Elijah McClain taught himself how to play the violin, and played it to comfort kittens in need of homes.

This week a grand jury in Colorado indicted two police officers, a former officer and two paramedics for manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Elijah McClain.

He was a 23 year-old Black man who was walking home in Aurora, Colo., on the night of Aug. 24, 2019. He had on headphones, to hear music, and wore a ski mask, as his family said he often did - he was anemic and got cold easily.

But someone said he "looked sketchy" and called 911.
