ORIGINAL STORY: More protests continue in the Las Vegas area today against police brutality.
The protests have been widespread throughout the country since the death of George Floyd while in police custody last month in Minneapolis.
This afternoon a Kids Against Racism Rally took place at Craig Ranch Regional Park.
This evening another march started at Molasky Family Park and protesters walked to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Organizers of the night time event said the march would make its way to the convention center, the site of President Trump's last visit to the city.
This is the last part of the #prayer the #BLM #proteters had before marching towards the Convention Center. They’re at least around 150 people here, including kids and legal observants. #tvreporter #lasvegas #nevada #blacklivesmatter #GeorgeFloydprotest @ktnv pic.twitter.com/oZUga4965e
