By April 12, protests had spread to other locations in the United States. Many demonstrations were part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

About 300 people would gather to host a vigil at Moore Square in downtown Raleigh on April 18 begging at 6 p.m. After a series of speeches were given by local activists relating to their personal experiences with police brutality, about 200 protesters would march through the streets chanting "no justice, no peace, abolish the police". During the first twenty minutes of the protest protesters would occasionally throw eggs at buildings and cars. In less than 5 minutes after the protests started a police van stopped behind the protesters telling them to get of the street and go on the sidewalk or be arrested. At 8:16 p.m. the protest was declared an lawfully assembly by the Raleigh Police Department. During that night, 12 protesters would be arrested and mostly charged with failing to disperse.[67]
