Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Boston on Sunday to protest against the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee into his neck for several minutes.

However, the protest — which was peaceful for most of the day — turned ugly once the sun set on Sunday, as some demonstrators clashed with police, and others looted storefronts throughout the city.

Here are photos from Sunday’s demonstrations and their aftermath on Monday.

Earlier Sunday, the leaders of a large group of protesters are pictured as they marched from Nubian Square to Boston Police Headquarters. They were led by local religious leaders including members of the Boston Baptist Ministers Conference, Black Ministerial Alliance, Ministers in Action and the Massachusetts Council of Churches. According to a post on Facebook by the organizers, the demonstration was to pray for all the hurt and brokenhearted, to protest the continued killing of Black people, and to call forth justice.Jim Davis/Globe Staff
