Chinedu, or CV as he was called by close friends, was the youngest of five siblings born to Nigerian immigrants. He was a truth-seeker and truth-speaker, as he often expressed in poetry. He was also loved as a son, father, brother, and friend.

Last fall, Chinedu was unarmed and walking down the sidewalk when San Mateo Country Sheriff deputies approached him in Millbrae, California. He asked, "what did I do," and sheriffs responded by tasing him to death.

On the first day of March, the District Attorney of San Mateo County announced that no charges would be filed against the 4 sheriffs deputies and one sergeant. Friends of Chinedu and anti police brutality activists responded with a rally that very day. Amongst our demands: Recall DA Wagstaffe.
