It all started last Saturday, when Curnell had an encounter with a police officer at the housing projects where he lived in Charleston, South Carolina.
This encounter left the unarmed youth with a bullet in the head. On a broader level, it has raised a lot of unanswered questions in the community.
None of the half dozen witnesses who saw the incident were willing to give their names to anyone interviewing them. They were all too terrified of the local police, who they describe as essentially assassinating the teen. All of the witnesses had the same story. Curnell was shot while kneeling and had no weapon.
A note left at the scene by a girl who signed her name only as “Sunshine” was affixed to a pole where a makeshift memorial to Denzel has been constructed
“JaBa was always a good person,” the note read. “He never bothered anyone. One day he was walking in the back of Bayside (Bridgeview’s former name) and he heard a voice that said put your hands behind your back, and he did that, and then the police shot him in the back, and we want justice for JaBa.”
