A South Florida law enforcement agency is hosting another community conversation event on Thursday, as it grapples with uproar over a teen's death.

The Boynton Beach Police Department is holding a second in a series of events officials say in an attempt to strengthen community connections.

Former Police Chief Michael Gregory resigned last month amid turmoil over the death of a 13-year old boy who crashed his dirt bike while fleeing a traffic stop.

The family of Stanley Davis III have been demanding charges be filed against the officer who was following him at the time, but FHP has ruled Officer Mark Sohn did nothing wrong.

An investigation found the teen was illegally engaging in reckless driving on city streets at speeds of over 80 miles per hour.

Sohn is currently on administrative leave, pending an Internal Affairs investigation.

Boynton Beach's Assistant Police Chief is serving as Interim Chief.

The Community Conversation is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Boynton Beach Police Department, 2100 High Ridge Road, Boynton Beach, FL 33426.

It will be streamed live on the agency's YouTube channel, for those unable to attend in person.
