May 9, 2011. Downtown Los Angeles, the corner of Fifth in Spring. Two undercover police officers shoot a man in front of the Alexandria Hotel in a drug arrest gone wrong. The man would later die. The police oversight board would eventually rule that the shooting violated police policy on the use of lethal force.

This photo installation, covering the days of May 9, 10, 11 chronicle the flow of events around this one moment in time.
