One of the young men has died and the other "is in critical condition" (123). The shooter was an off-duty police officer named Garrett Tison. He was taken into police custody. 

"February 1" Summary

Justyce writes to Dr. King to tell him that Manny is dead, and he can't continue this way. 

Chapter 15 Summary

Manny's family waits for Justyce to be well enough to attend the funeral. He wishes they hadn't. He wishes he could just leave the funeral but there is a lot of media outside. He worries about what they are already speculating: he or Manny did something to provoke the attack. As the funeral ends, Justyce gets a clearer sense of the "collective sorrow" (126). He sees SJ and her tears, but he also sees Jared and his friends with their families. Justyce believes Jared and his dad are partially responsible for Manny's death because had they not pressed charges, Manny would have gone hiking like planned. When Justyce makes eye contact with Jared, he can feel fury rising within him, but he also sees that Jared's eyes are haunted with despair.
