According to a news circulating on Instagram, the man who goes by the name Johnathan Price from Wolfe City, TX was known as a hometown hero. Motivational speaker, trainer, professional athlete and community advocate— he was dearly loved by so many.
Yesterday, October 3rd, Price noticed a man assaulting a woman and he intervened. When police arrived, I’m told, he raised his hands and attempted to explain what was going on. Police fired tasers at him and when his body convulsed from the electrical current, they “perceived a threat” and shot him to death.
Civil Rights Lawyer S. Lee Merritt has spoken to the family and have agreed to do whatever it takes to get justice for JP.
A gofundme account has been opened to support the family and at the time of this report, $46,000 has been raised so far.
