๐ Day One of 12 Days of Christmas: Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera
This is Day One of 12 Days of Christmas on Black, Brown, & Unsolved.
On September 10, 2023, Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera, 29, called 911 and said he planned to take his own life.
When police arrived, he was still breathing.
What happened next was captured on body-camera footage โ and while this case has officially been ruled a suicide, there are questions that remain unanswered.
In this episode, we walk through the timeline, the decisions made by responding officers, and why โ even with an official ruling โ this case does not feel truly solved.
๐ง New episodes drop daily through Christmas Eve as part of 12 Days of Christmas.
