Hundreds gathered at city hall to mourn Erixon Kabera, shot to death by Hamilton police [Video]

At least 400 people gathered Thursday on a rainy night in front of Hamilton City Hall to remember Erixon Kabera. 

The 43-year-old died early Sunday, after being shot and killed by police.

Kabera had three children aged 17, 13 and 10, said his close friend Andy Ganza.

“He had a lot to live for,” he told the CBC.

Hundreds marched from city hall on Main Street Thursday night, holding umbrellas and banners, while a few police officers looked on.

“He was a very kind soul,” said Kabera’s brother, Yves Ikobe, while addressing the crowd on Thursday.

“We need to make sure that my brother gets justice.”
