A Texas rookie police officer, still in training, shot and killed an unarmed, black teenage college football player early Friday in an incident police are still probing.

USA Today reports Arlington police contend 19-year-old Christian Taylor was fatally wounded when he attempted to drive a SUV through the glass doors of a nearby car dealership. Department officials said they have no video of the incident because officers there are not required to wear body cameras.

Police spokesperson Sgt. Paul Rodriguez added it's unknown if the dealership's surveillance system captured any of the incident. Police arrived at the Classic Buick GMC dealership on an Interstate 20 service road just after 1 a.m. amid reports of a sport-utility vehicle being driven through the front of the building.

"Officers established a perimeter and approached the suspect inside," said Rodriguez. "As officers confronted the suspect, there was an altercation during which at least one officer discharged his weapon."

Reports are 49-year-old Officer Brad Miller fired the fatal shot. He joined the department in September and graduated from its police academy in March, but was still under supervised training.

An Arlington area high school grad, Taylor was a sophomore defensive back on the Angelo State University football team and was planning on returning to school on Sunday.

"They say he's burglarizing the place by running up in there? Nuh-uh. Something doesn't sound right," Taylor's great uncle Clyde Fuller told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Taylor had no criminal convictions, but was sentenced to six months of probation in December on a charge of possession of a controlled substance. He successfully completed probation in June and his case was formally dismissed in early July.

Right after his record had been wiped clean, Taylor tweeted, "I don't wanna die too younggggg."

According to The Guardian, thus far this month 21 people have been killed by police across the USA, two others on Friday in California and Nevada. For the year, 696 people have been killed by officers so far. Taylor is the 171st black male.

This Sunday also marks the first anniversary of the death of Ferguson, Missouri teenager Michael Brown, another unarmed black teen shot and killed by police in an incident that set off protests and demonstrations across the country. White officer Darren Wilson was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing in the deadly incident and has since left the department.
