District Attorney Pamela Price on Thursday evening announced she is filing charges against the three Alameda police officers involved in the 2021 in-custody death of Mario Gonzalez.
Price made the announcement at a press conference at around 6 p.m. Thursday. The city of Alameda released a statement confirming the charges.'At this time, one of the three involved officers is no longer employed by the City of Alameda . The two other officers currently employed by the City of Alameda have been placed on administrative leave,' the statement read.
Police bodycam video that was released days later showed Gonzalez gasping and crying out as officers pressed their body weight on his back, neck and shoulder, including one officer pressing his knee for several minutes in Gonzalez's back. A coroner's report indicated the cause of death was a combination of drugs along with the physical stress of the altercation with officers.
