Dozens of people gathered at a protest of Dearborn police on Saturday afternoon over the shooting death of Kevin Matthews.
The Change Agent Consortium and Concerned Clergy held the protest at the department at 12 p.m.
Matthews was shot and killed Wednesday after a struggle with a Dearborn police officer.
On Friday, the Wayne County Medical Examiner listed his cause of death as "multiple gunshot wounds." The manner was stated to be a homicide.
Police said Wednesday that Matthews was a suspect wanted for a probation violation in Redford and was wanted for a theft that took place in Dearborn on the day he was shot.
He was spotted by a Dearborn officer and police say a foot chase then followed through a neighborhood near Tireman and Greenfield, on the border of Detroit and Dearborn.
The officer and suspect got into a physical encounter, with a struggle taking place over the officer's weapon, police said Wednesday. Matthews was unarmed. He died at the scene.
The Dearborn police officer who shot and killed Kevin Matthews was placed on paid administrative leave following the shooting.
On Thursday, the National Action Network stood with the family of Kevin Matthews to express outrage over the killing of the 35-year-old Detroit man.
Dearborn Police say they are fully cooperating with the investigation, and look forward to making a complete and transparent public disclosure of information when the investigation is concluded.
