into the rapper’s death and is examining whether race was a factor in it.
Speakers included one of Mr Kaba’s cousins, who fought back tears as she thanked protestors for supporting Chris’ parents and called for the officer who shot him to be charged.

She said: “When people say and get up and shout that black lives matter and people say they don’t be ridiculous, all lives matter, there is a clear reason why they’re doing it.

Nobody deserves to die in that way, nobody, let’s be absolutely clear.
