Journalist David Carson described Masri as a person who could be "very intense fighting for what he believed…but he'd also spent time just talking calmly about life in general during quiet times at protests.".

Louis at the Time of His Death.
According to his Facebook, Masri lived in St.
Louis at the time of his death and worked as a life and health insurance broker.
He attended Hazelwood Central High School and was single with no known children.
Masri Planned to Run for the Missouri House of Representatives.
Masri ran and operated a Facebook page for his 2020 political campaign for the Missouri State House of Representatives.
On the page, Masri wrote in August, "When I win the seat in the Missouri house in 2020 better get ready for my unfiltered candidness.Because I wont let any lobby influence me& I'm going to work hard on police reform,going after big pharma for creating this opioid crisis as well as getting those addicted ppl help.".
