Lubbockites are invited to gather at 6 p.m. Thursday in Memorial Circle on the Texas Tech campus in honor of Missouri teenager Michael Brown.
The event is part of National Moment of Silence, a nationwide vigil meant to pay tribute to Brown and others killed by police.
An unarmed Brown, 18, was killed Aug. 9 in Ferguson, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb. His killing ignited looting and riots in the city which have continued through the week.
