Nathaniel, who had Down Syndrome, was shot dead on Wednesday night.
His grandfather, James, said the boy had done nothing wrong when he was shot.
Nathaniel’s father, Clint Smith, said he was called by a neighbour who told him his son had been shot by the police.
He was apparently put in a police van and taken to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital.
When the family arrived, they were told the teenager had died.
His death triggered massive protests in the area.
