Kevin Epps was sentenced to six years and eight months for involuntary manslaughter in the 2016 shooting of his former brother-in-law.
He created the documentary "Straight Outta Hunters Point" in 2003, and his film "Sucker Free City," directed by Spike Lee, aired on Showtime. In 2024, he took over editorship of the San Francisco Bay View National Black Newspaper, and just last month, the Society of Professional Journalists of Northern California awarded him the Silver Heart Award for revitalizing the paper when it was "on the brink of closure." The award noted his work in Black media and mentoring members of the community.
