This week on the podcast, we explore what the end of federal oversight at the Albuquerque Police Department means for the city.

Today's episode features the parents of a man who Albuquerque Police shot and killed on April 12, 2011, when two plainclothes detectives killed 27-year-old Christopher Torres, shooting him three times in the back in his family's backyard. Since that day, his parents, Steve and Renetta Torres, have been prominent voices in the push for reform at APD. Executive Producer Jeff Proctor recently met with the Torres's to talk about what they lost 14 years ago, and to get their perspective on the decade-plus of trying to clean up the department that killed their son.

Host: Lou DiVizio

Correspondent: Jeff Proctor

Guests:

Renetta Torres, Son Killed by APD in 2011
