#ShayBae Today marks 6 months since the unsolved murder of #DeshaylaHarris... It's not fair what the city of Virginia Beach is doing to her mother and family. 6 months and still no answers. Life hasn't been, and will never be the same for this family... Why did they notify her mother via #FaceTime that she had passed?... Why did they leave her in the street all night? 💔 Why did they erase her social media? Why is there no surveillance video in one of the "safest" resort areas in the world? Why is there no body cam footage? Why did she just so happen to be murdered directly across from the police-involved murder of #DonovonLynch? Why doesn't the Virginia Beach city council outside of Sabrina Wooten care about her family? Her mother can't rest, so we can't rest. We will be having a candlelight vigil for her tonight at the Oceanfront. 🕊 #JusticeForDeshaylaHarris #DontPanic #Activist #ActivistAF #Selfie #Explore #ExplorePage #BLM757 #BeardGoals #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter757 #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistory #FYP #BLM #Sunday #SayHerName (at Virginia Beach, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUSypMyPUmY/?utm_medium=tumblr

#PharrellWilliams on Saturday told the newest graduates of a #historicallyblackuniversity in #Virginia to act like 'the emerging majority' and help develop the area's businesses and culture. Williams gave the fall commencement speech to the class of 2020 at #NorfolkStateUniversity, not far from where he grew up in adjoining #VirginiaBeach. The 'Happy' singer told listeners to do their part by spending money at local businesses that care, and by changing #outdated language, like the word '#minorities.' 'We are the emerging #majority,' he said. 'Don't wait until Election Day. Vote with your wallets today, tomorrow and the next day.' 'I am honored to have made this part of my work, my story and still today, I can't wait to see how far you amazing, impressive graduates of #NorfolkState ... how far you'll go.' He received an #honorary doctorate from the school and was also named an honorary member of Norfolk State's #MarchingBand - which brought him to tears. Williams said the city of Norfolk will thrive because it recognizes how important it is to acknowledge past and local heroes: 'Norfolk will not be the city that limits its peoples' own potential, but instead, it will feed it.' Williams has had a fraught relationship with the city of Virginia Beach recently. He criticized the city months ago for its response to the death of his cousin #DonovonLynch, who was shot by a police officer in March at the city's #oceanfront. A Virginia Beach police officer fatally shot Lynch, 25, along with #DeshaylaHarris, 29, while injuring eight others. Two officers who were also present at the time of the deadly shooting did not have their body cameras turned on. Two weeks ago, it was announced that a grand jury determined the officer was justified in the fatal shooting. Williams wrote city officials last month saying he won't bring his 'Something in the Water' music festival back to the city's oceanfront, partly because of how the city handled the investigation. #HBCU #HBCUGrad #hbcugrads #Pharrell #WonderWombman ✨👉🏾 Kindly FOLLOW Our New Page @wonderwombman2 👉🏾 (DM For Promo Prices) 📬📥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXaLjOzOAR6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pharrell Williams is demanding federal investigations into the death of his cousin at the hands of the Virginia police last month.
The Neptunes frontman celebrated his 48th birthday on Monday, April 5, but spent the day at the funeral of Donovon Lynch, who was shot and killed by a Virginia Beach police officer on March 26.

