Good afternoon!
A team led by Will Jarrett worked for months on today’s project – documenting every police shooting since 2000. It’s a great piece of work. As you can see we have scanty personal information in some cases so if you have some, please send it to us at will@missionlocal.com.
Thank you to Molly Oleson for all of the wonderful portraits.
The numbers – of those experiencing mental health issues, of victims so isolated no one claimed their bodies – offer a lot to think about. The interactive includes different ways to search the data.
Be well,
Lydia
