The Temple NAACP and members of the community gathered in front of the Temple City Hall to march to the Temple Police Department in honor of the man killed in an officer-involved shooting in Temple.

The walk started after a press conference on Michael Dean's death at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

According to Temple PD, around 8:15 p.m. on Monday, December 2, 28-year-old Michael Dean was shot and killed by an officer with the Temple Police Department.
