Justice for Mario & Gonzalez family
Donation protected
Update as of 04/27
Our family was able to finally see the bodycam footage that Alameda police finally released to the public on 04/27/21. Our fight for justice remains re-affirmed after what we witnessed. Continue to hold us in your prayers and stand in solidarity with us and all the families whose loved ones have been killed by police.
On the morning of April 19th, Alameda Police killed our beloved Mario.
Mario was only 26-year-old when they killed him. He leaves behind four-year-old little Mario who will now grow up without his father in his life. Mario was also a caring big brother to Efrain and Jerry. Mario was the principal caretaker of his mom and Efrain who has autism. He had his whole life ahead of him and they robbed him from his family and community.
APD released a statement saying that Mario suffered a medical emergency while in their custody, but Mario was healthy and suffered no medical conditions. APD has refused to provide any information on what actually occurred that morning, including denying us access to see Mario’s body to conduct our own investigation. Our mom has not seen her son, a horrible pain no mother should ever go through.
Our demands:
A thorough and unbiased criminal investigation into the murder of Mario Gonzalez
A complete and unbiased investigation of the police officers and the APD's policies, training, and supervision of these officers
Release the records and the names of the officers involved as required by California law SB 1421
We want citizen-led alternatives to police for crises response
Mario was not a violent person. Mario was kind. He helped my mom take care of our brother. He wouldn’t hurt anyone. Our family needs answers.
