		</div><p>Protesters have faced off with police in Minneapolis over the fatal shooting of a man by members of a US marshals task force.</p>
<p>Photos from the scene following a vigil for Winston Boogie Smith Jr showed fires in the street and a line of officers standing guard in the city in the US state of Minnesota.</p>
<p>It is the second night of protests in response to the fatal shooting on Thursday in Minneapolis’ Uptown area.</p>
<p>Authorities said 32-year-old Mr Smith was wanted on suspicion of a weapons violation and had 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 had been trying to arrest him on a warrant for allegedly being in possession of a gun.</p>
<p>Family and friends described Mr 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>Police said some people vandalised buildings and stole from businesses after the shooting on Thursday.</p>
<p>Nine people were arrested on possible charges including suspicion of riot, assault, arson and damage to property.</p>
<p>The fatal shooting comes with Minneapolis still 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>
