No charges in Scurlock death; Douglas County attorney responds

Quote

6 News has learned there will be no charges filed against the business owner who fired fatal shots Saturday night in the Old Market that killed 22-year-old James Scurlock.

 

Kleine said the shooting death of Scurlock was senseless, and he showed video clips obtained from different nearby businesses of the shooting.

 

"One of the troubling things... is there is a lot of misinformation about this case in particular," he said.

 

Kleine described the events leading up to and including Scurlock's death from video evidence and witness accounts.

 

Scurlock and others could be seen speaking with the business owner in front of The Hive Saturday night after one of the members of the group had shoved the man's father to the ground.

 

The man, who Kleine did not name, is seen backing away from the group and Scurlock, asking them to leave him alone and not to damage his business. The man lifted his shirt to display a handgun in his waistband.

 

The group attacked the man, and they fell into a puddle on the street in front of the bar. The man grabbed his gun and fired two shots, which caused one member to run away from the man.

 

Scurlock was seen tackling the man from behind while he was trying to stand. The man told police Scurlock had him in a chokehold and witnesses said they heard the man say "Get off me" several times.

 

The man fired one shot which struck Scurlock in the collarbone. He died after being taken to Nebraska Medical Center.

Mayor Hillary Schieve had a message for Reno on Sunday: “Love lives here, not hate.” 

A day after violent riots damaged much of downtown Reno

“We can replace property, we cannot replace people,” Schieve said.

She also told rioters that they will be prosecuted. 

“If you were rioting in our streets and doing things that were harmful to our city… we will not tolerate that," she said.  

Sisolak had a harsher message for those who came to Reno to riot: “Get the hell out of town.”

Just to provide evidence that Biden actually said this nonsense.

 

When a police officer draws his or her service weapon, the objective MUST be 100% of the time to put rounds into the center mass of the intended target to fatally wound them.  I really do mean that sincerely - when that service weapon is drawn, it's only purpose should be to kill.  At no point should a law enforcement officer draw his or her weapon with intent to intimidate, cajole, threaten, or "wound" the target.

 

Any other reason for drawing the service weapon other than to kill unacceptably lowers the threshold for the use of that weapon.

A former Miss Universe Malaysia has been criticised after she posted a series of offensive comments about the Black Lives Matterprotests taking place across the US.

 

“I don’t live in America and it has nothing to do with me, but to me, it seems like the ‘whites’ won,” she wrote in her first post.

“If you’re angry, you response in rage and anguish and that means it has power over you. They have power over you.”

 

The Malaysian-Chinese-Brazilian beauty queen continued: “To the black people: Relax, take it as a challenge, makes you stronger.

“You chose to be born as a ‘coloured’ person in America for a reason. To learn a certain lesson.

“Accept it as it is, till now hunger and poverty still exists. It is what it is. It’s inevitable. Best you can do is remain calm, protect heart, don’t allow it to crumble.

“That’s your responsibility,” she added.

In another post, she answered a follower who asked what she meant by “chose to be born ‘coloured’” and said: “Like our souls. Chose this life, this country, this race, this human form, specifically… I always wonder why I’m born in Malaysia, as a white girl, with Chinese mom and Indian grandparents and Brazilian dad.

Sunday marked the fourth straight night of citywide protests -- some of them violent through the weekend. And early Monday morning, LMPD and National Guard officers were called to the area of 26th and Broadway to disperse a large crowd that had gathered near Yaya’s BBQ Shack. LMPD said shots were fired at them, and they returned fire, leaving the popular restaurant owner, David McAtee, dead at age 53.

An emotional Fischer announced Monday that there was no officer body camera video of the shooting.
