Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage & Reckoning

The shooting of a white couple at the hands of an alleged Black assailant makes headlines and Boston's facade as a progressive city begins to slip as its unsavory legacy of racial violence and segregation again comes to the fore; tensions escalate as police descend upon the Black community, arresting their first suspect - a Black man in Mission Hill whose possession of an Adidas tracksuit puts him in their crosshairs.

After evidence against their first suspect falls apart, the Boston Police Department target a second suspect and hold him on an unrelated charge; newspapers vie to tell Chuck's story as media and police ignore issues in his version of events.

Two months after the murder, Chuck commits suicide and revelations emerge from his brother; troubling errors in the police investigation also come to light and the Black community responds in anger.
