(RNN) – Protesters marched in Chicago streets after the release of dash-cam video of the police shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.

Several hundred people gathered at one point Tuesday evening and blocked traffic, two protesters were arrested, and some people circled police cars in an intersection and chanted “16 shots,” The Associated Press reported.

Sixteen is the number of times authorities say Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke, charged with first-degree murder in the death of McDonald, shot McDonald while the teen was walking away from police. Police released the video Tuesday evening, hours after charges were filed against Van Dyke.
