Police killing of 'BBQ Man' Dave McAtee renews a familiar anguish in Louisville. “All he did on that barbecue corner is try to make a dollar for himself and his family,' McAtee's mother said. 'And they come along and they killed my son.'
The calls for transparency followed the firing Monday of Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad after it was revealed that the officers involved in the McAtee shooting had not activated their body cameras, as required.
Riley said McAtee would give out free meals to community members, including officers of the same police department that fired shots at him.McAtee, known to many as the “BBQ Man,” used food to bring the community together, Carlos Nolen, who holds events nearby Yaya’s and knew McAtee, “He tried to feed everybody. He wouldn’t even charge half of them. He would just feed them so they wouldn’t go hungry,” she said.
Taylor's boyfriend, believing they were intruders, fired a legal firearm at the officers. Taylor was killed in the responding gunfire.The city, still incensed by Taylor's death, has protested for six nights calling for racial equality in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody in Minnesota on May 25.
