Demand the immediate firing of Vallejo police officers for killing rapper Willie McCoy

On Saturday night, 21 year old rapper Willie McCoy, aka Willie Bo, who performed with the group FBG, was shot and killed by six police officers while sitting in his car in the drive through of a Taco Bell.

Vallejo police said an employee called 911 to report that a man was slumped over in his seat.

The statement from the department added that when officers approached Willie McCoy’s vehicle, the “driver began to suddenly move and looked at the uniformed patrol officers.”

The family of rapper Willie McCoy is demanding answers from the Vallejo police department. They believe he was racially profiled and the response of the officers was unjustified.

No one deserves to be shot dead in our communities. We need to talk about community safety in a nuanced way that acknowledges how law enforcement is seen by our communities. We all understand the value of what it means to be safe in our communities and we must understand that police violence is gun violence. We all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Demand the immediate firing of Vallejo police officers for killing rapper Willie McCoy.



Marc McCoy, his older brother, told the Guardian: “There was no attempt to try to work out a peaceful solution.

“Willie was a good person he didn’t deserve that,” his cousin, Levonte Cole, told KTVU.

“I have no words for Vallejo police. They’re supposed to protect and serve. They’re not supposed to shoot to kill.”

His cousin, David Harrison, said in a video posted on Facebook: “You can’t just keep killing us in the street like this. My little cousin was asleep in the car and they shot him 20 times.”
