Several dozen protesters gathered in downtown Los Angeles, California, Monday night causing a disturbance near Los Angeles Police Department headquarters, but authorities are mystified as to who called the protest and what demonstrators were there to protest against.

L.A.’s CBS affiliate speculated that the protest was in response to a police-involved shooting in Texas from over the weekend that left a 31-year-old unarmed black man dead, but demonstrators did not identify that man, Jonathan Price, by name. Instead, protesters gathered in front of LAPD headquarters and then quickly spread out across the neighborhood, breaking store windows and causing damage.
