Demanding Justice -- Black Lives Matter Sacramento Weekly Blog Update

November 22nd marked one month that Adriene Ludd was murdered by the Sacramento Sheriff department. During that month, the family hasn't received any information on the death of their loved one.
They don't know how many times Adriene was shot.
They don't know who the officers names are that shot him.
They don't know why his body was left out on the ground uncovered for over 11 hours.
They don't know why, when he reached the coroner, he was again left out for 24 more hours. Forcing the family to have to cremate him.
The only things that this grieving family does know is that the imagery of Adriene that the media and sheriff department released to the public, was no where near accurate.
