Fox News
The father of a Black teen who was killed in Seattle's CHOP Zone in the Summer of 2020 is suing the city, claiming that it encouraged lawlessness.
In his suit filed with Oshan & Associates this week, Antonio Mays, Sr., says the city was well aware of the violence in the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest Zone but had abandoned it "without a working plan to provide essential services." His 16-year-old son, Antonio Mays, Jr., was fatally shot after he had traveled there from California for what he thought was a "peaceful protest in support of the Black Lives Matter movement." Kristine Parks is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Read more.
"Sadly, Antonio soon realized that there was nothing peaceful about CHOP," the suit states.
