I couldn't find this story by searching "boy" or "kid" and maybe that's because the media likes to adultify black minor victims of police brutality. There was one article that echoed speculation on the part of law enforcement that this was suicide-by-cop in the headline. This person being an unarmed minor is the bigger story than that he allegedly pretended to draw his water bottle.
