  No, but he was shot because of the fake gun and not because he was black. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-86-carrying-fake-or-toy-guns-killed-by-police-in-2-years/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-86-carrying-fake-or-toy-... > 43 people shot while carrying fake guns in 2016, as well as the same number in 2015, are based on data compiled by the paper as part of its national database of fatal police-involved shootings. Four of those killed were under the age of 17, and seven were over the age of 55. Of those killed, all but five were men, 54 were white, 19 were black and 11 were Hispanic.
