Oscar Grant. Michael Brown. Eric Garner. Freddie Gray.
On today’s California Report Magazine, we visit a California suburb grappling with officer-involved shootings.
Vallejo is a diverse East Bay city of about 120,000 people, on the waterfront in Solano County.
In February, Vallejo police officers shot a young black man 55 times after he was found unconscious in his car. Another was killed last year after an officer tried to stop him for riding a bike without a safety light.
Community members are asking for accountability, and demanding answers.
We’re devoting our whole show to reporting from KQED’s Ericka Cruz Guevarra, a producer with the podcast The Bay.
