The deceased criminal suspect, Winston Boogie Smith, whom some Minneapolis residents rioted and looted on behalf of Thursday evening, turns out to have been a convicted felon, habitual criminal and woman beater.
“Smith’s criminal record includes 20 convictions, mostly for minor traffic and parking violations, plus three marijuana charges — and [an] aggravated robbery conviction in which his ex-girlfriend was beaten until her face was swollen and bloody, court documents show,” Fox News confirmed Friday
MORE … Members of the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force were trying to arrest Smith on a warrant for allegedly being a felon in possession of a gun.
Authorities said Smith fired a gun before two deputies shot him while he was inside a parked vehicle.
Family and friends described Smith as a father of three often harassed by police. They demanded transparency in the investigation and asked that anyone who might have video footage should come forward.
Another BLM Saint!
