Mark Duggan's aunt has said the family will fight the inquest decision of lawful killing "through the courts" and has called for calm.
On Wednesday, a jury concluded Mr Duggan was lawfully killed when he was shot dead by police in August 2011.
Carole Duggan said: "No demonstrations, no more violence, we will have to fight this and go through the struggle peacefully to get justice."
Mr Duggan's death in Tottenham, north London, sparked widespread disorder.
The killing of the 29-year-old was followed by protests which descended into looting and rioting in the capital and spread to other cities in England.
Following the conclusion of the inquest, the family reacted with anger to the jury's decision that officers had acted within the law.
Ms Duggan called for the Independent Police Complaints Commission to review the case, adding that her family were in turmoil at the outcome.
"The family are still in shock right now about the results of yesterday," she said.
"We are in turmoil and we don't really know what is going to happen at this point."
How did the Duggan jury come to a conclusion that critics say is baffling and perverse?
It comes down to their judgement in the heat of the moment.
Police can't gun down a suspect just because they think he is an armed gangster.
They are governed by the same law as the rest of us, which says we are each entitled to use reasonable force to defend ourselves or another from injury.
Reasonable force depends on the circumstances.
The shooter told the jury he believed Mark Duggan was holding a gun and was going to pull the trigger.
Even though the jury found that Mr Duggan probably threw away the gun as police surrounded him, eight of them concluded the officer's use of force was proportionate because of his perception of the threat.
That's why a majority decided Mr Duggan was lawfully killed.
The Met Police Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, offered his sympathy to the family and will meet with community leaders in Haringey later.
But Ms Duggan confirmed there are no plans at present for her family to discuss the case with police officials.
After the inquest concluded, Ms Duggan took to the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice and shouted: "No justice, no peace."
She explained the slogan was about the continued fight to discover what happened when her nephew was shot.
"We will want answers. So it is like the struggle will go on, peacefully," she said.
"But we will not give peace to the authorities until we get justice.
"We will still be here for as long as it takes."
The Met's Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said plans for a further legal appeal were not necessary.
"The legal process has concluded, a coroners court and a jury has come to verdict. There is always the High Court to appeal and that is their decision," he said.
"I don't think that is necessary. I think we now need to look forward and work with communities on how we can strengthen things further, building on the work we have done on the last two years."
He added that the Met Police now wanted improve trust in its officers and communities.
One proposal to emerge from the aftermath is for firearms officers were to wear video cameras in an attempt to be "more open".
Mr Rowley said testing of cameras would begin by 1 April and video evidence could help reduce the need for lengthy investigations into shooting incidents.
'Massive restraint'The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said it was important to note that the jury had considered the evidence.

"Ordinary people looked at it for a very long time and they have found that the police did not act unlawfully," he said.
"What I hope that underscores for us in London is the massive restraint of our police in the way they handle the use of force."
He stated that armed police were called out around 10,000 times in the last four years but had only fired on six occasions.
The former Metropolitan Police chief Lord Ian Blair added that the public should understand the pressures that armed police faced.
"The best example of this was the dreadful murder of Lee Rigby where the firearms officers, were seen by the public to have to react in milliseconds to a life threatening situation," he said.
"And if we can get more people to understand that is what happens, then maybe some of the heat, the desperate heat, of these inquiries would dissipate."
He added that the process to investigate police shootings needed to be "more open" and speeded up.
