The Halloween Murder of Actor Anthony Dwain Lee
Manage episode 380598541 series 3372828
CW: This episode focuses on the death of an innocent Black man at the hands of the LAPD
A Beverly Hills mansion, Halloween weekend, a costume party...all the ingredients for what should have been a fun and celebratory evening. And for Anthony Lee, it did start out that way. He was on top of the world having just wrapped an acting role on NBC's "ER" as well as becoming a leader in the Buddhist organization he'd been a part of for many years. But what began as an evening partying with friends ended with Anthony dead on the floor and conflicting reports as to what exactly happened.
