But his body was found around 6:00 a.m. Tuesday by a passerby, Davion Gatlin, who took and posted pictures to Facebook photos the Black Lives Matter activists used to insinuate that police had brutally murdered a black man.

This is just a few blocks from where my auntie live I was just at this damn park two nights ago! This so damn foul!! Im so fed up with this s***! They still killing us and we still killing each other!#MakeGoViral, Gatlincaptioned the photos.

A Black Lives Matter St. Paul Facebook page posted a statement Tuesday that a black man had been lynched, the MinneapolisStar Tribunereports.

St. Paul Police Sgt. Mike Ernster called the post disgusting, and hours later Black Lives Matter Minneapolis had issued an apology to Mr.Bringles family.

As more information came out & Mr.Bringles family came forward it became clear that this was an unfortunate incident caused by mental illness, the group wrote. We are sorry if our post offended anyone & hope that folks see we were simply echoing the questions and concerns that community members had.

Mr.Bringles sister said it was devastating to learn the news of her brothers death from Facebook.

To me, hearing about it on Facebook was so devastating, Bringles sister, Kelly Brown-Rozowski, told theMinneapolis Star Tribune. This isnt something to be shared in such a tragic way; he should be remembered for what a great man he was.
