The Justice for Joey campaign has organized another demonstration set for 2:30 p.m. Sunday outside of the Hays Police Department, 105 W. 12th.

The event will coincide with the one-month anniversary of the police-involved shooting death of Joseph Weber.

The event is scheduled for 30 minutes, with participants asked to meet at 2 p.m. across the street from the department building, according to event organizers.

The demonstration will begin at 2:30 p.m. with silence for 10 minutes, then chanting until the end of the demonstration at 3 p.m.

“Everyone is welcome to attend this peaceful event. We encourage all ages to take part, and hope that parents might use this demonstration as an opportunity for learning,” according to the event posting on Facebook.

While a few reports from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation probe into the death have been submitted to Tom Drees, Ellis County Attorney, it is only a small number of the nearly 60 expected, according to Drees.

At this time, no further information has been released about the incident.
