The family of Donovan Lynch releases balloons in his honor today, which would be his 26th birthday.
Donovan was shot dead by a Virginia Beach police officer on March 26.
Protests are taking place tonight, but I wanted to share this first.

Wayne Lynch, Donovan’s father spoke out briefly as well.
“He’s here in spirit. He’s here in our hearts,” he said. “We’re gonna keep his name alive.”
He says he’s made a career of protecting the lives of young Black men, and will continue to expand on that effort.

The family then released four doves. One for Donovan, and three for the Holy Trinity.
“We love you Donovan,” his father waved as the doves flew into the distance.
