(16,616 posts)2. I remember this one like it was yesterday:
The previous year, King made headlines when he misidentified the killer of Jazmine Barnesa 7-year-old black girl murdered in what initially appeared to be a racist drive-by shootingin a tweet that went viral. While King eventually erased the message, the mans family told a news outlet that violent threats poured in even after two different suspects were arrested. The man King wrongly identified reportedly committed suicide in his cell several months later, after he had been jailed on unrelated charges. As of this writing, King has not publicly apologized for or retracted his claim about the killers identity.
If you were following that homicide case, Shaun King was the twitter account you followed.
