The killing of a Hmong American man by state and Siskiyou County law enforcement officers during evacuations from the Lava Fire last month has led to mounting calls for an investigation into the man s death, attracting attention from politicians and activists from beyond the region.
Representatives of the local advocacy group Siskiyou Hmong Americans United 4 Justice said Friday they will be holding a vigil demanding justice for Soobleej Kaub Hawj, the 35-year-old farmer who was shot and killed by law enforcement officials on June 28 as he and his family fled the Lava Fire. Official accounts of the report claim Hawj brandished a gun, although activists say eyewitness reports contradict the law enforcement narrative.
The clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. More than 1,000 doses are being made available, although slots are filling steadily since the clinic was announced Wednesday afternoon.
A total of 7,630 Siskiyou residents have received a two-dose vaccine, public health representative Jonathan Himbert told the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday morning, representing about 18% of the population. He said he s expecting a big surge after the April 15 clinic.
Siskiyou County moved to the less restrictive orange COVID-19 reopening tier on Wednesday, and active cases have dropped dramatically over the past month. As of Tuesday evening, the public health department reported just five active cases on its COVID-19 information dashboard, down from 41 on March 1. Siskiyou County reached its peak of active coronavirus cases in January, when it reached 114 on Jan. 8.
