Sen. Smallwood Cuevas asks chamber to honor Renee Good and alleges federal involvement in her death
Summary
On the Senate floor, Sen. Smallwood Cuevas asked members to observe a moment of silence for Renee Good, saying she was "executed ... by federal authorities" in Minneapolis; that claim was presented without response in the recorded proceedings.
Sen. Smallwood Cuevas asked the California State Senate to observe a moment of silence for Renee Good, whom Cuevas described as having been "gunned down in Minneapolis yesterday afternoon" while "exercising her rights to protect her family."
Cuevas said, "She was executed, on a neighborhood street, by federal authorities," and characterized the death as one among "many who has died at the hands of federal authorities, over these last few months." The statement in the transcript is an allegation by the senator and the record shows no on-the-floor response or verification during this session.
The presiding officer accepted the request and the chamber observed a moment of silence. No formal inquiry, referral or further floor action about the incident was recorded in the session transcript.
