Riot video, audio & the latest in the Freddie Gray case

More than three months after Freddie Gray died, and nearly as far removed from the riots that erupted after his funeral, Baltimore's recovery continues.

Over the past weeks, a number of stories emerged — either in the city's recovery, surrounding the case against the officers accused in Gray's death, or new revelations from the onset of the unrest.
