Mario Gonzalez was murdered by Alameda police in a small public park on April 9th at the corner of Otis Drive and Park Street in Alameda. At that very location on May 15, TeleJaguar and the Oakland Brown Berets held a vigil filled with ritual to remember his life.
The Brown Berets in their signature uniforms helped erect a shrine filled with flowers, photos, and candles. Group members also provided security on the perimeter of the ceremony. Aztec dancers marked the observance with prayers and incense lighting.
