This is what happened to your son.

This is who's responsible for it.

This is the action that we took.

After our interview, we reached out to the Seattle Police Department.

We wanted to know when they last communicated with Antonio Sr., but they declined to comment because of the, quote, open murder investigation.

Antonio Sr.

sued the city of Seattle in 2023.

He says the killing of his son was not self-defense, that it was a violent crime, and the city let it happen.

Clearly there's no consequence because that's why I'm here on an interview with you.

Our goal is to speak to as many people who were there witnessing what happened.

And our hope is that some of them might be willing to tell us what actually happened.

This is open in your face.

And there's a reason Antonio Sr.

is so baffled that this case is still unsolved.

It's because so many of the minutes before and after Antonio's death were live streamed.

And many of these videos have been public for years.

The events leading up to CHOP and CHOP itself unfolded in about a month, but it felt like years worth of history were compressed in that time.

It started a few days after George Floyd was murdered, when thousands of protesters showed up in Seattle streets to confront police brutality.

Then police unleashed crowd control weapons.

A standoff formed outside a police precinct.
