About this listen

On January 8, 2021, 26-year-old Terron Evans Jr. was found unresponsive in upstate New York. The official ruling? Suicide by overdose. But the autopsy told a different story — no pills, no residue, no signs of overdose. And no real answers.

In this episode of After the Headlines, host Solomon Richberg, LCSW, dives into the facts that don’t add up, the timeline that raises questions, and the mother — Jennifer Baxtron — who refused to stay silent. We explore the red flags in the investigation, the pattern of premature case closures, and the emotional toll of institutional silence.

Terron’s story isn’t just about one young man. It’s about how systems fail Black families — and what happens when a mother turns grief into a movement.

🎧 Plus: Join us Live with Jennifer Baxtron on Thursday, May 22 @ 8PM EST on TikTok.
