Tywanza Sanders, 26, died while reportedly trying to save a family member during the Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston. He also posted an image of the front page of a local newspaper after Walter Scott was killed by a police officer.
Tywanza Sanders was the youngest of nine victims of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church shooting on June 17.
On March 27, Sanders posted to Instagram a photo of himself clad in a black shirt that reads "I Can't Breathe," a phrase borne out of the death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man from Staten Island who died from a police chokehold.
Sanders also appeared to have been following the story of Walter Scott, a black man from North Charleston, South Carolina, who was fatally shot in the back while running away from a white police officer.
Sanders took a photo of the front page of the local paper, the Post and Courier, the day after Scott was killed.
Sanders participated in the #BlackLivesMatter movement on social media, often posting relevant images to bring attention to the number of unarmed black people gunned down by police.
Sanders posted this photo on Instagram about 10 weeks ago.
