The day started out with a peaceful protest of thousands of Detroiters to honor the life of George Floyd at 4pm in downtown Detroit. Later in the evening, the protest escalated into a riot between protesters and the Detroit Police Department.
At 11:30 p.m. one protester was shot and killed when a gray Dodge Durango pulled up and someone inside opened fire into the crowd, hitting a 19-year-old at Congress and Randolph. The wounded man died at the hospital from his injuries, according to Detroit police. Anyone with information is asked to please call Detroit Police Homicide at 313-596-1290 at Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
