The family of Brittain held his memorial on the afternoon of July 6 at his high school. Both Crump and Sharpton attended the service, during which they both urged the need for support from all races to end mass police shootings.

"This isn't just about Black children, it's also about brown children and white children and Asian children," Crump said.

After the Arkansas State Police turned over the investigation on Friday, Crump said he's representing Brittain to help flip the conversation surrounding police violence, which is often framed as a primary issue within the Black community. He said he hopes people will begin to acknowledge this type of violence as an experience all ethnicities are prone to witness.

"[This case] is going to be looked at differently because he wasn't a teenager who was a child of color," Crump previously told CNN. "Because we've always said that our white brothers and sisters couldn't fathom their child being killed by the police. That people are supposed to protect them. But that's a reality that parents of children of color literally deal with every day of their lives."

Hunter Brittain was killed UNJUSTLY by police and his family has STILL not received any details from them about the fatal shooting. We must show the world that Hunter Brittain’s life mattered and demand answers and accountability! #SayHisName #JusticeForHunterBrittain pic.twitter.com/HuxjLXMHbT
