A group of interfaith activists on Monday demanded answers and outside investigations into the death of an Oakland man at Santa Rita Jail, where he was left languishing for three to four days without anyone providing him any meaningful care, a story first exposed in a KTVU investigation earlier this month.
An Oakland man was left for dead for several days at Santa Rita Jail as new allegations are surfacing for the first time that deputies doctored the books to make it seem like they were checking in on him, when in fact, they did not provide any meaningful care, KTVU has learned.
He was in jail because he missed a court appearance after verbally threatening a bus driver in June 2021 for not wearing a mask on the bus. Monk suffered from schizoaffective disorder. The offices of Bonta, Price and Sanchez have not responded to the group and also have not responded to KTVU.
