A prominent 29-year-old activist found shot to death in a torched car near St. Louis early Tuesday was remembered by loved ones for protesting Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson.
Firefighters found Darren Seals after extinguishing a car fire in a Riverview parking lot — a suburb along the Mississippi River, according to the St. Louis American.
Seals, who was profiled in news reports amid anti-police brutality riots in 2014, was fatally shot before the vehicle was set on fire at around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday, police said.
Neighbor Aralyn Jones woke up and saw the car on fire after hearing a “big, big boom,” she told KMOV-TV.
No arrests were made and no suspects were immediately identified as of late Tuesday.
“I’m just numb,” said Seals’ heartbroken grandmother Ether Seals.
