- Native American activist Richard Oakes helped lead the iconic 1969 occupation of Alcatraz Island when Indigenous rights activists took over the abandoned federal prison to protest their treatment by the U.S. government.
Oakes’ unique and charismatic activism inspired a wave of similar demonstrations across the country for Indigenous land rights and sovereignty. But then in 1972, he was shot and killed in a flash of violence that cut short his life and activism.
Now, 51 years later, loved ones and investigators discuss his legacy, death and the trial of his killer, a story that has largely gone untold.

After failing to detain Jesse and obtain his true identity, Officer Skeen texted a photo of Jesse to a Lake County Behavioral Health official, but nothing else was done, according to a lawsuit.
Jesse's family only learned of the encounter and photo on Oct. 21, 2022, more than a month later and only after they had been searching the wrong area for him. His body was eventually found about a mile away from the CHP encounter.
This is an edited version of the original CHP dash cam video obtained by The Chronicle.
