A crowd of ardent demonstrators rallied in South Los Angeles and outside Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Hancock Park home into Sunday morning after a Los Angeles police officer fatally shot an 18-year-old man following a stolen vehicle pursuit.
KTLA reports that crowds gathered near the scene of the shooting and remained there into the evening, but the demonstrations were peaceful. Police monitoring the protest initially wore riot gear, but removed it later.

Social media indicated that demonstrators planned to return to Garcetti’s house for a rally Sunday, but by afternoon a protest had yet to materialize. But signs of unrest lingered into the day, including yellow stains on the mayor’s residence left by eggs that had been thrown at it.
