Helping for the fight for Justice 4 Alaunte Scott

On February 28, 2023, Alaunte Scott was murdered on the 4300 block of 3rd St. SE by U.S. Marshals (USMS) assisted by D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Police shot Alaunte seven times in the back. According to several reports, U.S. Marshals parked and waited outside for hours before seeing Alaunte. It appears Alaunte was on his way to take out the trash before meeting with his probation officer. Just minutes later, federal law enforcement took this young Black man's life. Chief Contee claims an MPD officer “responded to this location to assist the U.S Marshals of D.C Superior Court Division.” He did not provide a reason why MPD was called to respond, the number of MPD officers on the scene, or what they did there. Police further allege that Alaunte ran “a short or slight distance” and “produced” a gun.
