iStock/Thinkstock(SAN DIEGO) — About 200 people took to the streets of a San Diego suburb for a fourth night Friday to protest the fatal shooting by police of unarmed black man Alfred Okwera Olango, just hours after officials released two videos of the incident.
Olango, 38, was shot and killed by an officer with the El Cajon Police Department Tuesday night.
Friday night’s protests were peaceful, but demonstrators blocked intersections and attempted to walk on a freeway before riot gear-wearing police stopped them.
Unlike Thursday night’s protests, there were no immediate reports of violence, vandalism or arrests. During Thursday’s protests, demonstrators had to be broken up with pepper-spray balls after bottles and a brick were thrown at police. Five people were arrested.
