A night of violence gave way to a day of mourning Sunday for a man who died after sustaining serious injuries while in the custody of Baltimore police. Over several hours on Sunday afternoon, a steady stream of mourners filed into the Vaughn Green East funeral home for a wake for Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who died a week after an encounter with police left him with grave spinal injuries. Mourners passed by Gray's silk-draped, white coffin where he lay dressed in a white shirt, black pants, white sneakers and an all-white Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap. Scroll down for video .

Barricade: Police stand in helmets near Pratt Street after a march to City Hall for Freddie Gray, Saturday, April 25, 2015 in Baltimore . Roughly 1,200 protesters gathered at City Hall on Saturday afternoon, officials said, to protest Gray's death, which has prompted near-daily demonstrations since he died April 19. Gray was arrested one week before that when officers chased him through a West Baltimore neighborhood and dragged him into a police van. However, a smaller group splintered off and looted a convenience store and smashed storefront windows. A protester tossed a flaming metal garbage can toward police officers in riot gear trying to push back the crowd. Earlier, a group of protesters smashed windows of at least three police cars. Rep. Elijah Cummings, a long-time congressman representing Baltimore's 7th District, told CBS' 'Face the Nation' on Sunday that there is deep frustration over the case. 'Mr. Gray died a week ago. And I think the thing that upset so many people was the fact that here's a young man. We still don't know exactly why he was arrested,' Cummings said. 'We do know that he was hollering out for aid. He was not given aid after being arrested. ... A lot of people are very, very frustrated as to trying to figure out what happened here, and it's very upsetting.'

Police acknowledged Friday that Gray should have received medical attention at the spot where he was arrested — before he was put inside a police transport van handcuffed and without a seat belt, a violation of the Police Department's policy. Gray was arrested after he made eye contact with officers and ran away, police said. Officers held him down, handcuffed him and loaded him into the van. While inside, he became irate and leg cuffs were put on him, police have said. Gray asked for medical help several times, beginning before he was placed in the van. After a 30-minute ride that included three stops, paramedics were called. Authorities have not explained how or when Gray's spine was injured.
