johnson, the teen who was walking with Brown says that after Brown put his hands up, the police continued to fire rounds.

"He (the officer) shot again and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air," he said. "He started to get down and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots."

The teen who recently graduated from high school was set to start college on Monday. His grandmother says that the teen was never in any trouble.

"He was a good kid. He didn't live around here," said Desuirea Harris. "He came to visit me and they did that to him for no reason."

Reports claim that Brown's lifeless body was left on the street for hours.

The officer who shot Brown has been put on administrative leave while the police investigate the shooting.

St. Louis NAACP President Esther Haywood says that the organization will also look into the incident.

"We are hurt to hear that yet another teen-aged boy has been slaughtered by law enforcement especially in light of the recent death of Eric Garner in New York who was killed for selling cigarettes," their statement reads. "We plan to do everything within our power to ensure that the Ferguson Police Department as well as the St. Louis County Police Department releases all details pertinent to the shooting. We strongly encourage residents to stay away from the crime scene so that no additional citizens are injured. I have spoken directly with St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, and I am confident that both he and his department will ensure that the investigation is conducted properly and that all details are kept transparent."

The family of the slain teen and community members rushed the streets in protest of the killing and demanded answers from the police.

Teens took to Twitter and Instagram to post images from the incident and protests that followed after.
