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".
Fifteen Baltimore city police officers were injured as protesters clashed with the police , which resulted in chaos and violence.
According to reports, riots have ensued in the city. A city-wide curfew has been put in place by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake effective for a week, in order to restore order.
The Mayor has also called in the National Guard to address the problem.
