Her tire blew out. She pulled into a gas station, locked the doors, and waited for her family to come help.
When police arrived she was unconscious in the driver's seat.
They broke the window and fired twenty-three shots into the car.
Tyisha Miller. Riverside, California, December 1998. She was 19.
She was hit twelve times. Four officers fired.
No one was charged with anything. A grand jury declined. The Justice Department reviewed it and closed it.
The four officers were eventually fired by the city — and the police union fought that, too.
A nineteen-year-old waiting for roadside assistance, asleep behind a locked door, in a car that was not going anywhere.
Twenty-three shots. Riverside changed its entire police department after this, under state supervision. That is what it cost.
You know what happened to Tyisha Miller. But what happened to the hundreds of other cases that never became national headlines?
We went looking. The result is 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For—a collection of cases that deserve more than a paragraph in an archive.

If you ask me about Michigan football, I’d say I’m not a fan.
I f you asked me On a deeper level, i’d say I hate everything about that ugly-ass team. The colors, the fans, the entire program. Watching them fail brings me an unexplainable amount of joy.

A 24 year old from Chicago who still lives with his parents spent months studying sports betting books and found a legal edge in football parlays. He won $800,000 across two Caesars casinos. Caesars voided every ticket and sent his $50,000 stake back instead. Two state gaming commissions sided with Caesars. He is now suing them in federal court.
– Thomas McPeek is a 24 year old from suburban Chicago who lives with his parents.
– He spent months reading sports betting publications and studying parlay structures, bets where multiple events all have to happen to produce a win.
– He identified what he believed was a consistent edge in certain football wagers where Caesars was pricing odds in ways that gave a sharp bettor an advantage.
– In August 2024 he walked into the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond Indiana with roughly $30,000 and placed hundreds of small bets at self-service kiosks over the course of a week.
– He won $350,000.
– In September he moved to the Isle Casino in Bettendorf Iowa also owned by Caesars and won another $450,000.
– He placed his bets in small amounts at kiosks specifically to avoid drawing attention.
– Total winnings across both casinos: $800,000.
– When McPeek returned to collect at Horseshoe in October 2024 his winning tickets were voided.
– Caesars said he had violated their house rules by coordinating bets across state lines and by structuring his wagers in small amounts.
– Caesars refunded his original $50,000 stake. They kept the rest.
– One casino had already paid him before catching on. Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City Indiana paid him $127,000 in winnings then asked him never to return.
– McPeek filed complaints with gaming regulators in both Indiana and Iowa. Both sided with Caesars.
– In 2025 he filed a civil lawsuit against Caesars in US District Court in Nevada.
– Caesars filed a motion to dismiss in July 2025 arguing the lawsuit was filed in the wrong jurisdiction and that McPeek had agreed to their terms when placing his bets.
– "It's not like I can snap my fingers and make the bets win," McPeek told CBS News. "They still have to win."
– The case is still ongoing.
