Kyle Munson, columnist for the Des Moines Register, described the scene in his YouTube annotation:
Jamodd Sallis, youth pastor at Union Missionary Baptist Church, speaks to mourners on Cottage Street as they gather around a makeshift shrine with their candles held aloft to honor Marcellus Andrews, the 19-year-old who was beaten to death Aug. 19 in Waterloo. Witnesses allege that anti-gay hate speech was used by Andrews' attackers in the beating.
