The Detroit Police Department added that a majority of the people arrested were not from Detroit. Police say a 21-year-old Eastpointe man was killed Friday night when someone approached his car during the protest and fired shots.

I urge everyone to continue to honor Mr. Floyd by engaging in safe, peaceful and civil protest of his murder, said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy in a statement.
