Tyreek's father, Tom, felt the same way. After several weeks of hearing nothing, he went to DCP to help lead a protest. As he camped out near the gates, he spoke with a local reporter. The one-story tan building loomed in the background.

The longer the official silence persisted, the more the circle of people demanding answers expanded. It wasn't just Tyreek's parents and Lamont anymore. On Facebook, people who hadn't even known Tyreek personally started posting about him. A few circulated the graphic photographs of his injuries that Lamont had seen. A hashtag started to spread.

He wore his hair in neat braids, kept his lineup fresh, loved his sneaker collection and Ralph Lauren clothes. And he had a cool car, a green Impala. He loved it, worked on it himself, made sure that it was always as crisp as he was. Quincy and Tyreek spent a lot of time in that Impala together.

In fact, that one was so badly broken that it had protruded from his body. There was a rumor that a footprint was on Tyreek's back, presumably from being stomped. There's nothing that I've seen to suggest these rumors are accurate, but Quincy didn't know what was true. And while he was trying to figure out what had happened, Quincy was also coming to grips with his grief.

A lot of that processing happened through music. Do you remember any of the songs that you wrote around that time? Yeah, I remember some. You willing to give me a couple bars? Tyreek's family had waited two months for answers. They kept being told they'd hear more soon.
