Clinton had planned to visit the city, which is still dealing with unrest after an African-American man was shot and killed by police.

But the city's mayor Jennifer Roberts said that she would prefer presidential candidates delay their visits so as to not further tax the city's resources.

Clinton's communications director Jennifer Palmieri said that Clinton had accepted an invitation from faith leaders to visit on Sunday.

"She will plan to visit Charlotte next Sunday, provided circumstances allow. In the meantime her prayers are with the people of Charlotte during these difficult days," she added.

The scheduling change came shortly after Clinton called on North Carolina officials to release dashboard and body camera video of the shooting that left Keith Lamont Scott dead after an encounter with police on Tuesday.

The police department has so far refused to release two videos of the incident unless there is an invoking interest reason.

Charlotte should release police video of the Keith Lamont Scott shooting without delay, Clinton said in a statement on Twitter. "We must ensure justice & work to bridge divides."

Scott, a 43-year-old black man, was shot and killed after police encountered him in a search for another man who was a suspect with an outstanding warrant.

 

In video recorded by Scott's wife and released on Friday by his family, police can be seen shouting for Scott to drop a weapon. Meanwhile, his wife pleads with officers not to shoot her husband. She told them that he had no weapon. Police later said that a gun was found nearby.
