It's the British. They don't know how to speak English.

I thought it was Unarmed Michael Brown. Maybe they are brothers?

“Shotdead” is a single word, like “runnedoff.”

He may have shot a dead Michael Brown. My guess is that the first bullet fired when Michael Brown and the police officer were scuffling in the police car over the officer’s weapon was the fatal shot. Michael Brown in attempting to flee eventually fell to his knees with his hands and arms flailing not to surrender but in the those of death. Any shots fired at him by the police officer outside the vehicle were likely immaterial.

My question is “Why do the media think his mother’s actions are relevant to the shooting of Michael Brown?”
