NPR's 'Embedded' Investigates Unsolved Death of Teen at Seattle Protest
NPR, in collaboration with KUOW and The Seattle Times, is launching an eight-part podcast series titled 'We Keep Us Safe' as part of its 'Embedded' program. The series, premiering on June 11, delves into the unsolved death of Antonio Mays Jr., a 16-year-old who was shot and killed during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) in Seattle in the summer of 2020. Antonio had traveled over a thousand miles to participate in the racial justice movement. The series is hosted by Sydney Brownstone of The Seattle Times and Will James of KUOW, with contributions from NPR's Embedded team and reporter David Gutman. They aim to uncover new evidence and testimonies from key figures and eyewitnesses present on the night of the shooting.
