Killed by Police: Paul Castaway Remembered

On July 12, 2015, Denver Police officer Michael Traudt fatally shot 35-year-old father of one and Rosebud Sioux tribal member, Paul Castaway, after responding to a mental health crisis help call placed by Castaway’s mother. Despite struggling with the trauma since the tragic killing, Castaway’s family has been instrumental in forming support networks with families who’ve lost their loved ones to police terror.
