Family members, demonstrators demand answers after man with machete shot to death by deputies

SACRAMENTO – A demonstration held outside the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday saw advocates demanding change after a deadly deputy-involved shooting.

The family of Jaime Naranjo is calling for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office to release body cam footage of last week's shooting.

"If there was nothing you did wrong, show us, the family and the community what actually happened when Jaime took his last breath," said Berry Accius from the group Voices of the Youth.

The family is also calling for funding for a 24-7 non-police emergency response for mental health calls.
