There is a twist in the investigation on a deadly shot in a mall in Alabama it happened on Thanksgiving night, as shoppers were getting a huge advantage over Black Friday offers.
Activists marched in front of Hoover Mall, Alabama, to demand justice. Inside, Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr., 21, was killed by police.
His death and the evolutionary story of the investigators have since elicited more questions than answers.
On Thursday night, the police invaded the Riverchase Galleria following an altercation during which a man of 18 and 12 was shot.
Buyers ran for their lives.

"Everyone shouted, and everyone ran – people were running everywhere," said Lexi Joiner.
During the intervention, an officer in uniform shot Bradford. Subsequently, a police spokesman told reporters that Bradford was the shooter at the origin of the first incident and was brandishing a firearm.
"He met an armed subject fleeing the scene of a shootout where he had just shot someone else," said Hoover Police Captain Gregg Rector.
But on Friday night, this story changed when the police released a new version of events, claiming that "the initial press release was not totally accurate".
"New evidence now suggests that although Mr. Bradford may have been involved in some aspects of the altercation, he probably did not shoot the cartridges that injured the 18-year-old victim" said Friday the updated statement.

The police now say that at least one gunman is still on the run, who is perhaps the one who is actually responsible for the original shot.
Bradford appears to have undergone military training. But the Pentagon says that it has never been used.
On Saturday, protesters demanded transparency.
"Where are the images from the camera – why we have not seen them yet," said a protester. "They said that they had killed a man and wounded someone else, they had called him a suspect, what do they say now … where are the cameras?"
The policeman who killed Bradford is on administrative leave. There are now two investigations into this shooting, with the Alabama law enforcement agency taking the lead. There is also a separate internal investigation.
