A protester has died after being shot during the Charlotte riots on Wednesday September 21 in a graphic scene captured on video.
The City of Charlotte originally said the protester was killed by another civilian in the crowd, but later corrected the statement to say the shot protester was critically injured and is on life support.
The shot man, identified as Justin Carr, has now died. Furthermore, who shot him has become a point of contention, and the police chief said on September 22 that police were still investigating the death, including allegations that a police officer shot Carr. On Friday, the chief said a civilian, Rayquan Borum, a felon, was arrested in Carr’s death.

A state of emergency was declared in Charlotte, according to CNN, as riots grew in intensity on September 21. At least 20 officers were injured in two days of rioting, four on Wednesday. People threw things, looted stores, vandalized squads and buses and tear gas was deployed on protesters.
One man was attacked in a parking lot. Watch that video here:
The unrest was sparked by the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, a father of seven who was shot and killed by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Brentley Vinson. Vinson and Scott are both African-American. The police chief, also black, has pushed back against social media narratives that Scott was unarmed and carrying a book when shot. He said on Wednesday that Scott was armed with a gun, refused commands to drop the weapon, and that police did not find a book.
