From Bearing Arms: "Anti-Gun Activist Convicted of Murder in Colorado Shooting." Per the article, Lumumba Sayers Sr. belonged to an anti-violence group called Heavy Hands, Heavy Hearts that teaches kids and adults how to break the cycle of street and gang violence. On August 10, 2024, Sayers left an anti-violence event and drove to a park where Malcolm Watson was celebrating his son's birthday with family and friends and shot Watson dead. Sayers believed that Watson was responsible for the shooting death of Sayer's son and was there to get revenge. When Sayers confronted Watson, he was armed with an unregistered handgun which, he told jurors, he carried in his pocket for protection despite not having a concealed carry permit. Prosecutors argued that he also had another handgun described by prosecutors as a "ghost" gun which he used to shoot and kill Watson and then, as shown in surveillance video, was passed off to an unidentified associate who took it from the scene.
