It happened at approximately 9:30 p.m. in the area of King Street East and the Red Hill Valley Parkway, according to police.
Officers arrived on scene to find a coffin filled with roses, plants and naloxone kits. They believe that a local “defund police movement” is behind the demonstration.
A video published to Twitter last night appears to show the protesters outside of Mayor Fred Eisenberger’s home delivering the coffin.
We are to send a message to the mayor https://t.co/lJ566N33mV
