Jamar Clark 10th Anniversary Event
Minneapolis, MN — On Nov. 15, 2015, Minneapolis Police officers Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze fatally shot unarmed 24-year-old Jamar Clark. The community responded by occupying the police’s 4th Precinct for 18 days and enduring a white supremacist terror attack where five people were shot before the encampment was evicted by the police. The officers were exonerated from the killing in March 2016.
For the 10th anniversary, Clark’s family joined the Reinvestigations Workgroup for a day of discussion, a celebration of Clark’s life, honoring a new bench in his name and revealing new investigative details about the killing. Watch the live stream below.
After the indoor event, Clark’s family and friends led a march down Plymouth Avenue, past the Minneapolis Police 4th Precinct, to the site where Clark was killed. The family unveiled a new marble stone bench that now sits just feet from where Jamar took his last breath.
