Right Journalism The chief medical examiner in Washington, D.C., confirmed on Wednesday the causes and manners of death of four people who died during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Two of the four deaths were ruled natural, one an accident and the fourth a homicide, WTOP reported.
Ashli Babbitt is the person that was murdered.

“The District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Wednesday released the official cause of death for four people who died during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, ruling that protester Ashli Babbitt’s manner of death was a homicide.”
“Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Francisco J. Diaz said the cause of death for Babbitt, 35, was a gunshot wound to the left anterior shoulder,” the report continued. “Her manner of death was ruled homicide, his office said.”
“Authorities previously said Babbitt was shot by a police officer as she allegedly attempted to climb through a door window inside the Capitol building,” the report went on. “The name of the officer has not been disclosed by local or federal authorities.”
This made Babbit main news amongst Trump supporters and speculation started again about Babbit’s shooter.
An internet sleuth made allegations that he has a picture of the shooter image below:

This is just an allegation but the bracelet of beads on the person’s hand is the same a the man that shoots the decorated Airforce veteran Babbit.

Now our team took a screenshot from the Antifa-supporting activist named John Sullivan who took the video when Babbit was shot:
Watch the moment in the video below:
From the video and the screenshot, we can’t confirm if this is the same person, what we can confirm is that the bracelet is very similar or almost the same. Still, a mystery remains why the identity of the shooter wasn’t revealed?
Most of the circumstances that led to his actions are still unclear. But video footage filmed by rioters shows the lieutenant, after taking up a defensive position in a doorway, carefully aiming and shooting Babbitt as she tries to climb through a smashed window beside a barricaded double door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby, part of a pro-Trump mob of protesters. Babbitt, 35, had no weapon. She died later at a hospital. The decorated Air Force veteran, who had traveled from San Diego, was wearing a Trump flag as a cape when she was shot.
Dressed in a dark suit and white shirt with cufflinks, along with a beaded bracelet on his right shooting hand, the Capitol Police officer fired at her from the side of the barricade, where he had been hidden from view in a doorway. At least from what can be seen and heard from the video, he appears to issue no commands to stop nor any verbal warning that he would shoot.
RealClearInvestigations has put together a portrait of the actual shooter.
“The officer who opened fire on Babbitt holds the rank of lieutenant and is a longtime veteran of the force who worked protective detail in the Speaker’s Lobby, a highly restricted area behind the House chamber, sources say. An African-American, he was put on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation led by the Metropolitan Police of the District of Columbia, which shares jurisdiction with the Capitol Police. The Justice Department is also involved in the inquiry.”
There was fake news that the person who shot Babbitt was the special agent David Bailey, but that information was disputed as fake by the Capitol police in their official statement:
Months after Babbitt succumbed to a single gunshot wound to the upper chest, authorities are keeping secret the identity of the officer who fired the fatal round,” Real Clear Investigations’ Paul Sperry noted. “They won’t release his name, and the major news media aren’t clamoring for it, in stark contrast to other high-profile police shootings of unarmed civilians.”
“The secrecy has fueled Internet reports misidentifying the shooter as a Capitol Police special agent previously commended by President Trump for bravery,” Sperry reported. “The false rumors have triggered threats against the officer.”
Some alleged that the privileged act would give him immunity.
Should the police officer who shot Babbit answer for his actions?
