Hundreds of people protesting the murder of 38-year-old homeless man James Boyd gathered in Albuquerque Sunday. They marched to APD headquarters, then to the Civic Plaza. Then the crowd marched east on Central, blocking both lanes of traffic. Police in riot gear were confronted by protesters near the university. Protesters continued to walk back and forth on Central until late in the night.