Donovon Lynch's family attorney claims body was moved, another officer was involved in Oceanfront shooting VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Family and friends of Donovon Lynch, the man killed by Virginia Beach Police at the Oceanfront on March 26, believe his body was moved and left for an inhumane amount of time. During a press conference Monday, they claimed another Virginia Beach Police officer shot someone else in the Oceanfront shootings. During the press conference, Donovon’s family and friends continued to beg for more transparency. “We are heartbroken. Angry. Frustrated. Hurt,” Donovon’s father, Wayne Lynch, said Monday. Wayne was surrounded by friends, family and supporters, speaking out 18 days after his son was shot and killed. The family remains upset, saying police have not been transparent and that they believe officials are leaving out huge details of what happened at the Oceanfront that night. Jeff Reichert, the family attorney, says Donovon was shot in the leg and chest from just 15 yards away as he was fleeing the sound of gunshots nearby. “There was a second officer that shot a witness that came to Donovon’s aid. Right there – shot him in [the] hand. He got away; no one has talked to that person,” Reichert said. Donovon’s loved ones remain mystified as to why the names of the two officers they now believe were involved have gone unnamed. Reichert said, “Two officers fired their weapons, and neither one of their cameras were on?” According to eyewitnesses and surveillance video they’ve obtained, loved ones believe that Donovon’s body was moved near DeShayla Harris’ body. She was a victim killed from shots fired that night. They said Donovon’s body sat on a gurney until 9 a.m. the next morning. “How did he get from here to over there? His body laid in [the] street all night long while family was looking for it,” Reichert said. Another frustration of family and friends is that they say VBPD has changed their story several times. Loved ones at the press conference said the latest information is that Donovon was brandishing a weapon. They say – again from eyewitnesses – it did not happen, and the family said he had a permit to carry. “I asked them tweet a retraction of [the] word ‘brandishing’ until you can confirm or deny whether he was brandishing a weapon,” Reichert said. The family is now asking for a federal investigation from the Department of Justice, regular updates from state and local police and immediate identification of the officers they said are involved. News 3 reached out to Virginia Beach Police to ask if the body was moved, if the other officer the family believes was involved and shot someone is being investigated, and when or if they will release the names of police officers involved. In a statement released later Monday, Virginia Beach City Manager Patrick Duhaney told News 3 Lynch’s body was moved so officials could give him aid in a safer area. Duhaney says firefighters and police carried Lynch “about half a block east on 20th Street between Atlantic and Pacific Avenues,” adding that EMS and fire crews followed guidelines for responding to active shooter incidents and incidents with multiple casualties. Duhaney’s full statement can be read below: “With condolences to the Lynch and Harris families, we reaffirm our commitment to thorough investigations into the circumstances of the deaths of Donovan Lynch and DeShayla Harris on March 26, 2021. The City has already demonstrated its willingness to have a separate investigation into the officer involved shooting by asking the Virginia State Police to assume responsibility for it. Should the federal government decide to become involved in the investigation, the City will cooperate fully. In the meantime, we encourage anyone with information in this case to contact the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation at (757) 424-6800 or by email at [email protected]. Anonymous tips are welcome. We are restricted in our ability to provide information while the Virginia State Police investigation into the officer involved shooting is under way, however, we can clarify the circumstances regarding the movement of Mr. Lynch after the shooting occurred. In order to render aid to Mr. Lynch in a safer area, Virginia Beach firefighters and police officers carried Mr. Lynch about half a block east on 20th Street between Atlantic and Pacific avenues. Ms. Harris was found at the corner of Pacific Ave. and 19th Street and first responders rendered aid to her in that location. At no time were Mr. Lynch or Ms. Harris moved to be proximate to each other. EMS and Fire crews followed guidelines for responding to active shooter and multiple casualty incidents. In those cases, patients are rapidly removed by rescue teams to secured areas where more effective treatment can be safely provided. Mr. Lynch was moved a short distance away where additional medical personnel and lighting were available. Mr. Lynch was determined to be deceased at the scene by EMS and Fire personnel shortly after he was moved. At the time of the incident, EMS and Fire crews were responding to multiple reports of injured persons at different locations in the area. Eight patients were ultimately transported to the hospital.” Virginia Beach City Manager Patrick Duhaney Related: Pharrell says man fatally shot by Virginia Beach officer at Oceanfront was family; Mourns loss in heartfelt message on social media window.fbAsyncInit = function() FB.init( appId : '2505829969453421', xfbml : true, version : 'v2.9' ); ; (function(d, s, id) var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; js.async = true; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Source link Orbem News #attorney #body #claims #Crime #Donovon #donovonlynch #eyewitnesses #Family #guncontrol #involved #Lynchs #moved #Oceanfront #oceanfrontshooting #Officer #officerinvolvedshooting #shooting #VirginiaBeachPolice

