Memorial for armed BLM protester shot dead during Austin demonstration by motorist is vandalized and doused with white paint by man who says the slain former Air Force mechanic is a 'terrorist' who was 'rightfully and legally euthanized'
A memorial for a Black Lives Matter advocate who was killed during a march in Austin over the weekend has been vandalized and coated with white paint.
Garrett Foster was shot dead on Saturday evening after he confronted a motorist who had driven his vehicle toward a hundred-strong crowd of protesters marching in the city center, blaring his horn.
The 28-year-old former Air Force mechanic, who was carrying an AK-47, was shot three times and later died. Prior to his death, Foster had marched alongside his wheelchair bound fiancée, Whitney Mitchell, in the city for more than 50 consecutive nights.
In the days since his death, several memorials have cropped up across the city in tribute to Foster. One of the memorials, located near to the intersection of 4th & Congress Avenue where he lost his life, was defaced by a man on Tuesday morning.
