Another Witness in Michael Brown Shooting Found Dead
teleSUR ^ | December 8, 2014

The man has been identified as a 23-year-old black man who testified during the grand jury proceedings over the killing of Michael Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.

Another witness of the shooting of Michael Brown has been found dead in a dry channel near River Des Peres in Misssouri, local authorities confirmed.

The man has been identified as 23-year-old Shawn Gray, a black man who testified during the grand jury proceedings over the killing of Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.

According to relatives and friends, Gray was last seen leaving a restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. The manner and cause of his death are pending autopsy results. However, his family is demanding answers and say the death could have been premeditated murder.

Another witness DeAndre Joshua, also a young black man, was found shot dead and his car was torched outside the same neighborhood where Brown was killed.

Two witnesses of the Brown shooting have now been found dead under suspicious circumstances, while local authorities have not announced any leads in either case, and the press has provided minimal coverage.

The police murders of black young men in recent months has provided a stark reminder to the world of the harsh reality faced by many black communities in the United States. Their deaths exposed the continued persecution of black people.

Mass protests against these injustices have taken place across the country. Protesters are demanding justice for black lives lost at the hands of state sanctioned violence, with over 100 days of peaceful protest ranging from #HandsUpWalkOut and solidarity days with Ferguson.

Excuse me, but isn't the Murder of Two Witnesses in a Nationally trumped up "racial" killing by cop something we should look into?

Does the Brown Family with the ex Gang Member Stepfather have a financial interest to see some people disappear?

They want to sue the City for Millions. Get rid of the witnesses that backed up the Police Officers story and the Lawyers can spin a nice web to the jury.

I thought I read that DeAndre Joshua’s parents said he was not a witness and did not testify.

That’s one way to put it - in my mind you are far too kind.

We don't know how they testified--honestly or to support Dorian's lie. If honestly, how did their killers know that? Did someone inside the grand jury provide information to members of the community unhappy with the outcome of the grand jury?

In any case, sending a signal to everyone not to cooperate with official investigations.

Odd, the media is not focused on this - I thought ALL Black lives mattered - I guess some matter more than others and the media is promoting inequality.

They need to clean out the witness poll so Holder’s investigation can make the correct finding.

Every time some protests or promotes either Justice or Workers, we are dealing with the communist or social party's of America and then by extension the democrats.

Those Marxists who are either socialist/communists seize upon any event such as a death to create their Narrative.

Right wing death squads would be nice but I would not direct them against the low level scum of the earth so I highly doubt anything other more insidious than just plain old ghetto quality black-on-black crime.

Hell, it ain't safe to be in the Hood in Day-Lite if you Axed me.

The only reason the government is not protecting these people is to send a message to blacks.

Do you know which side their testimony supported?

Given the subject of this article - the murder of a grand jury “snitch”, the above statement is absurd.

What does that have to do with the story?
