		</div><p>Protesters took to the streets for a fourth consecutive night in the city of Minneapolis over the shooting death of a black man by members of a US Marshals task force.</p>
<p>Crowds marched on Sunday evening in response to Thursday’s fatal shooting of 32-year-old Winston Boogie Smith Jr in Minneapolis’ Uptown neighbourhood.</p>
<p>Officers stood watch during the demonstrations.</p>
<p>There were no immediate reports of injuries or arrests stemming from Sunday’s protests.</p>
<p>Authorities said on Friday that Smith was wanted on a weapons violation and fired a gun before two deputies shot him while he was inside a parked vehicle.</p>
<p>Members of the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force were trying to arrest him on a warrant for allegedly being a felon in possession of a gun.</p>
<p>Family and friends described Smith as a father of three who was often harassed by police.</p>
<p>They are demanding transparency in the investigation and have asked that anyone who might have video footage to come forward.</p>
<p>Earlier protests over the weekend led to arrests.</p>
<p>The night after the shooting, some people vandalised buildings and stole from businesses.</p>
<p>The fatal shooting comes as Minneapolis has been on edge since the death of George Floyd just over a year ago, and the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright by an officer in nearby Brooklyn Centre in April.</p>
