https://buffalonews.com/news/local/article_cd1dd4ba-a740-44d6-bbb9-d0cd465e7457.htmlMartin Gugino, a peace activist whose violent encounter with Buffalo police in 2020 was seen by millions around the world, died last month in Tampa, Fla., of natural causes. He was 81.
Two Buffalo police officers shoved Gugino in front of City Hall on June 4, 2020, following a protest over the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Then 75, Gugino suffered a fractured skull in the incident, a moment recorded by a reporter on cellphone video that went viral and was quickly seen across the globe.
The moment that came amid the Black Lives Matter protests helped drive attention here to issues of policing.
