- Gray received a fatal spinal cord injury while under police custody. He died on April 19, a week after his arrest.
- Protests and riots broke out in Baltimore this week in response to Gray's death, leading local and state officials to impose a weeklong 10 pm curfew and enlist the help of Maryland's National Guard.
