(CNN) -- A shooting involving police left a teen dead Saturday in Ferguson, Missouri, authorities said.
Witnesses decried the killing as unprovoked. The deceased,
Mike Brown, 18, was unarmed,
they told CNN affiliate KMOV.
Angry residents took to the streets by the hundreds to protest, and Ferguson police called up more officers to secure the scene, Police Chief Thomas Jackson said.
Jackson asked the St. Louis County Police Department to conduct an independent investigation into his officer's actions and the killing of Brown, 18. The Ferguson Police officer involved is on paid administrative leave during the investigation, but will be available to talk to county homicide detectives.
St. Louis County Police plans to release more information on the shooting Sunday.
At the peak of the spontaneous street protest, up to 1,000 people turned up, some very angry, Jackson said.
"We had what probably bordered on riot conditions," he said.
Officers heard gunfire at the protests, and it took them hours to secure the scene for county homicide detectives to get evidence safely before removing Brown's body, according to Jackson.
Social media protest
Protesters turned to social media to get their message out. On Twitter, some complained about the time it took authorities to remove Brown's body.
The St. Louis County NAACP also launched an investigation into the killing.
"We plan to do everything within our power to ensure that the Ferguson Police Department as well as the St. Louis County Police Department releases all details pertinent to the shooting," local chapter President Esther Haywood said in a statement. "We strongly encourage residents to stay away from the crime scene so that no additional citizens are injured."
