Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Five years after a Capitol Police officer shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, a march was held in her honor in the nation's capital on Tuesday.
Dozens attended the march, which started at 11:45 a.m. EST at the Ellipse near the White House and ended at the outer edge of the Capitol grounds, where police stopped them, The Guardian reported.
A small group of counter-protesters also were at the Capitol, but police mostly kept them apart.
The former leader of the conservative Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, was among the event's organizers and said it would be a "patriotic and peaceful march" ahead of its start time.
