Baltimore is bringing charges against six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man whose death in police custody was ruled a homicide on Friday.

Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced at a Friday press conference that Officer Caesar Goodson, the driver of a transport van carrying Gray, will be charged with second-degree murder in the incident.

Charges against the other officers range from involuntary manslaughter to assault and false imprisonment.

Mosby said that Gray suffered his fatal spinal injury in the back of a police van where he had not been buckled in. She added that officers repeatedly refused Gray's requests for medical attention, and that he arrived at the police station suffering from cardiac arrest.

“Mr. Gray suffered a severe and critical neck injury as a result of being handcuffed and shackled by his feet, unrestrained inside of the BPD [van],” Mosby said. She added that while Gray had repeatedly asked for help after the injury and told officers he couldn't breathe, the officers did not drive Gray to a hospital and instead picked up another prisoner.

“Despite Mr. Gray's obvious and recognized need for medical assistance, Officer Goodson, in a grossly negligent manner, chose to respond to the 1600 block of West North Avenue with Mr. Gray still unsecured by a seatbelt in the wagon without rendering to or summoning medical assistance,” she said.

Mosby also argued that Gray’s initial arrest was illegal, as they did not have probable cause, and said that the knife found on Gray after he had been stopped had been legal.

Gray's death sparked violent riots earlier this week in Baltimore, along with many peaceful protests. A number of people assembled near Mosby cheered as she announced the charges.

“I heard your call for 'No justice, no peace,’ ” Mosby said to protesters, echoing a chant by protesters that has become popular during the wave of police killings of black men from Missouri to New York.
