What happened
Two-time bodybuilding champion and coach shot and killed at a protest. Had posted on Instagram hours before his death: 'I just want my rights. A voice that has been silenced in me for over 40 years must scream. You took away our youth, hopes, dreams... I am here so that tomorrow I won't look at myself in the mirror and say that I had no vein, no honour ... I will pay anything for it.' Managed two charity organizations.
