The Alton Sterling case made National News Headlines when on July 5th, 2016 he was shot several times at close range while held down on the ground by two white Baton Rouge Police Department officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Police were responding to a report that a man in a red shirt was selling CDs, and that he had used a gun to threaten someone outside a convenience store. The shooting was recorded by multiple bystanders and the shooting led to protests in Baton Rouge and a request for a civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
