Al Sharpton is making another trip to west Memphis Arkansas this weekend to attend a ceremony for the 12 year old boy shot and killed by a West Memphis Police officer. Sharpton first came to town for the funeral of Deaunta Farrow in July. Farrow was shot and killed in June at an apartment complex in West Memphis. Two West Memphis police officers were undercover in the area due to a high number of burglaries. Farrow was with his cousin, police say he was carrying what looked like a real gun. West Memphis Police officer Erik Sammis says he asked the child to drop the gun, when he didn’t he fired the shot that killed Farrow. It turned out the gun the 12 year old had was fake. The incident is being investigated by the FBI, Arkansas State Police and 2 special prosecutors. Farrow’s mother has filed a multi-million dollar wrongful death lawsuit. Sharpton will be in West Memphis Saturday for the re-naming of a street in honor of the young boy. Sunday, he’ll preach at the New Salem Baptist Church in east Memphis.
