I don't think she's at the little girl's house (Jamyla). That vigil was respectful and over. I think this is the ( #MansurBallBey 8:30pm #STL ) she tweeted but looks like they are on Camfield Dr with all the apartments around (at MB memorial).
eta: I just read this so they may be there .. kinda late.
The home where Jamyla was killed is not far from the stretch of Canfield Drive where Michael Brown was fatally shot by police last year.

They are still chanting Fuck the police... so I guess they dont want them to look for Jamyla's killer... they probably know who that is but "Snitches get stitches"

Controversy Erupts After Initial Autopsy Shows St. Louis Man Shot In Back By Police…. Posted on August 21, 2015 by sundance
The shooting happened on Wednesday, and Saint Louis was yet again the scene of retaliatory violence by the community toward police. On cue today CNN is stoking the issue, with their pontifications about an initial autopsy showing the bullet that killed Ball-Bey traveled from back to front, right to left.
Despite the CNN pitch, this does not seem to indicate much of anything. If you were standing 20 feet away from someone and they shot toward you, your natural untrained instinct would be to you to turn your shoulder and slightly duck. If you were simultaneously holding a firearm in your right hand, this type of movement would account for an entry wound to your upper right shoulder (back) traveling toward your left.
Ironically Mansur Ball-Bey did a video (screen grab above) depicting thug life and featuring the exact type of weapon used shortly before his death. His ‘thug life’ social media is HERE
ST. LOUIS • An autopsy on Mansur Ball-Bey, whose death from police gunfire this week stirred protests, showed that he died from a single wound in the back, police officials said.
Chief Sam Dotson said the wound’s location neither proves nor disproves the contention of officers at the scene that Ball-Bey refused to drop a gun and pointed it at them before being shot Wednesday.
An investigation of the particulars continues, Dotson said.
“Just because he was shot in the back doesn’t mean he was running away,” Dotson said. “It could be, and I’m not saying that it doesn’t mean that. I just don’t know yet.
“What I do know is that two officers were involved and fired shots, but I don’t know exactly where they were standing yet and I won’t know until I get their statements.”
The officers fired a total of four shots; one officer fired three times and the second officer fired once, police said.
Police sources tell the Post-Dispatch that investigators found fingerprints and DNA on the gun police say Ball-Bey pointed at them, but the results are not yet available. Sources also say a witness has come forward who heard the officers’ shots, then saw Ball-Bey throw his weapon before running through a gangway and collapsing in the front yard.
Killings by St. Louis police are reviewed by a Force Investigation Unit and separately by Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce’s office.

Interesting, instead of quoting a bleating academic (or POTUS) about how awful the police are to have shot an unarmed youth whowasturninghislifearound in the back, the ST. Louis Dispatch actually quoted a academic criminologist who had a rational response.
David Klinger, a University of Missouri-St. Louis criminologist who has studied hundreds of officer-involved shootings, said, “The issue isn’t where the round hits, it’s what the perceived threat was at the time the officer fired.”
He added, “If it was reasonable for these officers to believe he was a threat, then shots in the back mean nothing. If it’s unreasonable, then he shouldn’t have been shot, but we don’t know without knowing all the information.”
Klinger said the Supreme Court has ruled it constitutional for police to shoot someone in the back if they believe that person could be a threat.
“If he takes off running after pointing a gun at them, then that is someone a reasonable officer could believe will be a continuing threat,” he said.
Things that make you go hmmm…

Meh. Since Klinger is white, the BLM spinmasters will just claim that’s he’s part of a conspiracy to justify the slaughter of young black men. They won’t even bother to consider the finer points of the law (that Klinger brings to bear) or the eyewitness report that said the kid ditched his gun after the cops shot him.

Folks are speculating that STLPD Officer Jason Flannery is who shot Mansur Ball-Bey, after Chief Dodson would not confirm/deny it was Flannery at the press conference this morning.
Officer Flannery does have a very distinct tattoo.
eta: Chris King@chriskingstl 2hrs Just spoke to Chief Dotson. Jason Flanery was not a shooter at Page & Walton. He did work the protest afterwards.
