Cries of “No justice, no peace” rent the air at a rally recently for the death of Terrance Kellom, a 20 year old black who was shot down by a federal immigration officer.

More than two hundred people gathered outside the black’s home in the city of Detroit to protest against the death, which they said was not justified. Signs and banners were waved that read “Black Lives Matter”, and many drivers passing by honked back in response.

Leaders of various communities spoke out for the 20-year old and urged for peace. The founder of the Detroit Police Coalition Against Police Brutality stated that they would not stop until Terrance got justice and the entire neighborhood would be “free”.

What transpired was that recently, a task force with officers from across many agencies arrested the 20-year old from his home in Detroit. Terrance had skipped parole for a conviction and was also wanted in connection with an armed robbery. During the course of the arrest the ICE officer felt that he was “in imminent danger because the suspect was advancing on him”. The officer said that he had to use force to “overcome the suspect” and “protect himself.” The officer has been sent on leave.
