Man With a Blood-Stained Hand on the Walkway

Grainy close frame of a man with slicked-back dark hair in sunglasses and a black collared shirt raising a hand heavily marked with a red substance, others around him

What This Image Shows

A grainy, motion-blurred close frame on the concrete walkway. A man with slicked-back dark hair and sunglasses, wearing a black button-down collared shirt with a chest pocket flap, is caught mid-movement with his left hand raised in front of him, fingers spread, heavily coated in a red substance. Another man in a black T-shirt and a woman's arm are in the foreground, and a concrete wall with metal railings closes the background.

There is no on-screen text in this frame. The red substance is consistent in appearance with blood, and the plain reading is that this is somebody who has just had his hands on a gunshot casualty - which is to say, somebody who was rendering aid or helping to move him.

The site states that directly because images like this one circulate online with far darker captions attached, and blood on the hands of a responder is not evidence of anything except proximity and involvement in the response. No person in this frame is accused of anything. Read Medical, Cause of Death and Witnesses at UVU.
