San Antonio police officers shot and killed Kevin Johnson, a 28-year-old Black man, on Monday.
His family held a vigil for him in his West Side neighborhood on Tuesday night. Family members are calling for release of body cam footage of the incident.
Kevin Johnson’s family, friends and community members gathered along a bridge over Aztlan Creek on Lombrano street. Many attendees held red balloons in the shape of stars and hearts. His sister Jasmine Johnson said Monday’s events should have never happened.
“This is where we have to come now to see and have some kind of peace with my brother,” she said. “Because until this very second we can’t see his body, we won’t be able to see his body at all until he’s in a funeral home. That’s not their right to do that to us. That’s wrong.” Read more.
