Mother of Brawley teen killed by El Centro PD seeks justice

Abraham Retana spoke with the teen's mom and shares what she wants for justice.

BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA) - The mother and friends of a Brawley teen killed by the El Centro Police Department (ECPD) in October of last year held a protest over the weekend.

Alma Urena, the mother of 14-year-old Mike Jimenez Jr., and friends gathered in Brawley Saturday for their fourth "Justice for Moso" protest.

Urena says there's only one way justice would be served.

"My son passed away. They get a penalty too...should be in prison. I believe they should be in prison, and they should be doing time for their crime. Because this was a crime, this wasn't self-defense," Urena explained.

Jimenez was killed by ECPD last October after a car chase, that started in Brawley, ended on Main Street in El Centro.

Urena said her son didn't deserve such a tragic ending.

"I understand whatever was wrong, or the situation, but he didn't deserve the death penalty over any of this. He deserved to live and to live life still and he was only 14," Urena expressed.

Urena says she will continue fighting until she finds justice for her son.
