Job Irving was fatally shot by a gas station clerk in Tacoma in August 2021 following a physical altercation that began when the clerk tried to push Irving out of the store at closing time. Both Irving and the clerk called 911 multiple times. When police failed to show, the clerk took matters into his own hands. No charges were filed by the Pierce County Prosecutor's Office and Irving's family is suing for wrongful death.

- Description
- Sam Jones grew up in Rochester, New York in the 1950s and 1960s with a single mother. When he was 11 he joined the Boy Scouts because he wanted to be in the woods. Jones thrived as a scout. He earned dozens of merit badges and eventually qualified to be an Eagle Scout, scouting's highest achievement. But when he asked community leaders why they had not honored his award with a public ceremony, he was told that his single-parent household didn't set a good example for Black families. Jones went on to earn a college degree and join the Navy where he retired as a Commander. Earlier this year, he finally told the story of his snubbing to friends and family. Even his wife, Cindy, hadn't heard the story. On Monday, Jones will finally get his Eagle Scout presentation in a Court of Honor with six other scouts, young enough to be his grandchildren.
