The Lafayette Three
Racial Injustice in Walker County, Georgia
On October 5, 2019 Matthew Asbeury, Kameron Shropshire, Quintavious Knox and Larell Hampton met a man near the old LaFayette High School football field to purchase marijuana. When the man took their money and attempted to drive away a fight broke out. No one had serious injuries. Despite this minor incident, the #LaFayetteThree are each facing seven to nine felony charges. The drug dealer said the boys had a gun. However, no gun was ever found or recovered. Despite the lack of evidence and inconsistent stories the drug dealer and his girlfriend told, the boys have been offered plea deals that would require each of them to serve at least a decade in prison.
