Before an officer drove into a crowd downtown last night, tensions were already high between the public and Tacoma PD. The department is at the center of a state investigation into the death of #ManuelEllis. We're awaiting a charging decision from @AGOWA.

Ellis was killed in TPD custody in March. The narrative from police hasn't matched videos that were subsequently released, and the investigating agency has been criticized for conflicts of interest, so the state stepped in. @knkxfm has followed this story from the beginning.
Here's some of our coverage, including an obituary by @OtherWillJames and a photo essay featuring a mural honoring Ellis' life.
