Change.org - He was shot and killed while kneeling

Police shot and killed 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa while he was kneeling in front of a Walgreens. An officer with the Vallejo Police Department thought Sean had a gun and fired the fatal shots. But Sean had a hammer tucked in his waist. The community now wants justice. "Too many young Black and Brown men have died at the hands of the Vallejo Police Department," write organizers. "The whole world is watching now." Add your name to help the community get justice for Sean.

Sean Monterrosa, 22, was on his knees with his hands raised when he was fired at five times and killed by a Vallejo police officer on Tuesday, June 2. It was the first confirmed death at the hands of law enforcement in California since the death of George Floyd. The people of Vallejo deserve transparency and justice! Too many young Black and Brown men have died at the hands of the Vallejo Police Department. We live in a critical moment following the death of George Floyd. The whole world is watching now. We stand in solidarity with the family of Sean Monterrosa. We call for full transparency by the Vallejo Police Department. We demand the release of any body camera or surveillance footage from the fatal shooting NOW!
