A Black Lives Matter activist from South Carolina died Tuesday (Feb. 6) after being shot in the thigh earlier in the day .. in New Orleans ...

Nearly a year ago d'Baha drew national attention with a famed leap, hurtling past yellow police tape and throwing himself toward a Confederate battle flag in attempts to tear it down, during a protest in Charleston ...

The flag was being waved before an appearance by activist Bree Newsome at the College of Charleston ...

... As of Tuesday night, police had not named any suspects or motives in the case ...

2. Amy Goodman at Democracy Now interviewed d'Baha last year,

... she ran a clip today...a young man just wanting what others are given outright --respect, dignity, equality, freedom from injustice. We have lost a leader ...it's sad day for America.

Also, within a weeks time also past..Colts player, Edwin Jackson, Eric Garner's daughter, and activist, Erica Garner ..they brought a light to the world.

3. watching the investigation CAREFULLY...

I'm thinking I KNOW what the suspect may look like... but I'm not going to say anything until the police make the arrest.

(But I'm thinking face tats and a swastika tat somewhere on the body)
