Black Lives Matter Activist Kills Himself on Steps of Ohio Statehouse
---------------------------------------------------------------------

A Black Lives Matter activist has shot himself to death at the entrance
to the Ohio Statehouse. Mar Shawn Mc Carrel was 23 years old. He
organized against the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson and
worked to aid the homeless, after he himself was homeless for three
months. His last post on Twitter said he wanted to "let the record show"
that he urinated on the Statehouse "before I left."
