Sunday night, 22-year-old Stephon Clark was entering his home through the back door and was fatally shot at the hands of the Sacramento Police.  He was unarmed.  The Police mistook a cellphone for a weapon.  Police responded to the area after receiving calls that someone in the neighborhood was breaking car windows, The Sacramento Bee reported.
