YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

That summer, Antonio traveled a thousand miles to join the racial justice movement of his generation. He arrived in Seattle during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, known as CHOP. Less than a week later, he was shot and killed there. The case remains unsolved.

In an eight-part podcast series, hosts Sydney Brownstone of The Seattle Times and Will James of KUOW team up with NPR’s Embedded to investigate Antonio’s death. Alongside reporter David Gutman, they track down key figures and eyewitnesses from the night of the shooting and surface crucial evidence that has never been made public.

Who bears responsibility for the shooting? And how did an idealistic protest for protecting Black lives turn into a circle of silence surrounding the killing of a Black teenager?
