One of the two protesters fatally shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday night by Kyle Rittenhouse, 17 from Illinois was filmed taunting a group of armed individuals moments before he was killed.
‘Shoot me, n*****,’ 36-year-old Kenosha resident Joseph Rosenbaum is heard saying in the video in which he is seen confronting several armed men during the unrest that followed last Sunday’s police shooting of 29-year-old black man Jacob Blake.

The medical examiner found that Rosenbaum was shot in the groin, back and left hand.