Reposted from @blm757 #Protest at the #VirginiaBeach Oceanfront TONIGHT - 7:57 pm Today marks the 100th day of the police-involved murder of #DonovonLynch and the "unsolved" murder of #DeshaylaHarris - The Virginia Beach Department has been all but radio silent for an entire 100 days. They never named the officer who murdered #DonovonLynch - They informed Deshayla's mother that her daughter had been murdered via #FaceTime call - The Virginia Beach Police Department left this King & Queen outside in a parking lot overnight while their parents frantically tried to locate them at the hospitals to no avail. We still don't have justice for #DemarioJoyner #IndiaKager #ColemanSample #ChampTurner and many more victims of injustice and police brutality in Virginia Beach. DM for the meet-up location. Bring a battle buddy. Follow @BLM757 on Instagram and Twitter for up-to-the-minute updates. #BLM757 #BlackLivesMatter757 #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #NoJusticeNoPeace #4thOfJuly #independenceday (at Virginia Beach Oceanfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6oalvBxkF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here ye MF here ye. The MF Virginia Beach police department is conducting stop-and-frisk. They got away with beating college students at #Greekfest, shot 17 year old #DemarioJoyner in the back of the head, murdered NAVY veteran #IndiaKager, falsely imprisoned #MatthewRushin & #ChampTurner, #ColemanSample was murdered in Virginia Beach via Virginia State Police, peaceful protesters were arrested all 2020, they murdered #DonovonLynch & possibly #DeShaylaHarris. The #BlackLivesMatter organization doesn't care about you. @blklivesmatter The #NAACP doesn't care about you @naacp Your lord and Savior @Jolly_Red_Ginger doesn't care about you. Your beloved @blmlosangeles doesn't care about you. Algorithm activist such as @tamikadmallory @untilfreedom @attorneycrump @leemerrittesq @Shaunking & whoever else you look up to, dont care about you. #BLM757 Actually cares about you. 6 years strong. Some RESPECT on our name would be appreciated, but it's not required. You know the drill. #ActivistAF #BlackLivesMatter757 (at Virginia Beach Oceanfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxLp9Bv_Lo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

via @BLM757 - Shanita Eure-Lewis is still missing from Newport News. People have been told by law enforcement "not to search" - @wavynews10 has put out false information, and refuse to correct it. 4-year-old #CodiBigsby is still missing from Hampton - We were told to wait to search, then they only allowed 50 people to search, then ended the search after just 5 days. @13newsnow @wtkr3 @wavynews10 discredit our search efforts, and refuse to mention our name, even though we are the only organization searching now. Won't acknowledge the #CodiAlert petition. Chole & Keir are still missing from Hampton. For over 5 years now 💔 They really just don't care about missing BLACK people in the 757. Noah was found quickly. Every resource available was used. He wasn't black. Please help. Where is the #JusticeForThe757 ? How come the @acluva @naacp @blmlosangeles @blmgrassroots @jolly_good_ginger @tamikadmallory unitedwewalk_612 @untilfreedom @attorneycrump @leemerrittesq @naacp @real_sharpton never come to check on us? Are we not worthy? Is our trauma, not trauma? Are our stories not big enough for the algorithm? #Greekfest #DemarioJoyner #IndiaKager #ColemanSample #DonovonLynch #DeShaylaHarris.... Do their lives not matter?.. Can we really talk about this? 💔 #BLM757 @erikaalexanderthegreat Please help us 🙏🏾 #BLM757News https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgk3rBUMuzD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#ProtestSaturday Chemical warfare... These pictures weren't taken in #Ukraine or #Iraq or #Afghanistan These pictures were taken when Virginia Beach police department decided to deploy a flash bang grenade, and tear gas on peaceful protesters. There were children, and tourist around. We never got answers, never got a FOIA. All because we stepped for #GeorgeFloyd & #BreonnaTaylor along with the many injustices that go cold in the 757. The footage that emerged today from our beloved @blmrva really got us going now. Where is the justice in the 757 for peaceful protesters? How come the @acluva @naacp @blmlosangeles @blmgrassroots @jolly_good_ginger @tamikadmallory @unitedwewalk_612 @untilfreedom never came to check on us? Are we not worthy? Is our trauma, not trauma? #Greekfest #DemarioJoyner #IndiaKager #ColemanSample #DonovonLynch #DeShaylaHarris.... Do their lives not matter?.. Can we really talk about this? 💔 #BLM757 (at Virginia Beach Oceanfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgX2LP9vJyp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
