The mother and brother of the 14-year-old, identified by family members as Antonio Arce, held up signs at the protest with Arce’s photo on them, tearfully demanding answers from police.

“They don’t want to tell us the information on it. We want to see body cam footage. We want an autopsy,” Arce’s brother said.
