Overview
- At a Wednesday press conference, attorneys for widow Laura Ah Loo said they expect to file a wrongful-death lawsuit in the coming weeks.
- The legal team submitted a GRAMA request for city and agency records and called for an independent investigation into the shooting.
- Lawyers urged reforms to how protests are permitted, staffed, policed and overseen, criticizing the use of armed volunteer peacekeepers.
- Authorities have not charged anyone, the shooter has not been publicly identified or arrested, and prosecutors earlier declined to charge Arturo Gamboa due to insufficient evidence.
- Attorneys named volunteer Matt Alder as the person who fired and urged prosecutors to charge him, an allegation not confirmed by police; the June 14 gunfire injured Gamboa and killed Arthur ‘Afa’ Ah Loo during a march of roughly 10,000 people.
