An anti-gun activist in Colorado is now behind bars after allegedly killing a man to avenge the shooting death of his son.

Lumumba Sayers Jr., 23, worked with his father in various prominent ways. They were both mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters who provided community outreach to end the scourge of youth violence.

On Aug. 19, 2023, the young fighter known in the ring as “Heavy Hands” was shot and killed in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood along with a friend. Two other victims were wounded in that incident.

On Aug. 10 of this year, Lumumba Sayers Sr., 46, allegedly shot and killed a friend of the man police once believed was the prime suspect in — and even once arrested for — the Five Points massacre. He now stands accused of murder in the first degree and felony menacing.
