Antar Aadil Hall, 16, was shot and killed inside Cardozo High School in Washington, D.C., on January 5, 1995. According to reports, a dispute that began earlier — reportedly involving a girl — escalated near a school entrance. As Antar turned to flee, he was shot three times in the back, collapsed in the lobby, and died at Howard University Hospital less than an hour later.

Police identified a 14-year-old freshman as the shooter; he was taken into custody and charged as a juvenile with first-degree murder. A 20-year-old student, Phillip Y. Baines, who had enrolled at Cardozo weeks earlier, was arrested after admitting he handed a .380-caliber pistol to the younger youth during the confrontation. The 14-year-old later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received juvenile custody until age 21; Phillip Y. Baines pleaded guilty to manslaughter and weapons charges and faced up to 30 years.

Who in the community remembers Antar or has information about what led to the confrontation?
