Where’s the Concern for the Dead Protester?

Does it bother anyone else that there seems to be little or no concern for the Protester who was killed by a gunshot wound to the head at the recent riots in Charlotte, NC? The apathy towards this incident and the victim on the part of the Media, the police, and the other protesters is appalling to me. They all appear to be looking at his murder as acceptable collateral damage of the protests. Meanwhile, the protesters continued to demonstrate against the shooting of Keith Scott by the police. Why aren’t any of them protesting against the shooting of that innocent victim? The media seems to lack any desire to follow up on the story of the murdered protester. They didn’t even announce his name - Justin Carr - until almost two days after he died. The police didn’t seem to be interested in finding the perpetrator at first, although they have since apprehended a suspect. The victim’s family hasn’t come forward to say anything to the media. Compare that to Mr. Scott's family, which has been speaking to the media almost daily since the day he was shot. Did Mr. Carr's life not mean anything to anyone? I find the situation extremely disturbing.
