They walked up to him, they put him in this choke hold, slammed him on the ground, and shot him in the face. CHIME #2 (skip ahead 1 minute 40 seconds) When my mom got there, they still wouldn’t tell us where he was. I was getting ready to go up under the tape and he stopped me. I’m like, “I’m looking for my son, his name’s Jamar. They say he just got shot. Where is he? Where is he? Where is he. And the police say, “I can’t tell you that.” By this time there’s a lot of people out there. (SOUNDS FROM THE SCENE) And she pled, my mom was near getting on her knees to ask them, "Please, tell me where my son is. Please. Why won't you?" "What do you mean?" I'm like, "That's my baby. What are you talking about? My son, he's just been shot. You got to tell me." And everybody now is getting ready to riot now.

He didn’t curse them, he didn’t fight back, he didn’t do nothing. He just said, "I just want to go home and go to sleep." Cheney comes up, they search him and put him in the front seat of the police car. it was in June 99, 90 degrees, windows rolled up, they didn’t’ leave the air conditioner on it. So, he just sat there in that car. My son is handcuffed behind his back, with the lap seatbelt on, the seatbelt across his shoulder. And one of them hollered and I think it was Cheney, "Gun. I see a gun." The windows were tinted, and they are standing closer than we are and one of them allegedly see a gun and they shot him 14 times at point blank range. https://www.dcpofficial.com/archie-elliott CREDITS: Host: Adell Coleman & Chris Colbert Executive Producers: Adell Coleman & Chris Colbert Edited & Sound Design: Byron Hunt Producers: Jacqueline Garofano and Ryan Woodhall Associate Producers: Maria Beckett & Quinton Hill Content Distribution: DCP Entertainment See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"Say Their Name" focuses on the assault and killing of unarmed Black people by police and in ‘Stand Your Ground’ states, highlighting incidents throughout the United States. Serving as a memorialization for these individuals, we learn about who these people were through the words of the people that knew them best, while also helping us understand what these situations do to their families and communities, not only in the immediate aftermath, but also what happens when the news-cycle moves on and the social media attention shifts focus. We offer solutions, spread awareness and support these families & communities, including a crowdfunding campaign throughout the series to directly benefit the families impacted by these incidents (they receive 100% of those proceeds), so that we can make an immediate tangible difference. https://gf.me/u/yk5y4f See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
