Mourners gathered at a Baltimore funeral home on Sunday to remember a 25-year-old black man who died a week ago while in police custody, an unexplained death that has brought thousands to the city's downtown to protest police violence.
The wake for Freddie Gray on Sunday afternoon came the day after the largest demonstration yet since he died on April 19 and two weeks after a foot chase with patrol officers, his eventual arrest and his ride in a police transport van.
"I am very happy that people who don't even know him still cared enough to come," Jasmine Lee, who said she was Gray's cousin, said outside of the funeral home where a steady trickle of people passed through to pay their respects.
