Lady Gaga voiced her support for the Black Lives Matter movement after police in Chicago shot and killed an 18-year-old black man.
“Paul O’Neal,” she wrote on Sunday. “How many children must we lose b4 our justice system does something? #BlackLivesMatter.” (RELATED: Kim Kardashian Has Decided To Weigh In On Black Lives Matter)

In July, O’Neal stole a Jaguar, crashed it into a squad car and then fled the scene. Officers chased after him and fired more than a dozen rounds before killing him.
There is no footage of the actual shooting because police said the body camera the officers were wearing didn’t capture it.
O’Neal’s family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against three of the officers last Friday.
In June, Gaga also said she supported the group.
“I pray for the black community who suffer fear of prejudice, violence & injustice,” she tweeted. “We need lawfulness, fairness, unity.” (RELATED: Caitlyn Jenner Doesn’t Want To Talk About Black Lives Matter)
