With the staggering amount of coverage that Michael Brown’s death received over the last week and a half, and rightly so, you might’ve missed the news of what happened to Crawford. Crawford was shopping at the Beavercreek, Ohio, Walmart on Aug. 6, and at some point, he allegedly picked up one of the air rifles sold by the retail chain.
What’s known definitively is that the police were called in response to Crawford, and when they arrived, they shot him fatally. His partner, LeeCee Johnson, was also in the store at the time — the two were in different sections of the retail giant, and were talking
on the phone at the time of the shooting, according to the
Dayton Daily News
