Keith Lamont Scott Threatened His Wife With A Gun Last Year


Rakeyia Scott’s cry to CMPD officers that her husband, Keith Lamont Scott, did not own a gun—even as he brandished a gun in front of them—now appears to be a calculated lie, according to Rakeyia Scott.

On Oct. 5, a Gaston County District Court judge granted his wife a temporary restraining order. The court order told Scott not to go near his wife, three of their children and the children’s schools.

He was not allowed near their Gastonia apartment they’d called home since April 2014, according to court documents. He was told to turn over a black 9mm handgun he owned illegally.

Eleven days later, Rakeyia Scott voluntarily dismissed the order against her husband, writing, “He is no longer a threat to me and my family.”


But three days before she got the order, Keith Scott had kicked her, punched their 8-year-old in the head three times and threatened to kill her with the gun, she had written.

“He said he is a ‘killer’ and we should know that,” she wrote.


She said the man she’d been married to since she was 18 did not have a gun permit and was a felon, having been incarcerated from April 2004 to April 2011.

She checked a box saying her husband had threatened her with the gun before.

The Scott family is now trying to claim that the head injuries suffered by Scott left him a changed man, and yet, he was still an armed felon, brandishing a gun, if not threatening with her at this time.

Keith Scott’s family and friends have told one apparent falsehood about Scott and the circumstances surrounding his shooting after being warned 11 times over 45 seconds to drop the Colt Mustang Plus II he was brandishing.




Where Did Keith Lamont Scott Get His Gun?

They claim he is a "family" man, but he sure does show a lot of violence towards his family.
He has one heck of a rap sheet stemming back to 1992.

So how was he able to get a gun?
Not legally evidently...

So if he couldn’t legally acquire the Colt Mustang Plus II and well-worn ankle holster that he was clearly seen wearing in CMPD body camera video right before he was shot, where did he get them?

There are only two possible explanations.


The first possible explanation is that Scott obtained the weapon via a “straw purchase” carried out by a family member or friend. This is unlikely due to several reasons, the primary reason being cost. It is very unlikely that if Scott was going obtain a handgun via a straw purchase from a dealer or lawful private seller that he would opt for a Colt Mustang Plus II based on the aforementioned rarity and exorbitant cost of these firearms on the collector’s market. Even used, it costs two to four times as much as new handguns.


As an ex-con with limited career choices and the previously mentioned traumatic brain injury claimed by his family, Scott would have presumably been on a very limited budget for any kind of firearm obtained from the public firearms market.


This leads us to the probability that Scott’s gun was obtained on the criminal black market, and more than likely through theft. Criminals are unlikely to know the actual value of the firearms they steal, and a relatively obscure handgun like the Mustang Plus II in .380 amusingly doesn’t have the cachet among criminals that a stolen Glock or even a Hi-Point does among criminals.

Typical family members trying to downplay what actually happened.
Sources say they never found a 'book' as she claimed, but rather a blunt and gun....nice, all the while waiting for the kid.
