UPDATE: Black Lives Matter Louisville reportedly posted $100,000 bail for Quintez Brown, a BLM and anti-gun activist, with money from the from the Louisville Community Bail Fund, a donor-driven effort.
A gun control activist and Black Lives Matter radical was arrested on Monday in the targeted shooting of Louisville, Kentucky mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg.
Quintez Brown was charged with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment, after firing his gun inside Greenberg’s campaign office.
Greenberg, who is a Democrat, and Jewish, said he and four campaign staffers were in a morning meeting in Butchertown when Brown walked in and opened fire.
“When we greeted him, he pulled out a gun, aimed directly at me and began shooting,” Greenberg said at a news conference.
The candidate was left unharmed but shaken, according to the New York Times, “and with a bullet hole in the back of his sweater.”
The suspect allegedly used a 9mm Glock handgun in the shooting, Fox News reported.
He then fled the building. About 10 minutes later, officers located a man matching the suspect description less than a half-mile away. He was found carrying a loaded 9mm magazine in his pants pocket and was taken into custody, the arrest report says.
The incident was reportedly captured on surveillance video.
Following the shooting, Greenberg tweeted “my team and I are fortunately all safe…I will provide an update as soon as possible.”
The 21-year old suspect appeared to be a rising star in left-wing media circles.
In 2018, the alleged gunman sat down with MSNBC host Joy Reid in the nation’s capital for a segment promoting the students who participated in the anti-gun “March For Our Lives” protests in Washington, D.C. Brown was then the 17-year-old president of the Black Student Union at duPont Manual High School in Louisville.
Addressing Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, who was the Senate majority leader at the time, Brown said students want Congress to act on guns, “and if you’re not going to give us that, then we’re going to get everyone out here to vote, and we’re going to vote you out of office.”
“Get rid of assault rifles,” Brown said.
Brown was reportedly selected to meet former President Obama when he was a freshman in college.
As a freshman political science major at University of Louisville, Brown was one of 22 students in the country invited to the inaugural national gathering of the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance that supports boys and young men of color. He traveled to Oakland, California, and was quoted as saying he had the opportunity to shake hands with Obama himself during a two-day workshop.
