O’Shae Sibley, a gay Black man, was fatally stabbed at a Brooklyn gas station. He and his friends were vogueing when some men approached, called them homophobic slurs, and told them to stop dancing. O’Shae was stabbed after he stood up for his friends.

Jordan Neely was a New Yorker. He was a person. When he began to suffer from mental illness the city’s social safety net failed him, as it had failed countless others. When he exhibited signs of his mental illness in public he was murdered on the F train.

Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived.
