For Immediate Release:

Today, the family of Jessica Hernandez received a call from Denver Mayor Michael Hancock,
who expressed compassion as he conveyed the results of the Police Departments internal affairs
investigation. This call followed a productive face-to-face meeting on November 16, 2016,
where the family and Denver officials, including the Mayor and Chief White, discussed their
strong desire to bring positive change from such an inexplicable tragedy. The family has
expressed to Mayor Hancock their appreciation for his willingness to grieve and pray with them.
Nevertheless, the Hernandez family will achieve justice for Jessie and continue to advocate for
meaningful police reform. DPDs changed policies on vehicle stops and shooting into moving
vehicles will hopefully prevent future tragedies like the killing of Jessie and other members of
the Denver community. The Hernandez family will continue to work with the community and
Denver to try to bring about positive change and ensure that Jessies death was not in vain.
The Hernandez family holds out hope that no other family or community will have to experience
their pain. They appreciate the compassion and support that the Denver community has shown
as they still try to come to grips with this immense loss. Not a day goes by that they dont think
about and miss their beloved Jessie.
