Summary
Antonio Mays Jr., 16, traveled about 1,000 miles to Seattle in the summer of 2020 to join the racial justice protests centered on the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or CHOP.
Less than a week after arriving, Mays was shot and killed inside the protest zone, turning his trip to the movement into a still-unresolved homicide case.
The killing remains unsolved six years later, underscoring the lack of closure in one of the most prominent deaths linked to Seattle's 2020 CHOP encampment.
