Jesse Taggart, a BLM activist, has been arrested and charged with attempted aggravated murder after allegedly shooting a driver at a riot in Provo, Utah.

Taggart, 33, of Salt Lake City, allegedly shot the 60-year-old driver at a BLM riot on Monday evening in Provo. The victim was not involved in the riot at all, but was just driving in the area, according to Sergeant Nisha King of the Provo Police.

A group of rioters began to surround the man’s vehicle, when one man, identified as Taggart, shot one round through his window with a handgun. The driver then sped off trying to flee the situation. Taggart allegedly then shot another round through the back window as the man drove off.

Video footage from witnesses shows the man identified as Taggart then conceal his weapon and continue to protest, proceeding to smash the window of another vehicle later in the evening. The victim was taken to Utah Valley Hospital, and remained hospitalised but stable by Tuesday evening.

The police are still on the look-out for another man who held a firearm near the driver’s side of the window of the car, but did not discharge his weapon.

Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi said on Tuesday night that “peaceful protests are a fundamental right and often can become an important catalyst for positive change,” but that “criminal acts and violence such as we saw last night in Provo were anything but peaceful and are unacceptable.”
