More than a dozen protesters shut down a busy downtown Miami intersection, marched to a nearby jail and announced the launch of nightly protests all in the name of justice for Ma’Khia Bryant, one of the most recent teenagers to be killed by police.

On Saturday, Miami residents and tourists on Biscayne Boulevard took notice of a crowd of about 24 at the Torch of Friendship chanting for the end of police brutality and white supremacy, among other mainstays of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“I came out for Ma’Khia Bryant and for all the other people of color who have been killed by police because of systematic racism,” Protester Peter Marusse said.

Bryant, the 16-year-old teenager protesters were demanding justice for, was shot and killed by Columbus, Ohio police as she swung a knife at a woman on Tuesday, just 30 minutes before Derek Chauvin was found guilty of the murder of George Floyd, the Associated Press reported.

Before the action kicked off, recently appointed Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo took time to speak with some of the protesters.
