Caption: Vigil Held for Victims of Racially-Motivated Jacksonville Dollar General Shooting. On August 27, a crowd of about 200 people gathered in Florida at a vigil held for three victims who were shot and killed in Jacksonville. The August 26 shooting occurred at a Dollar General store, where 21-year-old gunman Ryan Christopher Palmeter opened fire, killing three people before taking his own life. All three victims of the shooting were Black, according to Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters. "This shooting, based on the manifesto they discovered from the scumbag that did this, was racially motivated." "He was targeting people based on their race. That is totally unacceptable.", Ron DeSantis, Florida Governor, via 'The Hill'. 'The Hill' reports that the victims were identified as 52-year-old Angela Michelle Carr, 19-year-old Anolt Joseph Laguerre and 29-year-old Jerrald Gallion. According to Bishop John Guns, Gallion was a member of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Jacksonville. "In two weeks I have to preach a funeral of a man who should still be alive. He was not a gangster, he was not a thug — he was a father who gave his life to Jesus and was trying to get it together." "I wept in church today likea baby because my heart is tired. We are exhausted.", Bishop John Guns, via 'The Hill'. On August 27, the Justice Department said that it will investigate the shooting as a hate crime and an incident of “racially-motivated violent extremism”.
