Freddie Gray Dies After Baltimore Police Arrest, Sparking Uprising

Freddie Gray, 25, died on April 19, 2015, a week after being arrested by Baltimore police who gave him an unsecured 'rough ride' in a police van, severing his spine. Six officers were charged; all were acquitted or had charges dropped. The death sparked days of uprising in Baltimore. A DOJ investigation found the Baltimore Police Department engaged in a pattern of unconstitutional stops, excessive force, and discriminatory enforcement against Black residents.
