A Black Lives Matter demonstrator has been shot dead outside a bar in Omaha, Nebraska following a night of protests on Saturday.

Footage circulating on social media shows James Scurlock, 22 – who is black – being gunned down by a man – who is white – outside the Hive Bar.

In the video, a man in a gray shirt appears to be speaking with the victim, who is in a dark shirt and jeans.

The person recording the video is heard yelling that he has a gun and says ‘it’s not worth it’.

Seconds later two loud gunshots are heard and the videographer quickly ducks for cover.

Scurlock was shot twice in the neck.

Scurlock’s father called for justice as the city braced for another night of chaos.

“Last night I lost a son, my wife lost a son, my kids lost a brother,” the grieving dad, who has the same name, told reporters at the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation Visitors Center today.

“His daughter lost a father. All because he decided to protest against racism. There’s a lot of speculation and rumors about how this happened. I don’t really care to be honest. My family wants closure and peace.

“What we want is for this to go to court and get a full prosecution. We want this to go with justice and go peacefully,” he added.

Witnesses claim the shooter ‘taunted’ protesters and went out to the sidewalk yelling ‘n****r lover’.

From the video, it’s unclear what happened before the shots were fired but witnesses claim Scurlock – who was with his brother – jumped on the shooter’s back to stop him from using his weapon.

Police confirmed they had a suspect in custody, and he has been identified as Jake Gardner, owner of two bars—The Hive and The Gatsby.

In previous media stories, Gardner has described himself as a libertarian, a former Marine who was deployed to Iraq and Haiti, and a volunteer for the Trump campaign in 2016.

Even before the shooting, Gardner and his bars had been a source of controversy.

In 2016, he caused a furor when he wrote on Facebook that transgender women should have had their “appendage” removed if they want to use female bathrooms.

The Hive had been the target of several complaints on social media that it discriminated against black patrons, with one person tweeting that Gardner personally refused entry to her black husband while letting her white brother go in.

Last year, the State Liquor Authority issued a warning to Gardner for failing to cooperate with police who were investigating a possible assault on site.

In 2016, while in Washington the attend President Trump’s inauguration, he was interviewed about his views on the Women’s March underway.

“Everyone has a right to speak their mind,” he said, wearing a Trump sweatshirt, with his dog Bron in a MAGA vest.

“Everyone loves the dog until they see the vest,” he said.

He posted a photo in 2017 of himself and Bron posing with Donald Trump Jr. with the caption: “Here’s a guy who returns my emails 100 percent of the time, every time. #FAKENEWS #BRONANDDON.”

Omaha, like dozens of cities across the U.S., saw protests over the in-custody death of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis descend into chaos—with some in the crowds hurling projectiles and breaking windows and police firing tear gas.

The mayor declared a state of state emergency that begins at 8 p.m. Sunday and will last for 72 hours, and the National Guard was called in to embed with the Omaha police department.
