The first man killed at the Boston Massacre was a black man, Crispus Attucks. As far as who fired the first shot at the first BATTLE of the Revolutionary War- no one knows whether it was an American or a British soldier.
In reality we don't know who took that shot in that April morning in 1775, but I doubt this person was African American. I only say this because in Lexington the population was white and there were no slaves. The British army very definitely was not intergraded so no African would have been in its forces. Society in this time was very stratified and African Americans were marginalized.

The first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired at Lexington, Massachusetts. It took place on April 19, 1775, when British soldiers clashed with colonial militia. This event, known as the Battle of Lexington and Concord, marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War.
It was revolutionary because it marked the first time the gov't took direct responsiblity for it's citizen's welfare.
The first shot fired at Lexington was unidentified, but it caused a great stir; it caused much confusion and 8 Americans to lose their lives. Others consider the first shot fired by Patriots at the North Bridge was "the shot heard 'round the world"... Word of the military conflict traveled quickly from town to town that day because people not only sent messengers but used bells, drums, alarm guns, bonfires, & trumpets to inform people of British military situations. This is known as the "alarm & muster" system.
