WASHINGTON - The fatal shooting of an unarmed African American man by an off-duty white police officer under mysterious circumstances has fuelled outrage in a North Carolina town, where residents and

relatives of the victim protested Thursday night .

"Just like the truth was revealed" for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor,"the truth will be revealed for Jason Walker," said Crump, referencing three high-profile killings of Black Americans by active or former police officers over the past two years. Moments later, Hash opened fire, and soon Walker lay dead of gunshot wounds. Exactly what transpired is in dispute.

"I think he fired the first shot through the windshield and three more times outside the vehicle," she added. Crump said the family and the broader Fayetteville community were demanding to know why Walker was"senselessly shot and killed" by an off-duty officer.
