Protesters in Bridgeport say they will stay camped out in front of police headquarters in honor of a teen fatally shot by police in 2017 until City Council members meet with them.

The demonstration began three days ago over the weekend for Jayson Negron, the Bridgeport teen fatally shot by an officer on Fairfield Avenue after backing a stolen vehicle into a police officer following a chase with law enforcement, according to the Waterbury state's attorney.

The Bridgeport officer who fatally shot Negron was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.

However, the group of protesters who set up more than 20 tents outside the police department say they are demanding the officer who killed Negron be fired, among a number of other demands, including defunding the police department.

Demonstrators initially told News 12 they were going to stay camped out at the police headquarters until they met with the City Council on June 23.
