Yuvette Henderson Press Conference to Announce Federal Lawsuit on Behalf of Family

Henderson family attorney Dan Siegel, the family of Yuvette Henderson and the Anti Police-Terror Project will be in attendance and available to answer questions.


Background:

On February 2, 2015, Yuvette Henderson - a mother of four and a grandmother - was killed by officers from the Emeryville Police department with an AR-15 military style assault weapon on the Oakland/Emeryville border. Since then the family and the community have worked tirelessly to expose contradictions of The State’s narrative - some of which the media has colluded with - and to achieve basic justice such as transparency with recorded evidence and the release of the autopsy report. In the interest of justice, the family and legal counsel are proceeding with legal action through the courts. The details of such action, as well as the factors that led up to the action will be announced at the press conference.
