At 12.14am, David "Yaya" McAtee was tending to the grill at his BBQ joint in Louisville.

At 12.16am, he was dead - killed in a hail of 18 bullets fired by city police and KY National Guard.

Our team @NBC_VC investigated those two dark + violent minutes.

[NBC News VC @NBC_VC]

David McAtee was a pillar of his community. His BBQ joint was a fixture in Louisville.

What led to his death at the hands of Louisville police officers and Kentucky National Guard troops?

@NBC_VC’s investigation pieces together video and audio to show a complicated story.

Where did #Covid19 come from? One theory claims it originated at China’s first biosafety level 4 lab, the #Wuhan Institute of Virology.

We @nbc_vc obtained a private intel report which suggests a lab shut down bet 14 & 19 Oct 2019.

Was there an accident or not?

[NBC News VC @NBC_VC]

A private intel report obtained by @NBC_VC suggests the Wuhan Institute of Virology was shut down between Oct. 14 and 19, 2019.

The report, based on cell phone data, was shared between intel agencies, but the data may be misleading. Here’s why. https://t.co/xLfsFLZnyq
