Protesters in the San Francisco Bay Area are demanding justice for 23-year-old East Oakland resident Erik Salgado, who was shot dead by California Highway Patrol officers Saturday night. Police allege Salgado tried to ram their patrol cars during a traffic stop; family members say officers fired 40 rounds indiscriminately at Salgado’s vehicle, killing him and badly wounding his pregnant girlfriend Brianna Colombo. Both passengers were reportedly unarmed. Protesters are demanding police release the names of the officers involved, and for their prosecution.
