Public Complaint No. 1652480074 - 264775792

No one is able to get any information/video/body cam/released for this death by police /murder. June 9th 2020 It is Terris Goodwin’s prayer that people’s hearts will soften and get the message that was shared Friday evening during a peaceful rally on behalf of Michael Dean. Goodwin was one of the protest’s organizers and speakers at the event, held at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the Temple Municipal Building. Estimates of the crowd in the warm afternoon sun ran between 500 and 700 people. After the formal protest, marchers made their way to the Temple Police Department. Dean was shot in the head and killed on Dec. 2, 2019, by then Temple Police Officer Carmen DeCruz during a traffic stop, which Dean was not armed and was trying to pull into a well-lit area, according to an investigation. His death was one of several black men who died by way of a police shooting, with national attention focused on the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The message speakers shared in the local events was that black lives matter and unity and softened hearts need to overcome the world’s hatred and lies — in Temple and around the world, Goodwin told the Telegram.
