On March 12, 2020, Duncan Socrates Lemp was fatally shot at his home in Potomac, Maryland during a no-knock search by the Montgomery County Police Department's SWAT team. The police believed Lemp possessed firearms illegally, which were recovered at the scene.[1]
Police have said that Lemp was shot after confronting an officer during the execution of the raid.[2] Lemp's family have said through their attorney that, based on an eyewitness, they believe Lemp was shot without warning while he was asleep.[3][4] Lemp has since been described as a "martyr" for the boogaloo movement, some adherents to which believe Lemp was murdered by police because of his alleged involvement with the movement and his anti-government beliefs.[5][6]
