When asked why Gasser was released without charges, Normand mentioned state statutes that allowed the suspect's release while an investigation is underway. Louisiana has a "Stand Your Ground" law, much like Florida's, which states that a person is justified in using deadly force if he "reasonably believes [it] is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave the premises or motor vehicle." 。

In a protest and press conference in New Orleans on Friday, NAACP leaders called for justice. “We are here demanding answers. This has to stop," said Gaylor Spiller, president of the West Jefferson Parish branch of the NAACP. 。

"We think a black man was lynched yesterday," added Morris Reed, president of the New Orleans branch of the NAACP.。McKnight was a high school football legend who entered powerhouse USC in 2007 hyped as "the next Reggie Bush" — a reference to the Trojans running back who won the Heisman Trophy just two years prior. According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, sheriffs said McKnight was not armed at the time he was killed. 。He was 28 years old when he was shot to death Thursday. 。He was 28 years old when he was shot to death Thursday.。Additional reporting by Mashable's Kate Sommers-Dawes and Sam Laird.。
