Baltimore Mayor: How Did Freddie Gray Die?

21.04.2015
Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings vowed today to 'get to the bottom of' Freddie Gray's death. The autopsy hasn't yielded many answers in Freddie Gray's death -- in fact, it's prompted more questions -- but Baltimore's mayor pledged Tuesday to find out how the 25-year-old died from a spinal cord injury after being arrested a week prior.
Gray's death is not bolstering that trust. Outrage was apparent at protests Monday, the day after he died.
Outside a Baltimore Police Department precinct, demonstrators co-opted slogans from other high-profile police shootings. They chanted -- "Hands up! Don't shoot!" and "I can't breathe!" -- and carried signs saying, "No justice, no peace!" and "Black lives matter."
Sharon Black, one of the rally's organizers, said police misconduct is routine in Baltimore, and described Gray's death as the "straw that broke the camel's back."
Police plan to conclude their investigation by Friday, May 1, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said. From there, the case will go to the state's attorney's office, which will decide whether to file charges.
