Jonny Gammage Dies in Pittsburgh Police Traffic Stop

Jonny Gammage, 31, cousin of Pittsburgh Steelers player Ray Seals, died after being stopped by five suburban Pittsburgh officers in Brentwood, PA. Officers restrained Gammage face-down; he suffocated. Three officers were charged; two trials ended in acquittals, and charges against the third officer were dropped. The case exposed racial disparities in Pittsburgh-area policing and generated sustained local protest.
