GOOCHLAND, Va. -- Protesters have marched to the courthouse in a Virginia town to demand the release by Virginia State Police and local authorities of bodycam footage of the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old.

News outlets report the marchers went to the Goochland County Circuit Court, which houses the Goochland Commonwealth's Attorney's office.

The circuit court closed at noon on Friday in advance of the march.
