Ten years after 29-year-old Black man Alonzo Ashley had a fatal encounter with #Denver Police at the @DenverZoo, his family, friends, and the greater community finally received some justice. Check out our video here--->🎥🎞️
Although no criminal charges were ever filed against anyone involved, on October 1, 2021, a water fountain and cooling station were unveiled near the spot where Ashley took his last breaths, and the Denver Zoo finally apologized for the tragedy. 
On July 18, 2011, Ashley was at the zoo with his girlfriend. The temperature that day was in the 90s, and by late afternoon, according to Ashley’s girlfriend, he was highly overheated and vomited.
