Hundreds of residents marched in Denver on the weekend to end the police brutality.

The march was called “A March for Jordan”, and it was inspired by Jordan Edwards, an unarmed teenager who was killed by a Balch Springs officer in April. Several groups, including Mothers Against Police Brutality, Texas Organizing Project hosted the march that started at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Dallas and ended in Pike Park.

The groups called its members to get involved and register to vote. City leaders spoke at the rally.

Odelle Edwards, the father of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards was also among the persons who spoke at the rally conducted before the Father’s day.

"Every day I look at my kids and my family, and I see the hurt in their eyes, and I try to be strong for them," Edwards told the crowd, "It is so hard. I'm going to miss Jordan. I'm going to miss him a lot."  His family hopes the officer who killed his son will be indicted for the shooting.

The officer who shot Jordan has been fired from his post. The Balch Springs Police Department turned over its investigation into the incident to the Dallas County Sheriff's Department.

The event lasted for several hours. Family members of other people, who were killed by police took to the stage to speak.

Before the event wrapped up, a sign dedicating the park to Santos Rodriguez was unveiled.  The 12-year-old was murdered by a Dallas police officer in 1973.
People in Saturday's group also marched against SB4, known as the "sanctuary city" bill.

Jordan’s two brothers attended the march as well.

"There has to be a stop to this,” said 16-year-old Vidal Allen, who witnessed his brothers death
