Protesters Take to Streets After Black Man Described as ‘Pillar of the Community’ is Shot Dead by White Texas Police Officer

Jonathan Price

Protesters streamed through the streets of Wolfe City, Texas, on Monday night, chanting the name of Jonathan Price — the black man who was killed by a police officer over the weekend.

The march went past the gas station where Price, 31, was gunned down Saturday while intervening in a fight between a man and a woman, witnesses said.

Wolfe City Officer Shaun Lucas responded to a call for a domestic fight just after 8 p.m., using a Taser on Price and then firing his weapon.

Price — described as a “pillar of the community” — died at the hospital.

Lucas, who is white, has since been charged with murder.

“The preliminary investigation indicates that the actions of Officer Lucas were not (objectively) reasonable,” said a statement from the Texas Department of Safety.
