Protesters at California Governor's Mansion Demand Justice for Sean Monterrosa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
