A community activist connected to the Black Lives Matter movement committed suicide outside the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus Monday night, according to the Columbus Dispatch.Does anyone else see the irony here. Supporter of black lives matters kills himself, thus suggesting that his black life didn't matter. Word is they have suicide watch on Cam Newton because some feel his life matters.
MarShawn McCarrel II, 23, was pronounced dead at the scene after authorities responded to reports of a shooting near the front entrance around 6 p.m. local time, Lt. Craig Cvetan of the State Highway Patrol told the paper.
Active in the Black Lives Matter movement, McCarrel helped organize Ohio-based protests in the wake of the Michael Brown incident in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014.
He also founded a youth mentorship program called Pursuing Our Dreams. The program later launched the Feed the Streets initiative to help Ohio’s homeless population.
