A security guard at a Southern California market is charged with murder after allegedly fighting with a customer who wasn't wearing a face mask.

Umeir Corniche Hawkins shot 50-year-old Jerry Lewis on July 5, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said. Prosecutors say the two men began arguing when Lewis entered the market without wearing a face mask. Lewis then left the market but when he returned the two fought again and Hawkins fatally shot him as he walked away, prosecutors said.

Louisiana governor says progress against coronavirus has been wiped out in past three weeksAs more mandates requiring face masks go into effect throughout the country, store employees have often been tasked with the tall order of enforcing those rules and are often times greeted with harsh responses. In May, a Michigan security guard was fatally shot after telling a customer to wear a state-mandated face mask.

Black lives matter what a joke

Lovely couple

cnn foments discontent

Self- defense.

Nothing to see here... move along... just black-on-black murder... not important

Why was he even a Security guard?🤔

I hope those two did not reproduce. Amazing that it has come to this. Death over a flimsy useless mandated slip of fabric intended to steal your face and recycle your already depleted breath. I give thanks that masks are not mandated where I live. Few wear them.

This mask thing is resulting in death execution style

So she can kill but he can't

Wear a mask.

You have encouraged this with your fake news

So why do you asshats not use the words Black Man like you do when it is a white man killing a black criminals.

How was he a security guard as a felon with a gun? How stupid were the people that hired him?

Right to the electric chair...do not pass go, don't even give him his day in court. I am sure there are enough witnesses and video of the event to find him 100% guilty.

Over a mask? Lives altered and lost forever over a piece of cloth?

How did a convicted felons get a security guard job and a gun?

Wisdom and discretion matters Now he's facing murder! The employers are on on the sideline to replace him

He's black.

Lol, over minimum wage? People take their jobs too seriously.

Why was he even a security with his history? Scary.

Few less idiots wont change much, if they didnt die by the gun, they'll die by the tiny covid

If the sec. guard was white, would CNN use such wording? Thoughts?

Black on black violence...that resulted in a murder charge... when is the BLM protest ?

Wait He fought a woman to death

Wear the mask else you die

اي منظمة غير خاضع لمواثيق دولية سيكون مشكلة عصابات مثير لتغطية الأجندة

Why no colorful colors 🤔

Follow for follow back

Vea la foto que publica. Uds viven como reyes de las mieles del capital y mantienen viva la llama del comunismo de otros países que están muriendo de hambre... Son una vergüenza...

This is out of control, jail him forever.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner Ignored a Non-Essential Travel Ban to Go on VacationNot a single face mask in sight. I think we can show our distaste for their disrespect by ceasing coverage. I won't shop in a store that won't require masks, I'm done with the wealthy flaunting their privilege. If this is our French Revolution, have at it. This is disgusting. I wish it were me in my own jet flying around the southwest.
