Imagine killing a baby because you assumed the mother stole a pack of diapers, only to learn she paid for them. How do you justify that level of anti-Blackness? This is what happens when suspicion is weaponized against Black people.
In 2019, a 22-year-old father-to-be used his body to shield his pregnant girlfriend from gunfire, sacrificing his own life to protect her and her baby that he would never get the chance to hold.
On May 3, 2019, Jose Rodriguez-Castro and his girlfriend Lexi Rivera were sitting at a red light in Milwaukee when a car pulled up alongside them. The driver opened fire with a semiautomatic pistol.
"He just looked at me and covered me," Rivera told reporters. "That's it. Just said 'babe' and threw himself over me."
Jose bore the full force of the gunfire, sustaining multiple direct hits as 21 rounds were fired at the couple from point blank range.
He was found slumped over the wheel with a faint pulse. He passed at the scene. Lexi survived with a minor injury from shattered glass.
The sh*oter was Victor Cintron Jr., Lexi's violent ex-boyfriend who had been charged with repeatedly assaulting and threatening her in the weeks before the attack.
He was tracked down in California by US Marshals and convicted of first-degree intentional hom*cide. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 50 years.
