The family of Freddie Gray in Baltimore has condemned the violence that spread across the city after his funeral following his death in police custody a week ago.
According to CNN, Gray's mother said that she wanted people to demand justice for her son but violence was not the way towards it.
Gray's twin sister also denounced the violence calling it "wrong".

The Mayor has also called in the National Guard to address the problem.
