‘Filled with gratitude’: 12 honored with keys to city during Antioch mayor’s final address

During a standing-room-only event at city hall, outgoing Antioch Mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe gave his final address this week and awarded various city leaders keys to the city.

Hernandez-Thorpe spoke about each of the recipients on Monday, noting their contributions to the city of Antioch, especially during his challenging four-year mayoral term that included a global pandemic, numerous death threats to him, and an FBI investigation of the city’s police department that led to multiple federal indictments and state charges of police officers.
