Christopher Rogers was 16 when he was shot and killed in Boston on July 12, 1991. Hall, fatally shot him.

The shooting prompted a large public response: about 200 people attended Rogers’ funeral, and a month later parents of other victims of police shootings organized a march, chanting No justice, no peace. James E. Hall, 29 at the time and a former Boston police officer who had been involved in a separate 1988 fatal shooting, was identified as the sole suspect and arrested. His case was tried in Suffolk County Superior Court; he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and imprisoned. The city later settled with Rogers’ family for $500,000.

Does anyone have memories of the community reaction in Boston at the time or additional detail about the march and its organizers?
