A PROTEST is set to take place after unarmed father-to-be Chris Kaba was shot dead by police.

The peaceful protest is taking place tomorrow at 2pm outside Brighton police station in John Street.

It is part of a national day of action with similar marches taking place across the country. 

Mr Kaba, 24, who had been due to become a father, was killed while unarmed on September 5 following a police pursuit which ended in Streatham Hill, south London.

The Audi he was driving was hemmed in by two police vehicles in Kirkstall Gardens, a narrow residential street, and one round was fired from a police weapon.

The car Mr Kaba was driving was flagged up on automatic number plate recognition but it later emerged that the vehicle was not registered to him.

Watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct is leading a homicide investigation into the shooting, and the Metropolitan Police marksman involved has been suspended.

Relatives of Mr Kaba are holding a protest in central London on Saturday and have encouraged campaigners elsewhere in the UK to do the same.

They have asked the IOPC to see the police video footage linked to the shooting.
