"It's never a good day when something like this happens, our hearts go out to the family," one officer told the media.

While an officer fields questions from journalists, the boy’s father can be heard behind them.

"Where's my son, man?" he is heard asking, before saying he’s waited nine hours for an update.

"I haven't heard s--- about my son all day. I know that ain’t right."

Kingston’s father is then approached by one of the officers, who try to calm him.

"We've been trying to notify you…" the officer says.

"There's something wrong? Let me know right here," the father says, before walking away saying "my son's dead, man".

A woman’s loud cries can then be heard.
