Kris Smith Becomes Second Breonna Taylor Protest Leader to Be Killed in Under a Month
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Louisville, Kentucky, another prominent figure in the protests
demanding justice for Breonna Taylor was shot dead. Forty-two-year-old
business owner and activist Kris Smith was killed Friday, just weeks
after 21-year-old Hamza "Travis" Nagdy was fatally shot. Like Nagdy,
Kris Smith was inside a car at the time of the shooting. Loved ones and
community members held a vigil for Kris Smith on Saturday.
