FILE - In this Wednesday, July 6, 2016 file photo, Tawandra Carr, who said she was best friends with Alton Sterling, cries while people gather outside the Triple S convenience store in Baton Rouge, La., where he was shot while selling CDs. Sterling, 37, was shot to death July 5, 2016, as two white officers pinned him to the pavement. The killing was captured on cellphone video and circulated widely online, sparking demonstrations across Baton Rouge. Officers Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II were placed on administrative leave. Neither has been charged. The U.S. Justice Department decided not to charge the two officers, according to a person familiar with the decision who disclosed it to the AP on Tuesday, May 2, 2017. Federal authorities opened a civil rights investigation immediately after the shooting. The Justice Department's decision doesn't preclude state authorities from conducting their own investigation and pursuing their own criminal charges. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
