Officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims," the statement reads.
"Homicide detectives responded and are conducting a thorough investigation, despite the challenges presented by the circumstances," the police statement says.
That video shows at least eight officers entering the area, some carrying shields, as protesters yell at them. An officer can be heard saying, "Please move out of the way so we can get to the victim. All we are trying to do is get to the victim and provide them aid."
