They marched in solidarity through the streets of Woodland, demanding answers and calling for justice. The rally brought together supporters of victims of police brutality and those they believe were wrongly convicted. Many came in honor of Luis Gutierrez, a 26-year-old Woodland farmworker who was killed by Yolo County Sheriff's deputies on April 30 when he allegedly lunged at them with a knife.

"I don't know if he had a knife or not, but let's say he did have a knife. Three trained officers have no way of handling the situation except to shoot him dead in the street?" said Ellen Eggers who marched in the rally.

Undercover gang officers stopped Gutierrez as he was walking home and fired six shots, hitting him once in the back. Those who knew him say, he wasn't in a gang. An autopsy showed Gutierrez did have meth in his system.

Gutierrez's family and supporters are calling for an independent investigation into his death.

"We need to be here to organize and support the struggle to jail the cops that killed Luis Gutierrez. There's no justification for this," said Gerardo Sanchez, a Gutierrez family supporter.
