Among the many members of the rally were members of Sam Dubose's extended family.

Sam Dubose's cousin, Elijah Evans, said, "March because this wasn't right. This was not justice at all and we're marching for justice and we won't stop until we get justice."

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said he will release the video but has not given a specific time or day.

Deters' investigation into the incident is expected to wrap up this week.
