Community meetings and protests in the wake of the shooting death of Walter Wallace Jr. Wallace was shot and killed by police in front of his home on the 6100 block of Locust Street on Monday, Oct. 27.

David Parker, an acquaintance to Walter Wallace Jr., yells at the line of police officers during a protest at 55th and Pine Street on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020. “I feel distraught,” Parker said. “I want to see a noticeable and prevalent difference in how police handle matters, period. The gun is not meant to solve anything. Physical restraint was all that is needed necessary.”
