The 19-year-old college student who was fatally shot by an Arlington police officer last month at a car dealership had a synthetic psychedelic drug and marijuana in his system, the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office reported Wednesday.

Christian Taylor of Arlington, a sophomore football player at Angelo State University, was shot four times by rookie officer Brad Miller, 49, early Aug. 7.
