Yesterday, community members marched in New Brunswick to protest the fatal shooting. The march was organized by the Black Lives Matter Chapter at Rutgers University’s New Brunswick campus.
Diahlo Grant’s sister Camille O’Sullivan,told NJ.com that their focus is to get answers.
“Our focus is to get answers,” said O’Sullivan, 25, before the start of the march. “To this day, it’s still so unreal what happened. We want to find out all the details. We want all the photos. The police said it was a shootout but I don’t see my brother on a suicide mission.”
“The family is asking for transparency,” said Taqwa Brookins, of Franklin, a junior at Rutgers and president of Black Lives Matters Rutgers.
“Essentially, we’re simply asking for our justice system to address crime equally, whether the individual is a law enforcement officer or a citizen.”
