Protesters spilled into the streets of Elizabeth City for the sixth consecutive day Monday, as the small North Carolina community continues its calls for the public release of body camera footage of the shooting death of Andrew Brown Jr.

Pasquotank County Sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Brown on April 21 while executing search and arrest warrants.

Demonstrators dispersed around 10:30 p.m. after blocking traffic on Ehringhaus Street, a heavily used roadway in Elizabeth City.

Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, spoke to crowds outside the Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office earlier in the day. Garner’s death at the hands of New York police officers sparked the chant, “I Can’t Breathe,” which has now become a rallying cry across the country.
