The demonstration is set for Friday, 19th September at 3:00 p.m., where supporters are expected to turn out in large numbers. Organizers describe the rally as not only an expression of grief but also a demand for answers and action.

Simon, remembered as a young man just beginning to discover life and his purpose, was described by loved ones as full of promise and youthful joy. His family and supporters believe his life was “tragically and maliciously taken by those sworn to protect him”, a statement that has fueled widespread outrage.

The rally, themed under the slogan “Justice for Khaleel Simon”, urges the public to stand together in a show of solidarity. Attendees are being encouraged to come out in their numbers to support the Simon family’s call for accountability and justice.

Organizers emphasize that the demonstration is not only about one young man’s life but also about the wider issues of trust, responsibility, and the protection of citizens by law enforcement.

The event is expected to draw significant attention, with advocates stressing that standing for what is right requires collective voices and visible unity.

Supporters are also using the hashtag #JusticeForKhaleelSimon to raise awareness and mobilize the community across social media platforms.

    This boy died without a cause. If he was engaged in criminal activities then there is a system and the law provides for how he should be handled. He shouldn’t have been shot by a police officer full of rage because his woman made a complaint

    If those sworn to protect us can’t be trusted, then something is seriously wrong.

    This rally is not just about Khaleel, it’s about making sure no other family has to endure this pain.

    Justice delayed is justice denied. Khaleel’s life mattered and we won’t stay quiet anymore.
