8:25 p.m.: Demonstrators overtake Mayor Darrell Steinberg's neighborhood, protest peacefully, leave before curfew

The demonstration against police brutality in Sacramento left downtown on Friday evening — and visited the neighborhood of Mayor Darrell Steinberg.

The local chapter of Black Lives Matter organized a "Sit In/Die In" event in Greenhaven just after 6 p.m., and just blocks from Steinberg's home.

Demonstrators laid down in the middle of the road near Greenhaven and Greenstar while others raised a BLM flag or gave away cupcakes to celebrate what would have been Breonna Taylor's 27th birthday. The crowd extended down Greenhaven Drive for at least four blocks, disrupting traffic along Florin Road.

Organizers of the protest did not challenge the city's curfew, however, and wrapped up the gathering a half-hour before 8 p.m. Sacramento police said there were no arrests and no reports of vandalism or theft.

6:15 p.m.: Sacramentans gather for ninth night of demonstrations
