On January 23rd, Annette Garcia, a mother of three, was shot to death by Riverside Sheriffs after they received calls that she was suicidal and under duress due to a marriage dispute. Reports by the family and witnesses state that she “posed no harm to the officers involved, yet she was shot at six times until a bullet hit her in the back as she tried to run for cover.” It took over an hour to get medical attention and Annette Garcia died in the arms of her children.
