A protest against Alameda County's new district attorney Pamela Price is set for Monday over her handling of the fatal freeway shooting of 2-year-old Jasper Wu.
OAKLAND -- A rally is planned in Oakland to protest Alameda County's new district attorney Pamela Price over her handling of the death of Jasper Wu, a two-year-old shot and killed on an Oakland freeway in 2021.
One of those supporters is Brenda Grisham, who has never met the Wu family but she feels their pain. She, too, lost her son to gun violence in Oakland in a 2010 shooting near their house. One of the bullets struck and killed 17-year-old Christopher LaVell Jones. Bob Yee is co-organizing the"Justice For Jasper" protest. He said that, after the Wu family recently met with Price, they worried they won't get justice.
"There's nothing that our justice system can do that will relieve or remove the pain of losing their child. Nothing," Price said in the video released by her office via social media.
