In fact, are we sure this article quoted is describing the same incident as the photograph?

Yes. The story identifies the victim by the same name, although spelled a bit differently, as the caption used by Reuters for the photo.

Edit Note: Actually, there are some real discrepencies in the name of the 19 year old victim as reported by the two news agencies, although the incident appears to be the same circumstances on August 29.
