Several gatherings have been held in Chicago to remember a 13-year-old boy fatally shot by a police officer and to call for changes in policing and an end to gun violence.

They followed the release of body-camera footage showing Chicago police Officer Eric Stillman shooting Adam Toledo less than a second after the boy dropped a gun, turned toward the officer and began raising his hands.
