Called for the council to agendize removal of Commissioner Benjamin Alba from the Parks Commission, alleging Alba killed Diego Rios during a compliant traffic stop using an illegal chokehold and prone restraint ruled a homicide by the LA County Medical Examiner.

Detailed the circumstances of Diego Rios's death, noting Alba was hand-selected by this council, that the death was ruled a homicide, and that Fontana's municipal code allows removal of commissioners at the mayor's pleasure.
