The fatal shooting of black man Deon Kay at the hands of Washington DC Police, Wednesday afternoon, led to BLM protesters flocking the police station overnight demanding justice and ‘answers’.
Deon Kay’s shooting death took place in Southeast Washington’s Congress Heights neighborhood, the District’s police chief said.
Police said the encounter began when officers responded to a report of a man with a gun and came upon several people in and around a vehicle. They said two of those people ran, one of them displayed a firearm and an officer fired in response.
BLM organizers claim Kay had no weapon and was 'murdered' by DC police indiscriminately.
This video, from Deon Kay's Instagram page shows him flexing with several firearms. Instagram of course took down Kay's account after people started sharing the video.
DC police have promised to release the body-cam footage of Kay's shooting that proves he had a firearm.
