Black Lives Matter protesters marched on Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's house and surrounded a police precinct after police shot and killed an 18-year-old black man Wednesday afternoon.
Deon Kay, who had just turned 18, was shot at around 4pm yesterday amid nationwide unrest over police violence.
Early this morning, a group of around 20 protesters made their way from the scene of the original demonstration outside a police precinct in DC to the street where Mayor Bowser lives.
The demonstrators can be heard in a video posted by N2Sreports chanting: 'If we don’t get no justice, you don’t get no sleep.'
They spent around an hour outside the property, arguing with cops who arrived at the request of a neighbor, before a larger police presence drove to the scene and they left.
Earlier Kay's mother Natasha told The Washington Post: 'They took my baby, they just took my baby from me. I need my son back, I want my son back.'
Black Lives Matter D.C. tweeted: 'Don't let MPD control the narrative! Police lie! We're on our way.'
