A Statement From Mayor Victoria Woodards on Today’s Update
From Attorney General’s Office on Manuel Ellis Case
TACOMA, Wash. -- The City Council and I continue to stand in support of the requests of the Ellis family and the Tacoma community for the State of Washington to complete a thorough and independent investigation into the death of Manuel Ellis. While it does not ease the grief of those waiting, we appreciate the Attorney General establishing a firm deadline for a charging decision in this case.
