Mourners Demand Justice for Killing of Black Teenager Na'Kia Crawford in Ohio
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Akron, Ohio, protesters gathered Monday at the site where an
18-year-old Black teenager, Na'Kia Crawford, was shot and killed Sunday
while driving with her grandmother. She had graduated from high school
less than two weeks before she was killed. Witnesses say a white man
shot Crawford from a car that police are now trying to locate. Na'Kia
Crawford's family believes the incident was racially motivated.
