Awake Goy “Let the record show that I pissed on the state house before I left,” MarShawn McCarrell posted on Facebook Monday, before taking his life on the steps of Ohio’s Statehouse Monday.
The anti-police brutality activist was well known for his activism, protesting against police violence and killings – particularly of those unarmed victims in the state of Ohio.
McCarrel, 23, shot himself in what was was a deliberate location, chosen apparently to make a final statement, even as he tragically took his own life in front of the Columbus building Monday evening.
Lt. Craig Cvetan of the State Highway Patrol told the Columbus Dispatch, that no one witnessed the shooting and that McCarrel was pronounced dead at the scene.
“My demons won today. I’m sorry,” McCarrel posted on his Facebook page about 3 p.m., just before his body was found in front of the Statehouse.
In addition to his anti-police brutality activism, McCarrel, also founded youth mentorship program Pursuing Our Dreams, which helped launch Feed the Streets, to help Ohio’s homeless population.
He was named one of Radio One’s Hometown Champions, as a community activist and volunteer, earlier this year.
He went to the ceremony just last Friday, taking his mother with him.
“He is selfless and will give his last in order to make sure others don’t go without,” the nomination for the Hometown Champions Award read. “MarShawn has come so far in life and has inspired so many people to help others”
“All everyone needs is love,” he said to the publication 614 Columbus in 2014, referring to his work with the Feed the Streets. “That’s a human being. That’s a pulse. We’re feeding everyone, we’re sending the message — today I got you; tomorrow, I could be right there.”
