Days after a jury convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, roughly 100 protesters gathered at Rodney Square in Wilmington Sunday afternoon to demand justice for another Black man killed by law enforcement.
In January, New Castle County Police fatally shot 30-year-old Lymond Moses in Wilmington, shortly after officers found him asleep in a running car parked near his mother’s home.

A total of 110 people incarcerated in state prisons have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.
In April, in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus inside state prisons, Gov. Tom Wolf issued an executive order establishing the Temporary Program to Reprieve Sentences.
The targeted effort applies to prisoners serving sentences for nonviolent convictions who would be eligible for release within the next nine months, or who are considered vulnerable for infection and are within a year of their release date. That includes those who are 65 or older, have an autoimmune disorder, or have a chronic medical condition such as heart disease or diabetes.
