James Scurlock, a 22 year old black man, was peacefully protesting in Omaha last night before he was murdered. A GoFundMe has been set up for James’ family.
Jake Gardner, the man who killed James Scurlock and a known white supremacist in the community, will not be charged. Gardner had shot twice at protesters so James Scurlock tackled him, likely to disarm him, before Gardner shot and killed James.

Douglas County, Nebraska County Attorney
Here’s a template for email:
To Whom It May Concern,
On the 30th of May, 2020, at a protest against police brutality in Omaha, Jacob Gardner murdered James Scurlock with an unlawful carry concealed weapon. In addition, Nebraska does NOT have a stand your ground law. At the very least the credibility of Gardner’s statements should be brought in front of a jury. This video has gone viral and is being spread on a variety of social media platforms. These are both clear violations of the law, and Jacob Gardner should be arrested and charged with murder and unlawful possession of a lethal weapon.
btw I called the County Attorney and he (or his secretary) oh so politely hung up in me so I’m calling back and cussing him out
