  Speaker 3: with BIN News Now. Back to you, Andrea.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Amber. Hundreds of demonstrators marched across the Biloxi
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Ocean Springs Bridge yesterday demanding answers in the death of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Mississippi teen Nolan Wells. Family members, civil rights activists, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: supporters from across the country participated in the Justice for
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Nolan Xavier Wells March. The 18-year-old died following a trip
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to Horn Island in July, and his family has continued
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to question the circumstances surrounding his death. Demonstrators are calling
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: on the Justice Department and the FBI to conduct an
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: independent investigation. Organizers say the march is intended to keep
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: attention on the case and push for greater accountability. Family
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: members of 21-year-old Kinesia Scott told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: she will be missed. She was living, not existing. And
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: when she walked in the room, she just brightened the room.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: They was leaving a parking garage and people just started shooting.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And they looked back and she was on the ground.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Whoever did it, however many, they were cowards. Because you're
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: taking innocent lives. The thing about it, did you even
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: get your target? Scott was a senior at Tarleton State
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: University studying to be a math teacher. She was one
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of four people killed in three shootings in the Dallas
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: area early yesterday morning. At least 24 people were killed
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and nearly 100 more wounded in shootings from coast to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: coast over the weekend. Other shootings were reported in states
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: from Maryland to California. Many of the weekend shootings took
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: place at clubs, around school campuses and retail centers. The
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Dallas Police Department says some arrests have been made in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: shootings there. They are asking anyone with video from the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: scenes to contact their department. Redistricting is on the ballot
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in Maryland this election. Governor Wes Moore pushed hard to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: have the issue put before voters. He recently told BIN's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Vanessa Tyler that the issue is about more than just
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: redrawing the state's congressional maps.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Inflation is up, that unemployment, national employment is up, that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the gas prices are up, that grocery prices are up,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and Trump's bank account is up. And he is trying
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to regulate elections so he does not have to be checked.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And so what question three is fundamentally saying is who
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is in charge of our democracy? And I believe that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: our democracy should be that Marylanders are in charge, not
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. So a yes on question three really is
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: saying a no to what Donald Trump is trying to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: do to our freedoms.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Moore is the only black sitting governor in the U.S.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: right now and is running for re-election. Polls show him
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with a comfortable lead in the race. Seven other black
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: candidates are also on the ballot in governor's races in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: other states across the country. BIN will be monitoring the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: election throughout the day and evening. Tune in at 7 p.m.
