Mark Duggan's death sparked London's most violent riots in 2011

According to The Sun, 29-year-old Mark Duggan was fatally shot in the chest by the police in a sting operation named Operation Dibri on August 4, 2011. The police officer who shot him told the inquest that Duggan was allegedly holding a gun, causing the officer to pull his trigger.

But forensic evidence proved that Duggan had no weapon on him at the time of his death, and a gun was later found 14 feet away from the site of the shooting, wrapped in a sock.

As per The Guardian, the incident took place as Duggan was traveling via cab from Leyton, east London, to Tottenham, after collecting a BBM Bruni model 92 handgun with one bullet in it. Police were following Duggan's cab, believing him to be a part of the Tottenham Mandem gang, and fired at him as he tried to run away.

According to The Guardian, an inquest held between September 2013 and January 2014 found Duggan's death to be a "lawful killing." This killing spurred a wave of violent riots that lasted four days, from August 6 to August 11, 2011.
