After 16-year-old Tariq Johnson dies from two gunshot wounds, his community is thrown into an uproar. Tariq was black. The shooter, Jack Franklin, is white. In the aftermath, everyone has something to say, but no two accounts of the events line up. In their own words, Tariq's friends, family, and community grapple for a way to say with certainty how it went down.
