Blevins was shot and killed by police last weekend on the city's north side.
Police say he had a gun and ran from officers for several blocks before the shooting.
Protesters have made several demands, including the release of body camera footage of the shooting.
They're also asking for a third-party investigation from outside the state.
Currently, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the shooting.
