It wasn’t the police who shot my sister, it was one of y’all!
“My sister is gone and it’s not from a cop … My sister is gone because one of you, a protester, shot my sister. A protester, not the police! Because you guys, I lost my sister. I lost my sister because of you. You! You are so mad at the police that you are hurting everyone else. You’re so mad at the police, you guys killed my sister! For those who don’t know, it wasn’t the police who shot my sister, it was one of y’all!”
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A woman was killed in an apparently random shooting as she was leaving a protest against police brutality in Davenport, as gun violence and looting rocked the city for hours, police and her relatives said.
Italia Marie Kelly, 22, was one of two people fatally shot overnight as shootings and property destruction unfolded in many parts of Davenport, a city of 100,000 people across the Mississippi River from Illinois.
Kelly joined a protest over the death of George Floyd after getting off work at a restaurant Sunday night, according to her aunt, Amy Hale of Atchison, Kansas. She lived nearby.
Kelly, who is biracial and went by the last name Impinto, and a friend were getting in a vehicle to leave around midnight because the protest outside a Walmart had turned unruly, Hale said.
That’s when she was struck in the back by a bullet that went through her shoulder and chest, likely killing her instantly, Hale said. Attempts to resuscitate her were not successful, and Kelly was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Three Davenport police officers were ambushed in their vehicle by a gunman who fired multiple shots. One officer was struck but has survived.
