A teen was killed at a Seattle protest. New video evidence shows what really happened
David Gutman, Sydney Brownstone, Will James
An 18-month investigation by The Seattle Times, KUOW and NPR's Embedded podcast and a review of more than a dozen videos from the night of the shooting reveal the most comprehensive view to date of how the chaotic scene unfolded. And they show how a Black teenager who came to join the civil rights movement of his generation — in a zone abandoned by police — ended up killed by a protest movement that thought he was a threat.
Baby Ladoo's grandmother, Hanifa, rocks the hammock where the 5-month-old stirs. His mother Mariam, 17, says her son was born prematurely at around seven months gestation. She couldn't afford follow-up care, so she bought him home and is hoping for the best. About 1 in 4 babies in this fishing settlement of Rehri Goth are born prematurely, nearly double the national rate of 14% — and that's one of the world's highest. Scientists in a nearby university say they may have uncovered a bacteria that acts as an indicator of whether a women is likely to birth full term or pre-term.
