About 100 people marched through the streets of Wilmington Sunday to protest police brutality and the police shooting of 30-year-old Lymond Moses.
Residents came out of their houses to watch, cheer and raise their fists in solidarity as the marchers passed by.
The march began at Kingswood Community Center in Riverside, a few blocks from where Moses was fatally shot by New Castle County police in January.
Amanda Spence, Moses’ wife, led the march alongside the rest of Moses’ family, including his mother and sisters.
“At the other side of a bullet is a family,” said Emeka Igwe, the attorney representing the family.
