On April 20, 1999, 18-year-old Isaiah Eamon Bushwick Shoels, a Black senior at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, was murdered during the attack carried out by classmates Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Shoels, who had overcome a childhood heart defect and played football and wrestled, was weeks away from graduating and hoped to attend the Denver Institute of the Arts.

The attack began with failed attempts to detonate bombs in the cafeteria and became a shooting spree that ended in the school library. Survivors say the gunmen found Shoels hiding under a table, directed racial slurs at him, and one of the shooters fatally shot him in the chest. Harris, 18, and Klebold, 17, died by suicide in the library.

Shoels family members believed racial intimidation at the school preceded the killing. His family later left Littleton; his cap and gown were buried with him. Does anyone who knew Isaiah or saw signs of racial harassment at Columbine have information to share?
