=====================================================================
Alameda County has a new District Attorney, Pamela Price. She ran on a reformist platform, and one of her first acts as DA was to reopen eight cases of police abuse in Alameda County. Unfortunately Erik Salgado’s case was not one of the cases that was reopened.
22-year-old Erik Salgado was murdered when plain-clothed California Highway Patrol officers in an unmarked vehicle shot 40 bullets into a car in East Oakland on June 6, 2020. Erik Salgado’s girlfriend, Brianna Colombo, was also in the car and injured. The lives of the officers were not endangered in any way when they recklessly opened fire in a residential area, on the same block as Elmhurst Middle School.
Please join the family of Erik Salgado by adding your name to the petition calling on DA Price to reopen the investigation into the murder of Erik Salgado by CHP!
Erik had his whole life ahead of him and had so much to learn and grow. There’s not a day that goes by that his loss hasn’t been felt in the life of his daughter Liliana, Erik’s parents, siblings, and the whole family. Price has said that her tenure is “the start of the reckoning Alameda County has asked for holding people accountable for their misconduct.” That reckoning cannot happen without Justice for Erik.
In addition to demanding justice for Erik Salgado, we also invite you to join the families of Steven Taylor and Mario Gonzalez this week to commemorate their angelversaries.
