He was apparently seen by a helicopter breaking into cars and a house nearby.

He had his cell phone in his hand, Police saw something, they thought it was a gun and told him to drop the gun and raise his hands. If he followed orders, dropped the phone and raised his hands, he would not have gotten shot.

Seems unreasonable to believe a helicopter flying 500-1000 feet overhead, at night, in a busy city...just happened to see someone stealing stuff out of parked cars.

You should not be so quick to believe everything cops say. Like most other people, they will lie if it helps them cover their asses.
