Gavin Long was a former Marine sergeant who legally changed his name to Cosmo Setepenra. He considered himself a Freedom Strategist, Author and Spiritual Advisor.
He posted videos on YouTube in which he claimed that protesting doesn’t work and that force is needed to make changes. "100% have been successful through fighting back. Through bloodshed. Zero have been successful just over simply protesting. It has never worked, and it never will."
In an earlier video he said," I just wanted to let y'all know, don't affiliate me with nothing. I thought my own stuff; I made my own decisions; I'm the one who gotta listen to the judgment."
He went on to list a number of organizations he may have been affiliated with including the Nation of Islam and terror groups like ISIS.
The shooting began Sunday when police received a call of a "suspicious person walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle," a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN.
When police arrived, they were ambushed. Long was wielding an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle, law enforcement sources told CNN.
"There was no talking, just shooting," Baton Rouge Police Cpl. L.J. McKneely said.
Police officers who responded to Sunday's shootings killed Long in a minutes-long gunbattle.
"He wasn't robbing a bank," an official told CNN. "He was armed to shoot it out with police."
