This is the second time in less than two years that a young black man with some connection with the Ferguson uprising has been found dead inside of a car after being shot and set on fire.

In November 2014, during the protests that followed a grand jury's refusal to indict Wilson in Brown's shooting death, DeAndre Joshua, 20, was found shot once in the head inside of a burning car. Bloodied glass was discovered on the ground beside his white Pontiac Grand Prix right next to Canfield Green Apartments where Michael Brown Jr. was slain.

The violent murder of Ferguson Uprising protester Darren Seals, who was found shot and burned in a charred car Tuesday near the US city of St Louis, has raised "a lot of red flags" for activists, who question the official version of events released by his "enemies," the police.

Many believe it was a targeted attack.

As leading anti-racism campaigner Tariq Nasheed pointed out, a tweet posted by Seals in late July raised "a lot of red flags."
Seals had said he was pulled over by 10 armed detectives pointing their guns at him and his teenage brother, telling him,"choose your enemies wisely."

Local St Louis activist Heather De Mian said she was disturbed by finding various pieces of debris and what appeared to be shell casings left behind by police investigators from the vehicle where Seals had been found.

"The memorial is constructed on top of his car door, which the police just left there," De Mian said, the Washington Post reports. "You would think the car door would be important evidence, that there might be fingerprints, you know. The police just left it there."

Another Twitter user also confirmed De Mian's account and showed images of bullet casings allegedly littered around the crime scene.

What is notable about the killing is that Seals is not the only Ferguson man to have been shot and set alight in a car.

The latest incident makes him the sixth person to be found in such circumstances. In the case of DeAndre Joshua, who was also shot dead before his killer or killers set his car on fire on the November 2014 night of the grand jury decided not to charge Darren Wilson for Michael Brown's death, speculation continues over the murder.
