Justice for Teo writes: Please Join us [on July 14] in a peaceful-family friendly vigil/rally and march for our Brother Teodoro Valencia Jr.. Teo was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend. On March 11, 2016 Teo was wrongfully killed by the Newark Police Department. He was shot intentionally in the back with an AR-15 assault rifle.

Our family's goals are to bring justice for Teo, as well as truth and light to the darkness that the police have been using to mislead and oppress our community. Our demands for this event includes 1.) a retraction and public apology from the Newark Police Department; as well as exposing the officer, prosecuting and firing him. 2.) De-militarize the Newark Police Department. This includes the removal of AR-15 assault rifles and similar combat weapons; as well as training the police to do their job with minimum use of force.
