What was the name of the Baltimore man who died while in police custody, sparking widespread protests?

The name of the Baltimore man who died while in police custody, sparking widespread protests, was Freddie Gray. He was arrested on April 12, 2015, and died a week later on April 19, 2015, from a spinal cord injury sustained while in police custody. His death was ruled a homicide, and six police officers were charged with various crimes, including second-degree murder, in connection with his death. The protests following Gray's death brought national attention to police brutality and misconduct, particularly in communities of color.

The case of Freddie Gray is just one example of a larger issue of police violence and the need for police reform. Many activists and organizations are calling for changes in the criminal justice system to address systemic racism and bias in law enforcement. The Black Lives Matter movement, in particular, has been at the forefront of this advocacy work, calling attention to the disproportionate impact of police violence on Black people and other people of color.
