A year after fatal shooting of Miles Hall, family presses Walnut Creek for changes

Some noted the bitter irony that the one-year anniversary of the death of Miles Hall came as protests over the killing of another black man — George Floyd, at the hand of a Minnesota police officer — were gripping the nation. Walnut Creek had experienced its own protests and destruction over the previous two days.

And on Tuesday night, friends, family and supporters presented a 90-minute-long Zoom “webinar” program in conjunction with the Miles Hall Foundation to honor Hall, a 23-year-old black man who suffered from mental illness and was killed by Walnut Creek police on June 2, 2019.
