@3NewsNowOmaha I’m at the second night of protests outside the Omaha Police Headquarters. @WeAreProBLAC is saying they are protesting because they want OPD to release body camera footage from Thursday night when a 35-year-old black man was fatally shot during a traffic stop. pic.twitter.com/AU8y3WO1or

The group plans to protest outside the Omaha Police Department beginning at 6 p.m. They're looking for body-camera footage from the incident to be released.
The body-cam footage is something Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said can't be released by Omaha Police right now.
Stothert has said a grand jury will review the officer-involved shooting. The grand jury could be delayed due to COVID-19, as many investigations are on hold or backlogged.
Kenneth Jones, 35, died in the officer-involved shooting on Thursday night near 27th and Harrison. Jones was shot during a struggle that ensued after what was initially a routine traffic stop. He later died at Nebraska Med.
The two officers involved are on paid administrative leave.
The first round of protests on Friday resulted in a handful of arrests.
