Protesters blocked traffic on Interstate 494 in Richfield, Minnesota, Sunday evening following a vigil for an officer-involved shooting in the city.
Family members say 30-year-old Brian Quinones was shot and killed by police after a chase around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday evening.
The moments leading up to the officer-involved shooting were captured on a Facebook Live video that was started by Quinones. The video starts minutes before officers tried to pull him over.
In the video, officers begin pursuing Quinones -- who seems to remain calm but doesn't stop -- not long after the video starts.

At that point, the video shows Quinones jump from the vehicle -- with what appears to be a weapon in his hand -- and seconds later gunshots are heard. We're told Richfield and Edina officers were involved in the incident but it's not clear which department fired shots.
A vigil was held in Quinones' memory near the shooting scene around 6 p.m. According to a Facebook event, members from Black Lives Matter and other advocacy groups took part in the candlelight vigil along with members of Quinones' family.
