DESCRIPTION:Celebration and March:\n\n	Birthday Memorial Celebration \n	When:  5:00pm, 
 Wednesday, April 17, 2013 \n	Where: 2116 Allston Way (near Shattuck Ave.) 
 in Berkeley\n\n	and  \n\n	Press Conference and delivery of the Public 
 Records Act Request to the 	police station. \n	Where:  2100 Martin Luther 
 King Jr. Way, Berkeley\n	When:  6:15 PM\n\nOn what would have been Kayla 
 Moore’s 42nd birthday, we invite all justice (and fun) loving people to 
 join us for a remembrance and get-to-know you event in celebration of her 
 life. You see, we are also forging a movement to demand justice for Kayla 
 Moore. Since the night of February 12, 2013 when police claimed to be 
 responding to a call about a “disturbance” on the 5th Floor of the Gaia 
 Building in downtown Berkeley, the BPD has provided almost no information 
 about what happened that night. According to the Coroner’s office, the 
 BPD has asked that a “hold” be placed on the release of the autopsy 
 report. They say it could take 6-8 months to release.\n\nQuote by Elysse 
 Paige- Moore, stepmother:  “Xavier had a very difficult life, but an 
 indomitable spirit. He suffered with mental illness from an early age, 
 struggling throughout his life with paranoid schizophrenia and 
 posttraumatic stress syndrome. He also had a near genius I.Q. and a 
 photographic memory. He was a poet and a gifted singer and oh could he 
 dance, even at 350 lbs! He was generous, and often took in homeless friends 
 giving them shelter and cooking 3 course gourmet meals for them. Despite 
 his challenges, he was resilient and resourceful. His spirit was 
 unbreakable and served as an example to everyone he touched.”\n\n\n 
 Demands of the Berkeley Police Department:\n Release the police reports on 
 the incident that took place on February 12th, 2013.\n Release the 
 Coroner’s Report.\n Publish the investigation results.\n\nBackground:  
 \nAs details of the tragic death of 41 year old Berkeley resident Xavier 
 Christopher Moore in police custody begin to emerge, residents are asking 
 why this person died and why police are slow to release information in this 
 case.\n\nAccording to Berkeley Police, officers were dispatched for a 
 mental health evaluation at about 11:50 pm on February 12, 2013, although 
 neighbors on the same floor heard no disturbance until the police arrived.  
 \n\nAfter officers appeared at Moore's residence the situation escalated, 
 and shortly thereafter Moore died in police custody.  Neighbors observed 
 officers carrying Moore on a gurney, unconscious and in restraints, out of 
 the building.  In a city that is known internationally for disability 
 awareness, social consciousness and protection of civil liberties, it is 
 unacceptable that a mental health evaluation should end in death. The 
 District Attorney says that since this is not an officer involved shooting, 
 they are not even investigating the case. We find all of this 
 unacceptable.\n\nWe are calling on the Berkeley Police Department to 
 release the police reports and the Coroner’s Report, and to publish the 
 investigation results on the incident that took place on February 12th, 
 2013. If misconduct has occurred, officers must be disciplined. If it was a 
 failure of policy and administration, the public must be allowed to analyze 
 the case and to assist in addressing this breakdown in city services. In 
 any case, we demand that the Berkeley Police Department comply with Public 
 Records Act requests and that they make information about that night’s 
 events available to the public as quickly as possible.\n\n
