In 2019, a young Black man named Miles Hall was experiencing a mental health crisis at his home in Walnut Creek, California. His mother called 911 for help – and he was shot by police shortly after their arrival.

On this special episode of Start Here, producer Madeleine Wood meets Miles’ family, and goes on a ride-along with Oakland’s MACRO program, which was created to prevent people experiencing mental illness being criminalized.
