USA: Mourners pray for Keith Lamont Scott after police shooting in Charlotte
A group of mourners from a local church gathered ten minutes away from the Charlotte city centre, North Carolina, Saturday, where a memorial was being held for Keith Lamont Scott who died at the hands of police.
According to police, officers went to a Charlotte apartment complex looking for a suspect with an outstanding warrant, Tuesday, when they saw Keith Lamont Scott exiting his car before shooting and killing him. Police claim that Scott was carrying a gun - his family insists he was carrying a book. There is video footage of the shooting which the police have so far refused to release to the public.
His death is the latest incident in a long line of police shootings and has been met with outrage by the general public, the US African-American community, Black Lives Matter activists and other anti-racist groups.
