Hundreds of community members gathered at the Brettler Family Place housing complex in Laurelhurst on Tuesday for a rally to demand justice for Charleena Lyles, a pregnant mother of four who was fatally shot by Seattle Police officers after reporting a burglary on June 18. Prompted by Lyles’ family after a series of speeches, rally attendees marched for four miles to Husky Stadium, where they were met with police.
