Darren Seals, one of the activists who led protests in response to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., was found dead with a gunshot wound inside a burned-out car in nearby Riverview early Tuesday morning, the St. Louis County Police Department said.
After the flames were extinguished, police discovered Seals, 29, who appeared to have been shot. Officials are treating the case as a homicide.
According to the Nation, Seals was one of the first to arrive at the scene of Brown's killing.
"It wasn't even a protest yet," Seals told the magazine in October 2014. "It was a black boy being shot in the community. It was about 10 other women and men out there, and the family."
Seals was among those who stood alongside Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, outside the Ferguson police station listening to a radio broadcast of the St. Louis County prosecutor's decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the death of her son.
