Man may have live-tweeted Michael Brown shooting

A Twitter user who goes by the handle @ThreePharoah and whose profile says he lives in St. Louis, Missouri, may have live-tweeted the killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

Rolling Stone national-affairs reporter Tim Dickinson curated this series of tweets from @ThreePharoah, which all have time stamps that match up with the timeline of Brown's death. The alleged witness also tweeted a photo of Brown lying dead in the street while two police officers stand over him. The man claims to live on the residential street where the shooting occurred, and some of the photos show that he took the pictures from behind what appears to be the wooden slats of a porch.

besides Michael's friend, Dorian Johnson.

The ones I've seen are Tiffany Mitchell, Piaget Crenshaw, and Phillip Walker,
