In the early hours of a Sunday morning in Seattle, on October 2, 2016, the life of 27-year-old Brandon Perry, a Black male, was tragically cut short. The incident that led to his death unfolded in the city's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood, a place typically known for its vibrant nightlife and Romanesque Revival architecture.
