CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – The Latest on protests in Charlotte, North Carolina, over the fatal police shooting of a black man (all times local):

10 a.m.

The mother of a man shot and killed during violent protests in Charlotte says her son’s death has helped others live through the donation of his organs.

Vivian Carr spoke out at a church service on Friday night. WBTV reports (http://bit.ly/2dibjE1) that the mother told a group gathered at Our Lady of Consolation Church that her son Justin was a peaceful person and that several people received his heart, lungs and liver.

Justin Carr was shot during rioting in downtown Charlotte on Wednesday night following unrest over the police shooting of a black man, 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott. Carr died the next day at a hospital, and a man has been arrested in his death.
