San Francisco native and passionate BLM supporter Sean Monterrosa was murdered by Vallejo Police June 2, 2020, during a night of protest against police brutality. Sean’s sisters, Michelle and Ashley Monterrosa, were arrested in November for holding a small action in front of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s home. Although charges were dropped, Newsom has yet to act on his statement of being open to meeting with the Monterrosa family to discuss pursuing justice for Sean’s death.
