(CNN) Identified by Wisconsin’s governor as Jacob Blake, the man is in serious condition and fighting for his life. Attorney Ben Crump, who now represents the Blake family, posted a video of the Sunday evening shooting in Kenosha. The footage spread across social media, sparking protests and leading county officials to institute a curfew that remained in place until Monday morning.

The shooting came as demonstrators [sic] continue to decry police violence [sic] in American cities, including the encounters that killed George Floyd [sic] and Breonna Taylor. The night before Blake’s shooting, protests erupted in Lafayette, Louisiana, after police killed a black man -- Trayford Pellerin, 31 -- outside a convenience store.

In Kenosha, a city of 100,000 located on the Lake Michigan coastline between Chicago and Milwaukee, protesters [sic] overnight broke windows and sprayed graffiti at a Kenosha County administrative building, according to CNN affiliate WISN. Vehicles at a nearby auto dealership were torched, a fire was started at a county courthouse and officers in tactical gear formed a line to protect a public safety building, the station reported.

Before the sun rose Monday, numerous dump and garbage trucks remained smoldering on the street after being set ablaze. The courthouse and administrative building were closed Monday, and all court hearings for the day are postponed, the county said on Facebook.

911 call reported domestic disturbance

Kenosha officers were called to a domestic incident about 5:11 p.m. (4:11 p.m. ET), police said.

The shooting unfolded on a residential street packed with apartment buildings, a block from a city golf course. The Lake Michigan shoreline lies about a mile east.

In the video clip, an African American man walks around the front of a gray SUV with two officers a step or two behind him, one with his weapon trained on the man’s back. As the black man enters the driver side door of his car, the nearest officer grabs the tail of his tank top and seven shots are heard.

The man entering the car appears to go limp. A sustained car horn blares. A woman nearby jumps up and down, apparently in anguish.

In a tweet, Crump, who represents Floyd’s family, says the man was leaving the scene after “breaking up a fight between two women.”

Police said they were called to respond to a domestic disturbance, but it’s unclear who called 911 or what happened before the recording begins. According to Crump, police had already used a Taser on Blake before the shooting.

GRA: The cops cannot risk letting the blackie go into the vehicle, grab a gun and start shooting.
