OAKLAND, Calif. (CN) - San Francisco police shot a black teen-ager to death because he ran away when they asked him if he'd paid his train fare, the teen's mother claims in Federal Court.

Denika Chatman sued the City and County of San Francisco, its police chief, and Officers Matthew Lopez and Richard Hastings, on her own behalf and for her late son, Kenneth Harding Jr., who was 19 when he was shot to death in the afternoon of July 16, 2011.

Chatman says in her complaint that her son was getting off the T-car train at the Oakdale/Palou Muni Station around 4:30 p.m. when Lopez and Hastings "inquired about whether Harding had paid his Muni fare."
