* On July 5, 202 while hundreds of people gathered in downtown Bloomington to protest an assault on Vauhxx Booker that occurred on July 4. As protesters were crossing the street last night around 9:30, the driver of a red Toyota Camry appeared to get impatient with the crowd and hit the gas to potentially injure protesters. To date Bloomington police are looking for the driver and the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run.

This Press Conference will be broadcast on over 50 national social media sites.

The objective of this event is also to highlight and combat the negative incident and those who want to attack others in the community.
