Protesters at California Governor’s Mansion Demand Justice for Sean Monterrosa

HeadlineOct 05, 2020

In California, 17 people were arrested Friday during a protest outside Governor Gavin Newsom’s mansion over the June police killing of 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa. Among the people arrested were Sean Monterrosa’s two sisters, Ashley and Michelle Monterrosa. The protest was held to mark the four-month anniversary of Sean Monterrosa’s killing as the family continues to demand justice. Sean Monterrosa was kneeling and had his hands up outside a Walgreens when a police officer in an unmarked car shot him five times through the windshield as police responded to a call of alleged looting during a Black Lives Matter protest in Vallejo.
