A candlelit vigil was held Friday evening by Black Lives Matter and Harriet’s Wildest Dreams, to remember 26-year-old Justin Robinson, who was fatally shot by D.C. police last Sunday.
Chants of “Justice for Justin!” were shouted out as hundreds of mourners returned to the scene where the shooting took place: the McDonald’s on Marion Barry Avenue in Southeast D.C.
A sea of people, balloons and lit candles could be seen for hundreds of yards, as D.C. police blocked off the street to let demonstrators conduct the vigil peacefully.
