He was one of two people detained in the park shortly after Holliday was shot around 7:30 p.m., which is also when hundreds of teens were moving through the area, creating a disturbance and prompting a large police response. More than two dozen juveniles eventually were arrested.
But the 17-year-old was seen on video in an “altercation” with Holliday just before a gunshot was heard, according to a police report. He also ran from police and was found in possession of a weapon that had “one shell casing that had stove-piped,” it said.
