Activist Elijah Lewis was killed in 2023.

He was a beloved member of the Central District community.

His killer was sentenced last month to 35 years in prison.

We talk to two of his close friends Eula Scott Bynoe and Jacqueline Smith Armstrong about Elijah's legacy in Seattle and why they felt compelled to attend the trial.
