Christie Ileto has more.

"All lives matter and we believe in what happened to Freddie Gray and what happened to him," said Kiara Palmer.

Baltimore's seen 12 days of protests since the police custody death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.

"We're going to get justice one way or the other but we have to do it the right way. We can't burn down our community," said Carmelo Anthony.

Tensions Monday exploded into violence. Riots swept the city. Pockets of Baltimore burned to its knees, prompting NBA star Carmelo Anthony and music mogul Kevin Liles to come home.

"Disturbed is not the word. My whole family is here. I was worried. I was concerned as a father. I am a son of the city and I wanted to come down and make my presence felt," Liles said.

Hundreds pack City Hall demanding answers as the police investigation into Gray's death is turned over to the state's attorney---answers many are hoping will bring closure and ease a city on edge.
