Louisville mayor fires police chief after law enforcement killed an unarmed Black man during protests

[tacobell fan]

David McAtee, a BBQ chef who was described as a "pillar in the community," is dead after Louisville police and members of the National Guard opened fire on a crowd. Authorities believed someone in the crowd had shot first, but witnesses dispute that account. Mayor Greg Fischer fired Police Chief Steve Conrad on Monday after learning that officers did not activate their body cameras during the shooting. McAtee’s death comes weeks after Breonna Taylor was killed in her home by Louisville police and days after George Floyd’s death by Minneapolis police.

McAtee was a 53-year-old African American man known for offering free meals to officers who stopped by his restaurant.

“We lost a wonderful citizen named David McAtee,” Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said. “David was a friend to many, a well-known barbecue man.”

Acting police Chief Robert Schroeder said Tuesday that video from security cameras at McAtee’s business and an adjoining store showed McAtee firing a gun as officers approached.
