A Black Lives Matter protester, who was shot dead during a demonstration in
Texas by a driver who sped toward the crowd before opening fire Saturday night, was pushing his paraplegic fiancee in her wheelchair just moments before the shooting.
The victim has been identified as Garrett Foster, whose mother, Sheila, spoke to
Good Morning America on Sunday.
Foster's mother said her son had attended several peaceful protests with his fiancee Whitney Mitchell, who is a quadruple amputee. Sheila said Foster was pushing his fiancee right before he was fatally shot.
