Their Brother’s Keeper: How Sean Monterrosa's Sisters Are Fighting to Keep His Name Alive
In June, police shot and killed Monterrosa outside a Walgreens. Nine months later, his sisters are still looking for justice.
This week marks the nine-month anniversary of when a police officer shot and killed Sean Monterrosa outside of a Walgreens in Vallejo, CA. Monterrosa was 22 years old and kneeling with his hands up when he was shot through the windshield of an unmarked police car. Later, released body-camera footage showed that the officer realized what he’d done and said, “This is not what I fucking needed tonight.” The disregard for Monterrosa’s humanity couldn’t be more evident.
