Tuesday morning, the Los Angeles Police Department released a security video of the chase leading up to the death of 18-year-old Carnell Snell, Jr.
Snell was fatally shot by police Saturday. Officers tried to pull over a car Snell was in because it had temporary paper license plates that didn't match the year of the vehicle. LAPD reported the officers believed the car might be stolen.
Snell had exited the car by the time the video was recorded.
