In a similar fashion to George Floyd's murder, a tragedy that sparked international attention, 19-year-old Anton was a victim of restraint and neck compression while authorities tried to subdue the teenager and shackle him.

The cause of his death was initially ruled out as "undetermined" by former Maryland medical examiner David Fowler.

A white civilian was also involved in the sour struggle that killed the young man.

5 The family of Anton Black filed a federal lawsuit in 2020
Struggle La Lucha@StruggleLaLuchaCoverup in #AntonBlack case22Coverup in #AntonBlack case https://t.co/y44e2XmGzh Nearly two years after the tragic murder of Anton, his family filed a federal lawsuit against the officers, the medical examiner, and the two police chiefs who overlooked the incident. The lawsuit said:
"Anton Black died because police employed excessive force, laying him out prone on his stomach, lying on top of him for approximately six minutes and approximately five minutes after he was handcuffed, and folding his legs towards the sky in a manner that further compromised his ability to breathe." Black's family was joined by the Coalition for Justice for Anton Black, a collective formed after the young man's death.
