On a windy afternoon outside the Monroe County Courthouse, Fe Hall told the crowd that had marched there with her about who her son Christian Hall was before he became known to the world for being killed by police.
The 19-year-old Giant employee was preparing for his driving test and saving to buy a car so that he could get a second job. He could be seen walking in Stroudsburg, or along Route 611, to work.
Christian Hall talked to his family members often, from his cousins and extended family to texting or calling his parents on his breaks at work. Christian, who was Chinese, was adopted by Fe and Gareth Hall as a baby.

Video taken from a car with a view of the overpass appears to show Hall with his hands up prior to being shot.
Hall, who may have been considering suicide according to Crump, had a gun with him. He put it on the ground when ordered to do so, the Pennsylvania State police said, but later “became uncooperative and retrieved the firearm and began walking towards the Troopers.” According to the PSP news release, he pointed the gun in their direction, and the troopers fired at him.
The 20-second video that Crump shared shows Hall being shot and falling to the ground, but does not show any approach he may have made toward police before they opened fire.
