My very first statement - I’ll believe it when I see a video. Police don’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore.

It did, and he didn’t

Ok. Let the body cam sort that out then.

Neither suggests anyuthing in the footage showing he pointed a gun at officers.

But second link does say this:

Patterson and Husnay ran after Nyah, with Patterson taking the teen down after a short chase as officers can be heard screaming “He’s got a gun.”

Husnay had his gun drawn and appeared to shoot Nyah when he was down on the ground, according to his released bodycam footage.

Please find me where either of these articles corroborates that the bodycam shows he pointed a gun at police.

Here’s key bits of the video:

Looks to me like he was trying to drop the gun, it’s pointed at himself if anything. Still is as provided by the newsteam in the youtube link, and if you listen to the audio, they are clearly accepting the police story and not disagreeing - so this is the best they could do to make it look good for them.

This isn’t even when they shot him!! They shot him ON THE GROUND.
