A Black Lives Matter activist killed himself on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse, say the authorities.
State Highway Patrol officials tell the Columbus Dispatch that MarShawn M. McCarrel II, 23, shot himself outside the front door of the Statehouse on Monday evening.
Lt. Craig Cvetan says McCarrel , who was from the Columbus suburb of Franklin Township, died at the scene. He was not a state employee.
Cvetan says it's unclear why McCarrel killed himself.
'We don't have any evidence to know the reason why he did it,' Cvetan said.
Authorities say nobody saw the shooting, but the man was seen on Statehouse grounds just before the gunshot.
'My demons won today. I'm sorry,' the young activist posted to his Facebook hours before shooting himself, according to the authorities.
