KYLIE MAR: Horace Lorenzo Anderson Sr., the father of 19-year-old Horace Lorenzo Anderson Jr., who was shot and killed nearly two weeks ago in Seattle's CHOP zone, joined "Hannity" Wednesday night in an emotional interview, where he demanded answers from authorities.

HORACE LORENZO ANDERSON SR: They need to come talk to me and somebody to come tell me something, because I still don't know nothing. And somebody needs to come to my house, and knock on my door, and tell me something that, you know-- I don't know nothing. All I know is my son was-- he got killed up there. And it's just like, this a 19-year-old. No, that's Horace Lorenzo Anderson. That's my son.

KYLIE MAR: Anderson claimed that not only had the police not reached out to him, but it took days for him to even get to see his son's body at the hospital.

HORACE LORENZO ANDERSON SR: It's been almost two weeks. I haven't heard from nobody. Nobody called. They still ain't. Nobody called me. It's easy to come forward, you know, detectives, say hey, excuse me-- knock on my door-- excuse me, let me tell you what happened about your son, or let me-- I don't know nothing. I had to find my son. They wouldn't even let me see my son that night. It took me a whole week before I could see my son.

KYLIE MAR: Seattle police cleared the protest zone on Wednesday, but it was too late for Anderson's son.

HORACE LORENZO ANDERSON SR: Somebody should have helped my son. He needed help. He needed paramedics. He needed-- he needed the police to come. If somebody, man-- somebody, who was supposed to go in there and help my son.
