Plenty of plywood downtown, a new round of murals, focusing on racial justice.

Charleena Lyles is a name well known to us.

Charleena lived and died at Brettler Family Place, one of Solid Ground’s low income buildings at Sand Point.  She was 30, petite, pregnant. She had issues with domestic violence and mental health and had been flagged as potentially dangerous.  She called the police about a suspected burglary.  She had a knife, the police were missing their taser, they shot her 7 times in front of her four children in 2017.
