Eric Garner, Oscar Grant, Alton Sterling, and Sean Bell are some names that may come to mind when reflecting on tragic cases where unarmed black men were unjustly murdered by police in the U.S.

On December 3, 2019, another situation similar to the aforementioned cases emerged in Kansas City, Missouri. According to KSHB-TV 41, a local NBC-affiliated Kansas City news outlet, Cameron Lamb, 26, was gunned down by police while he sat inside a car that was parked in his own backyard.

Laurie Bey, Lamb’s mother, spoke with the local news outlet about how her son’s killing has impacted her.

“You just don’t think that someone is going to call you and give you that news, that was supposed to me. I should not have been sitting down with that funeral director yesterday planning my son’s funeral. He was my baby, he was my youngest, he was my only son, he was so fun and loving,” Bey told 41 Action News.
