A hundred protesters have asked for answers this Tuesday in

for a new death of a black man at the hands of the police, in a general climate of tension and mistrust towards the forces of order in the United States.

The victim, identified as

, 29, was riding a bicycle on Monday afternoon when officers tried to stop him for an alleged traffic violation, according to the authority, although without specifying the type of offense.

According to the sheriff, the man "ran away" leaving his bicycle behind, and when the police managed to catch him he hit one of them in the face.

In his flight he dropped several articles of clothing that he was carrying in his hand.

"Agents noticed that inside the pile of clothes there was a black semiautomatic pistol," Lieutenant

of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office

added at a news conference

.

At that moment the agents fired.

The man, hit by several bullets, died right there.

Authorities have not clarified whether the man was looking for his weapon when he was shot.

Dean have indicated that an investigation has been opened.

Civil rights attorney

, who represents the family, claims that Kizzee was shot more than 20 times and urges any witnesses to contact him to gather more information on what happened.

"They say he ran and dropped his clothes and gun," Crump wrote in a tweet.

"He didn't pick her up, but the policemen shot him in the back more than 20 times and then left him for hours."

Several hours after the shooting, a hundred people gathered at the scene Monday night to demand justice, holding Black Lives Matter banners and demanding justice.

A small group gathered there again Tuesday night to march peacefully, alongside a caravan of cars, to the nearby sheriff's station, while a police helicopter flew over the demonstration.

Some protesters carried signs that read: "Stop the murderous policemen."

"Absolutely tired"

Deja, a woman who witnessed the shooting and who has only provided her first name, has told Afp that she screamed "don't shoot her, don't shoot her" while officers tried to arrest Kizzee, who lived in her neighborhood.

"They were trying to catch him and take his things and finally, when they couldn't, he turned to run and was hit with a Taser blast to the back of his leg," Deja said.

"She turned around and then they shot her," she said.

Deja indicates that officers handcuffed Kizzee before he was pronounced dead.

Kizzee's aunt,

, has told reporters that she believes her nephew's skin color was a factor in the shooting.

"I think it is so dirty for any department, be it the sheriff or any other, that they kill people," he said.

"They don't kill any other race except us and this doesn't make any sense. Why us? There are Asians, Hispanics aren't even killed as much as us."

"It's just us and we are tired. We are absolutely tired," he settled.
