Michael Brown was an 18 year old African-American young-man visiting his grandmother for the summer when he was repeatedly shot and eventually killed by Officer Darren Wilson. Witnesses claim that the officer initiated contact and, after a struggle in the street, Michael Brown tried to surrender by putting his hands up. This is when Officer Wilson fired multiple shots, one of which hit him in the head, killing him. This incident led to complete and utter chaos in Ferguson, Missouri, where Brown was killed.
