On May 17, 2017, Jimmy Smith-Kramer and about 10 friends are celebrating his 20th birthday in Washington’s Olympic park. Smith-Kramer and his friends are all Native American and members of the Quinault Nation. A pickup truck shows up and starts doing doughnuts on the patch of gravel nearby. Soon Smith-Kramer is run over. Saadia and Asad Share the story.
