Stephon Clark, 22, was shot and killed in his family's backyard after officers tracked him down amid reports of burglaries in the area. Body camera footage released on Wednesday showed a short time between officers' first contact and shots being fired at Clark. Further complicating matters were reports from Sacramento Police in the aftermath of the shooting saying Clark had a weapon, when it was later found he only had a cellphone in his possession.
Protesters marched through the streets of Sacramento following a day of marching that blocked traffic on Interstate 5 and fans from the Sacramento Kings from entering Thursday's game.
On Friday, crowds rotated throughout Downtown Sacramento streets, alternating between the Capitol and the Interstate 5 onramps on I Street, eventually making its way to the Capital City Freeway on the other side of town.
