Two police officers—Detective Gomez, a Latina woman, and Detective Wilkes, a white man—ask Starr about the events surrounding Khalil’s shooting. Starr recounts everything that happened, although she can’t help but think that Gomez doesn’t believe the officer forced Khalil out of the car. Starr begins to get upset and her mother motions for her to leave, but she insists on finishing the interview. She answers a few more questions about how Khalil moved to open the door after the officer left the car, but is blindsided by questions about whether Khalil sold narcotics and if he and Starr had anything to drink at the party. Lisa and Starr leave the station feeling certain that the investigation of the officer who shot Khalil will not be fair.
