Peaceful protesters gathered on Martin Luther King Boulevard Tuesday evening to protest the death of 24-year-old Akiel Rakim Lakeith Denkins. Denkins was shot by a 29-year-old white police officer, D.C. Twiddy, Monday near the intersection of Bragg and East Streets. No arrests were made during the march. The Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP, said the investigation of shooting should be dealt with out in the open but encouraged protesters to remain peaceful. The Raleigh Police Protective Association said it supports Twiddy’s actions.
