Palmdale community holds rally for Robert Fuller, demanding justice and an arrest in his death
PALMDALE, Calif. - Members of the community held a ‘Justice for Robert Fuller’ rally Wednesday afternoon to demand justice in his death.
Over 50 people gathered near Palmdale City Hall calling for an arrest, after Fuller was found dead hanging from a tree in Poncitlan Square near City Hall last week.
Fuller was found with a rope around his neck about 3:40 a.m. June 10 in Poncitlan Square, across from Palmdale City Hall.
A preliminary report from the coroner office shows Fuller death might have been a suicide, although an official cause of death has not been made.

The community says Fuller was killed and did not hang himself. They want an arrest to be made immediately.
On Monday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva vowed to conduct
a thorough investigation into the death -- with cooperation from state and
federal law enforcement.
Villanueva said he had called state Attorney General Xavier Becerra and reached out to the FBI, whose civil rights division will also monitor the investigation.
