Demonstrators hold vigil in North Carolina to demand justice for a Black man who died days after his arrest following the release of body camera videos that showed the man struggling with guards.
Janice Jordan, one of John Neville's aunts, lights a candle during a vigil for Neville on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2020, in Bailey Park in Winston-Salem, N.C. Demonstrators held the vigil to demand justice for Neville, a Black man who died days after his December 2019 arrest following the release of body camera videos that showed him struggling with guards and yelling he couldn’t breathe as they restrained him.
More than 70 participants used their phones as flashlights and sang songs during the vigil for John Neville in Winston-Salem Wednesday night, the Winston-Salem Journal reported. His father died at a hospital of a brain injury on Dec. 4, three days after his arrest on a warrant accusing him of assaulting a woman. The struggle with the guards happened while he was booked in Forsyth County jail. Five former jail officers and a nurse were charged last month with involuntary manslaughter in his death.
