Dallas police shooting: How one protester went from most wanted to innocent man

During the chaos of the Dallas shootings, one man's face was flashed across social media and the news networks as a main suspect.

He was black, wearing a camouflage top and had what looked like a semi-automatic rifle slung over his shoulder.

The suspect was named as Mark Hughes and Dallas police wanted help to track him down.

But he wasn't one of the shooters. He was an innocent man.

This is the moment Mark Hughes became "Most Wanted".

This tweet from the Dallas Police Department says "This is one of our suspects."

The message from the Dallas Police Department was retweeted around 40,000 times - as unknowingly, Mark Hughes became a hunted man.

Soon, other people at the protests were helping to track him down.

This tweet shows a photo of Mark Hughes walking down the street with his gun.

His face was flashed across American TV news networks.

Fox news shares the photo of Mark Hughes.

Many people were shocked by the image of him, seemingly so casual, carrying a big gun over his shoulder.

Others pointed out that, being America, he wasn't doing anything illegal.

This tweet says he's within his rights to carry the gun.

The protests were being held after two recent shootings where two black men were shot dead by white police officers.

And the racial tensions were clear.

This tweet asks why police can't find a killer when a black person is shot.

As the chaos played out across social media, people soon started to question whether Dallas Police were after the right man.

Videos emerged that seemed to show he didn't pose a threat.

And then news teams found his brother, Corey, who insisted the police were wrong. He said Mark had come to the area to take part in the peaceful protest.

The reporter asks why his brother had taken his gun to a peaceful protest. Corey Hughes replies: "Because it is his right."

He also said he was worried his brother could be killed if the police spotted him.

Messages got through to Mark Hughes that police were after him.

He handed himself into police and gave them his gun.

Police arrested him but he was later released without charge - and many people demanded that Dallas Police delete the tweet where he'd been identified as a suspect. So far, it hasn't been.

Mark Hughes then appeared on TV. He said he'd been getting death threats since his photo had been spread across the internet.

And he accused police of lying about having witnesses that had seen him shooting.

So far, he's had no apology from Dallas Police.
