STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Rev. Al Sharpton will hold a press conference Monday night to respond to the grand jury decision in the police shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.

Sharpton's press conference will be held 9:15 p.m. at his National Action Network's headquarters in Harlem.

The grand jury decision in the Ferguson case -- where white Police Officer Darren Wilson is accused of shooting the black unarmed teen -- is expected to be announced Monday evening, according to Brown family lawyerBenjamin Crump.

The Brown shooting,which happened a few weeksafter Eric Garner died in police custody in Tompkinsville, has sparked months of unrest and protests in Missouri.

In the Garner case, a special grand jury convened by District Attorney Daniel Donovan continues to listen to evidence and testimony as it decides on the fate of Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo.

Duringa press conference last week, Sharpton, who has been an advocate for the families of the victims in both cases, said there's not as much tension on Staten Island as there is in Ferguson as the communities await the results.

But, he said, the tension in Ferguson could inflame the situation on Staten Island.
