Another Witness in the Michael Brown Shooting Death Has Been Found Murdered
Words by Nadia Shakur
While officer Darren Wilson receives around the clock protection the communities in Missouri ask who is protecting them? With another mysterious death their question is valid.
23-year old Shawn Gray was discovered unconscious and pronounced dead on the scene Wednesday afternoon. Gray had been missing since thanksgiving. He was last seen leaving Cardwell’s Restaurant and Bar where he worked at 11:30 thanksgiving night but never came home. His family said that was not like him to disappear without contacting someone so they filed a missing persons report two days later.
Police said they had no leads but his family tracked his car to a parking lot in Landue, Mo. After that, they tracked his cell phone to an area surrounding the Oak Hill Cemetery in Kirkwood.
Even after the family spoke with three different police departments Gray’s family did majority of the investigating.
The most disturbing aspect in Shawn Gray disappearance is that he was a known witness in Michael Brown’s killing who testified during the grand jury proceedings. The Gray family is demanding answers and feels there was definitely foul play involved.
One of the most perplexing things about the Michael Brown death is the fact that two witnesses to the shooting have been found dead under mysterious circumstances and the local authorities have developed no leads in either case.
Grand jury witness DeAndre Joshua was found shot dead and his car was torched the following day outside the same neighborhood where Brown was killed.
First DeAndre Joshua and now Shawn Gray, both young men who spoke up against injustice and both died mysteriously. Some may ask why would these two people be killed right after providing testimony to the grand jury? Perhaps they were killed to stymie any ongoing federal investigations into a possible prosecution against Darren Wilson or possibly other related lawsuits to follow.
There is definitely a message being sent and the community wants to know who is sending it.
