ALAMEDA — Under trees bearing a banner with Mario Gonzalez’s face, more than a hundred people gathered Tuesday to share grief over his death in police custody a year ago, as well as resolve to seek justice in his name after the Alameda County District Attorney’s decision not to pursue criminal charges against three officers.
Ericson Amaya, a Deep East Oakland resident and lead organizer with 67 Sueños, joyfully remembered Gonzalez: “Man, if you knew Mario, he would put you up. He would put a smile on your face. If you had a bad day, he was there for you. I went to school, just like many other folks that are here today attended school with Mario Gonzales, and we believe the decisions that the D.A. made are completely unjustified.
“We just felt like we’re being overlooked in a way […] we’re just showing that my brother was a human and he needs to find his justice, one way or another.” Addie Kitchen, grandmother of Steven Taylor, echoed Blanco’s sentiments. “My grandson’s first anniversary was the 18th of April of 2021. And we celebrated his death on the 18th. And then on the 19th, we heard about Mario,” Kitchen said.
