On July 5, 2016, Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old black man, was shot several times after being tackled to the ground by two white Baton Rouge Police Department officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Police were responding to a report that a man dressed in red and
selling CDs used a gun to threaten someone outside a convenience store.
The shooting was recorded by multiple bystanders. The videos show the
confrontation and shooting at point-blank range.
The shooting led to protests in Baton Rouge and a civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
