Police were called just after 5:45 p.m. Aug. 1 about an armed robbery at the wireless retailer.<\/p>\n<p>A federal complaint filed against two adults in the case \u201421-year-olds Vondell Henry, Jr., and Deshalone Davis \u2014 said two people came in the store with guns drawn, and stole cellphones and cash. Authorities have said it was unclear whether Cobbs entered the store or stayed in the car.<\/p>\n<p>Police pursued the group, who fled in a gray Nissan Versa that was reported stolen out of Ohio, to a parking lot off Hanley Street in Gary, police reports show. Henry, who was driving, surrendered as his passengers ran from the car, police said. Police caught Davis and a juvenile suspect &#8220;without incident,&#8221; the reports show.<\/p>\n<p>Cobbs, however, was shot during a subsequent foot chase, authorities have said. According to a police report, Cobbs had a semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine in his hand and was running from police when the Gary police officer shot him outside an abandoned residence at the Concord Commons Housing Complex.<\/p>\n<p>Police said Cobbs &#8220;was lying on his stomach&#8221; and officers said they saw &#8220;a black semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine laying on the ground&#8221; under him, according to the reports.<\/p>\n<p>Cobbs was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill., where he died Aug. 2. The Cook County Medical Examiner&#8217;s Office ruled his death a homicide.<\/p>\n<p>The bullet entered an inch below the top of Cobbs&#8217; head and lodged in his brain, according to his autopsy report. The bullet did not appear to be fired at close range, the report states. He also had abrasions on his right arm, according to the report.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"trb_em\" data-content-id=\"96197848\" data-content-size=\"large\" data-content-type=\"image\" data-content-slug=\"ct-ct-ptb-march-for-cobbs-st-03185-20180317\" data-content-subtype=\"photo\" data-role=\"sc_item imgsize_ratiosizecontainer lightbox_container \" data-state=\"\" data-embed-id=\"96197848\">\n<div class=\"trb_em_mb\">\n<div class=\"trb_em_m\">\n<figure class=\"trb_em_ic_figure\" data-role=\"imgsize_item\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"trb_em_ic_img\" title=\"Cobbs rally\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trbimg.com\/img-5aad9eba\/turbine\/ct-ct-ptb-march-for-cobbs-st-03185-20180317\/750\/750x422\" alt=\"Cobbs rally\" data-baseurl=\"http:\/\/www.trbimg.com\/img-5aad9eba\/turbine\/ct-ct-ptb-march-for-cobbs-st-03185-20180317\" data-c-nd=\"2048x1365\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"trb_em_r\" data-role=\"lightbox_metadata\">\n<div class=\"trb_embed_related_credit_and_caption\">Protesters march in front of the Gary Public Safety Facility on Saturday, demanding answers in the 2017 shooting death of 15-year-old Kemonte Cobbs.
