Israel.

It was brutally graphic video that shocked and shamed: An African asylum seeker was shot by an Israeli security guard who mistook him for an assailant in a terrorist attack. Then an enraged mob stomped and cursed him as he lay bleeding on the floor of a bus station.
...
Doctors at Soroka Medical Center said Zarhum died from a combination of the bullet wound and the subsequent beating by the crowd.
...
The video shows a wounded Zarhum curled on the floor as men entered the frame to kick him in the head. A few people dropped a line of bus station seats on the man. Another man pinned the wounded African on the floor between the legs of a stool as crowds closed in. The crowd can be heard shouting “Death to Arabs!” and “The people of Israel live!”
