Dozens Protest Shooting Death of North Carolina Teen in Police Custody 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Dozens of people marched in Durham, North Carolina, on Friday to protest
the killing of a teenager in police custody. The family of 17-year-old
Jesus Huerta had called police concerned he had run away to use illegal
drugs. Police found Huerta and transported him in a van. The Durham
Police Department says at some point during that trip Huerta suffered a
gunshot wound to the head, but have not released details pending an
investigation.
