DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n \nAUGUST 5, 2017 PRESS CONFERENCE AT SANTA CLARA 
 CITY HALL FOR JESUS A. GENEY \n \nTo: Media\nFrom: Justice for Jesus A. 
 Geney\nDate: Saturday, August 5, 2017 at NOON\nLocation: 1500 Warburton 
 Ave., Santa Clara, CA\n \nFamily and community groups continue to demand 
 answers in the death of Jesus A. Geney who, although unarmed and naked, was 
 shot and killed by Santa Clara Police.\n\nThe Family will be holding a 
 press conference with their attorneys at Santa Clara City Hall to announce 
 their investigation and federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of 
 Santa Clara\n \nThe family of Jesus A. Geney is organizing a press 
 conference on Saturday, August 5, 2017 beginning at Noon to demand action 
 from the City of Santa Clara and the Santa Clara County District 
 Attorney’s Office. The rally will take place at the Santa Clara City Hall 
 located at 1500 Warburton Ave., Santa Clara, CA.\n \nOn March 9, 2017, at 
 approximately 5:00 PM, Jesus A. Geney was shot and killed by Officer Collin 
 Stewart of the Santa Clara Police Department. When Mr. Geney was shot, he 
 was wearing only swim trunks (no shirt, no shoes), and was unarmed. Santa 
 Clara Police had been called to Mr. Geney’s residence several times that 
 day, beginning at approximately 9:00 AM because his parents were concerned 
 for his mental well-being and safety.\n\nDespite the Police Department 
 knowing that Mr. Geney was suffering from a psychiatric episode, at no 
 point were paramedics, social workers or other healthcare professionals 
 called in to assist. And at no point did the police attempt to place Mr. 
 Geney in a psychiatric hold.\n\nInstead, the police left Mr. Geney at his 
 residence and, when Mr. Geney, who was in an altered mental state, ran away 
 from his house, he was cornered by police and eventually shot. Mr. Geney 
 was unarmed at the time and essentially naked.\n \nFamily and community 
 members continue to demand answers as why this senseless death had to occur 
 and why the police and city failed to take other steps to assist Mr. Geney 
 and his family. \n\nThe family will discuss their investigation and federal 
 civil rights lawsuit on Saturday.\n \nThis community effort is organized 
 and supported by Justice for Jesus A. Geney; Center for Convivial Research 
 and Autonomy (CCRA); Idriss Stelley Foundation; Stockton's Mobile Response 
 Team (Justice for James Earl Rivera Jr. and Justice for Colby Friday); 
 Justice for Asa Sullivan; Justice for James “Nate” Greer; Alex Nieto 
 Coalition; Justice for Kayla Moore; and Justice for Derrick Gaines.\n\nFor
