Kentucky officials said state authorities will investigate the police shooting death of a black Louisville restaurant owner during George Floyd protests early Monday, according to news reports.
David McAtee, the owner of Yaya’s BBQ next to the parking lot where he was shot and killed, was part of a “large crowd” that had gathered outside Dino’s Food Mart shortly after midnight, WLKY-TV reported Monday.
Louisville police and National Guard troops said they were fired on while breaking up the group and returned fire, striking McAtee.
“Officers and soldiers began to clear the lot and at some point were shot,” Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad told USA Today.
