Five years ago, when 17-year-old Jessica Hernandez was shot and killed by Denver police, Millete Birhanemaskel opened the doors of her Whittier Cafe so that community members could come inside, gather and grieve. “Dozens and dozens” of people showed up that day, Birhanemaskel said. They passed a microphone to pay tribute. Some who had the floor just stood and cried. “The fact that we can’t even tell people, ‘Come home, let’s have a family meeting, just get it all out …,” Birhanemaskel said on Tuesday.
