New Yorkers are protesting the death Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man who was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb.

A group gathered in Brooklyn and marched to Manhattan in the rain Monday night. Protests remained peaceful and the NYPD reported no arrests, CBS2’s Ali Bauman reported.

“Daunte Wright and I are the same age. So this hit a little closer to my heart,” said Jett Williams from Flatbush.
