MARCHING AGAIN FOR JUSTICE IN LIMA
Brenda Johnson, director of the Cheryl Allen Southside Community Center, leads protesters through the streets of Lima, a day after Tarika Wilson, who was shot to death by police during a drug raid, was buried.
Wilson's 14-month-old son, Sincere, was wounded in the shooting.
Ms. Johnson, march organizer, said marchers will demonstrate every Saturday until they find out why Police Sgt. Joe Chavalia shot the 26-year-old woman on Jan. 4.
"We want truth and justice," Ms. Johnson said. "Through justice we will have peace."
No details have been released, but the case is under investigation by the FBI and other agencies. ( VIEW: Events surrounding Lima shooting )
