^ EJ , 21, was a member of the army until he was forced to leave due to leg injury, according to his dad. He was licensed to carry, and described as a beloved son and an all-around good guy. Rest in peace.
EJ was the proverbial 'good guy with a gun' who was trying to help after the shots broke out.
However, a police officer shot him in the face immediately upon arriving at the scene. That police officer's identity has not been released, nor has the video of the killing. The family, their attorney (Benjamin Crump), activists and members of the community are demanding more transparency.
