A white, wide-bodied oldsmobile dappled with rust,

cruised through the picturesque suburban streets of Falcon Heights, Minnesota on July 6, 2016.

The right tail light on the vehicle was recently fixed with Redlands repair tape,

and the center light in the back window needed a replacement.

The windows were rolled down, letting the comfortable warm air play through the drivers

recently cut and done braids. Falcon Heights, Minnesota, is known to be a mostly white

An African-American man gunned down by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana just one day prior.

Baton Rouge police received a call about a man in a red shirt selling CDs, who was threatening the

caller with a gun outside of a convenience store. When two police officers arrived, they quickly

detained Alton, who were a red shirt and typically sold CDs in the parking lot of the store.

The officers quickly tossed him onto the hood of a sedan, then to the ground, with one of the

officers knees pressing into his chest and training his gun in Alton's face. It was not long before

and the officer on pop fired his weapon six times at point blank range into Alton's body.

Alton Sterling did not survive the incident with two white police officers.
