Last night, more than 200 protesters shut down streets in Northwest over the death of Terrence Sterling, an unarmed Maryland motorcyclist whom a D.C. police officer fatally shot on Sept. 11. While the District has released body camera footage of the immediate aftermath of the incident, community members want more information about what happened, and a speedy investigation.
