JAY Z: I wouldn’t say I knew him (Kalief). You know, I heard about his story, and I reached out to him, and I met him. Came to my office. The way this all happened was really—we’ll explain that another time, but it was meant to happen. And he came to my office, and I just, you know, wanted to see him and tell him that—give him encouragement for what he had just—for those three years of his life that he was—that he had missed, and, you know, just offer encouragement and anything I could do for him.

To clear up the timeline, he was arrested at 16, case dismissed and released at 19, and ultimately committed suicide at 22.
 
I love that Jay-Z got political and never forgot where he came from. I'm glad he reached out to Kalief. This story is tragic and it pisses me off that there are people in this country that couldn't muster a crumbs worth of empathy for Kalief.
 
Don't understand how this thread doesn't have more replies. This is on Netflix now and it's fucking crazy. Definitely worth watching. It's sickening how this was allowed to happen and the documentary is sad and awful to see.
