Looks to me like they took them off right after they shot him.
AS the kid is shot, and in the immediate aftermath, his arms do not move. They STAY in the interlaced position.
At 4:34 it looks like the shooter leans down and undoes the cuffs(or possibly cuts off zip-ties), THEN the arm flops free at 4:36. During the entire shooting and the several seconds after, that kid's hands REMAIN together behind his back.
That kid was cuffed. (but you're right, it doesn't even matter. It's irrelevant- that's a totally bad shooting regardless).
