WAUSAU - Hundreds of marchers demonstrated in Wausau at a peace march inspired by the guilty verdict against 16-year-old Dylan Yang in a juvenile homicide case.

Yang was found guilty of fatally stabbing Isaiah Powell, 13, in a February 2015 fight between two groups of boys. Yang will be sentenced to up to 60 years in prison on July 12.

The Tuesday march, which brought busloads of demonstrators from the Twin Cities, is called Save Our Children: A community peace march for healing and reflecting. USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin journalists are covering the event live. Check back for updates.
