A 53-year-old restaurant owner, David McAtee, who gave police officers free meals was shot dead by officers amid #BlackLivesMatter protests in Kentucky, USA.
David was killed on Monday while police officers and National Guard soldiers were enforcing a curfew in Louisville, amid a wave of protests calling for justice for George Floyd.
His family said he died trying to protect his niece who also got shot but survived.
According to Metro.co.uk, David’s body was found lying in the same spot where he was shot.
The death of Mr McAtee prompted a massive march to the site where he was killed – near to his well-known restaurant YaYa’s BBQ Shack.
Hundreds turned up to mourn and pay tribute to the ‘well-liked’ restaurateur, who regularly gave free meals to police officers during their shifts.
