The officer who fatally shot unarmed Missouri teen Michael Brown in broad daylight on Saturday opened fire when the student's hands were raised and then 'stood over him and fired' when he lay wounded on the floor, according to witnesses. And during an emotional television interview on Monday evening, Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden (top left), said that the teen was 'executed in broad daylight wearing sandals and shorts.' The shocking eyewitness account follows a promise by Ferguson police to name the officer involved in the 18-year-old's shooting by 2pm Tuesday. This self-imposed deadline followed an earlier announcement by the FBI that they would open their own investigation into the college students death amidst a night of fiery looting and rioting across the St. Louis suburb. That officer, who witnesses to the shooting claim is white, is currently on paid administrative leave following the death of the African American, who was shot up to eight times - including once in the face - during Saturday's incident while he was walking to his grandmothers.
