July 7, 2017. Twenty-two-year-old Bakari Henderson was enjoying a night out with friends on the Greek island of Zakynthos. Bakari's life would tragically end when a mob chased him into the street and murdered him.
What led to this violent episode? Why did these men attack Bakari, and will his killers face justice for their crimes?
