Hundreds of protesters gathered in Meanjin's King George Square this week to mourn the death of Aubrey Donahue, an Aboriginal man shot dead by police in Far North Queensland on Saturday afternoon.

Donahue was shot and killed after police responded to a call regarding a domestic violence incident at an address on Love Street in the small town of Mareeba, 65 kilometers west of Cairns.

Police alleged that Mr Donahue was armed with a knife and advanced on them during the siege. It has been confirmed that none of the officers present were wearing body-worn cameras.

Chants of "Justice for Aubrey" flooded the streets as protesters rallied together.

"Our heart broke and filled with all the emotions of anger, sadness, everything you could imagine," Aubrey's Uncle, Grayson Elu said.

"It's sad because Aubrey was loved and just like the other families in this situation, he's no longer with us."

Meanjin's vigil saw an outcry of support and heard testimonies from family members of Mr Donahue before the crowd marched to the police headquarters, silently.

Police allege Mr Donahue moved towards the officers while holding a knife, however, have no evidence of this occurring as Deputy Commissioner Mark Wheeler said the police were not fitted with cameras at the time.

"So specialist officers for practicality reasons generally don't, other officers at the scene were wearing body-worn cameras and we have secured that vision of course," he told reporters on Thursday.

"But in terms of the specialist police, we're reviewing those arrangements now."
