Obbie Shepard, 21, died on Aug. 26, 2011.  He died five years before Tyre King and Henry Green were killed by Columbus police, three years before the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and six months before the killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida, a case that would go on to inspire the Black Lives Matter movement. At the time Shepard died, Columbus police did not wear body cameras. No bystander video ever surfaced and went viral. There was a brief public outcry in the South Side neighborhood where he died, but nothing close to the sustained protests that flared in Ferguson in 2014 or rippled across the U.S. after Floyd s death last May.
