Apparently in all of the BLM protests, which were both peaceful and sometimes very violent (including storming at least one government building), only one unarmed person was shot to death by police.

I'm only aware of one person _at all_ being shot by police re: BLM. And they had a gun, and were scaring people by having their finger on the trigger. A police officer got shot in the head that day too. But my info could be out of date on that.

You thinking of this example maybe? theguardian.com/us-news/2020/j
It's the only one that comes up if you grep for "unarmed" in the article.
It doesn't sound clearly protest related, being at a Walgreens after midnight. "Just" another example of trigger happy police...
