New Black Panther Party seeks justice for Dorian Murrell, end of white supremacy

INDIANAPOLIS -- Around 20 people representing the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), Panther Special Operations Command and other Black activists groups convened at the Julia M. Carson Transit Center for a Second Amendment march to Monument Circle early Saturday afternoon against white supremacy and in support for the family of Dorian Murrell.

Last year, the night of May 30, during the riots in downtown Indianapolis, robberies and violence broke out. At around 2 a.m., Murrell, an unarmed teenager, was shot and killed around Pennsylvania and Market streets.

Tyler Newby is charged with Murrell's killing after he turned himself into police.

Shouts of "Black power" and "all power to the people" led by Corey Goodridge, Murrell's cousin, echoed down the streets. The group — dressed in all black and carrying rifles and Pan-African flags — walked single file down the street, first toward the Indiana Convention Center and then to the circle, which is near the spot Murrell was shot and killed.
