Muhammad says the counseling sessions may be helpful for some members of the group, who are drug dealers. If they share their pain, he says, they might change their lives. The youths say that on the day after the shooting, city public works crews dropped loads of gravel on the crime scene and used city trucks to roll mounds of dirt over the tire tracks made by several police cruisers. They placed concrete blocks, now covered with graffiti honoring Aquan, to block the shortcut from Enfield to Magnolia Street. All those things, they say, point to the fact that police, and possibly the city, tried to cover up evidence before state investigators took over the probe of Aquan's death.
Police say they took all the evidence they needed the night of the shooting.
Lewis studies the group as the teenage girl expresses her anger. I feel like I've got all the weight on my shoulders. I'm mad emotional. Lewis talks about her anger for the others. But there's good anger and bad anger.
