Neighbors speak out after Austin officer fatally shoots youth
by ansel/mediahacker.org Wednesday, May. 13, 2009 at 4:20 PM

Early on Monday, May 11 18-year-old Nathaniel Sanders was fatally shot by Austin Police officer Leonardo Quintana at the Walnut Creek Apartment Complex in East Austin. I arrived at the scene at about noon and spoke to residents who were gathered outside. Listen below.

These voices are not being heard enough right now, as the longstanding cycle of Austin police violence against youth of color continues. Please share and re-broadcast.
