The rally for justice is set to begin at 9 a.m. and participants are asked to wear orange and bring signs, posters, sidewalk chalk and photos of 33-year-old Max Antoine.

Antoine was shot in the torso while crossing McLevy Green early April 20, after leaving a party at an undisclosed location, police said.

At the time Police Capt. Brian Fitzgerald said several gunshots were fired and Antoine was pronounced dead at the scene.
