Rally Held to Protest Police-Involved Shooting in Union City

People gathered in Union City Friday to protest a police-involved shooting that killed a 19-year-old man.

Former Atlanta City councilmember Derrick Boazman organized the rally after an officer shot and killed Ariston Waiters Wednesday night while responding to a disturbance on hickory lane circle.

Friends and family say the 19-year-old was not armed.

Waiters' infant daughter was at the rally. Other local elected officials also showed up to support the family.

The GBI is now investigating the incident.
