The wife of Keith Scott—the Charlotte man whose officer-involved shooting death triggered protests and riots across the city last week—filed a restraining order against her husband in October 2015, according to local media reports.
“He hit my 8-year-old in the head a total of three times with his fist,” and “he kicked me and threaten(ed) to kill us last night with his gun,” reads the restraining order from Rakeyia Scott, according to local station WCNC. “He said he is a killer and we should know that.”
When the restraining order form asked if law enforcement should consider Keith Scott a threat, Rakeyia Scott marked “yes,” adding that he carries a “9mm black,” likely making reference to a gun.
