El Cajon Protests Erupt Over Fatal Police Shooting of Alfred Olango

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from headtopics · united states of america · North America

Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of El Cajon following the fatal police shooting of 28-year-old Alfred Olango, an unarmed Ugandan refugee. The largely peaceful protest involved marches from the shooting scene to City Hall, with participants chanting for justice and holding Black Lives Matter signs. Police deployed officers in riot gear to manage the crowd after minor scuffles, but tensions gradually subsided as the evening progressed.
