A Black Texas resident that attempted to break up a domestic violence dispute at a local gas station has been pronounced dead after being murdered at the hands of local police over the weekend!

The horrific incident took place Saturday evening at a Kwik Check gas station near Santa Fe Street in Wolfe City reports NBC News.

Sources have confirmed that #JohnathanPrice , 31 had attempted to intervene between an unidentified man and woman.

A Facebook post reports that there is a current investigation underway by the Texas Rangers and that the unidentified officer has since been placed on administrative leave. However it has been noted that the post declined to mention the murder of Price.

Price’s family attorney Lee Merritt has come forward to state, “the lack of transparency in police investigations that we have all grown accustomed to.”

The family as well as Merritt is currently demanding footage of the incident to be released. They’ve already requested video from the gas satiation owner who has denied them access.

“We want to see a copy of the video, and we want to see the official police report, which we haven’t seen yet,” Merritt stated publicly within a news conference at the gas station. “We want the officer officially named, identified and arrested.”

Meritt goes on to say that the officers hadn’t complied to the public through social media the exact location of the incident. After being provided with minimal details he states, “When police arrived, I’m told, he raised his hands and attempted to explain what was going on,” Merritt said in the post. “Police fired tasers at him and when his body convulsed from the electrical current, they ‘perceived a threat’ and shot him to death.”

Price’s family says that he was raised and lived his life by doing the right thing. That he was loved by everyone and worked hard to motivate others.

 “Everyone in this community will echo that this shouldn’t have happened to Jonathan because of the character that he had,” adds Meritt.

He notes,”However, this shouldn’t happen to anybody. And it happens far too often to unarmed Black men, particularly in North Texas. So we unfortunately can’t divorce the race issue from it,”
