Trevor Seever, 29, a resident of Modesto, California, was shot and killed on December 29, 2020, near the Church of the Brethren in Modesto. The shooting involved Modesto Police Officer Joseph Lamantia.

Officer Joseph Lamantia was fired from the Modesto Police Department and was charged with voluntary manslaughter in 2021; a preliminary hearing was held to determine whether he would stand trial. Trevor’s family filed a lawsuit against the city in 2021 that resulted in a $7.5 million settlement, and they formed the Justice for Trevor Foundation to advocate for police reform and accountability. A Stanislaus County judge later dismissed the voluntary manslaughter charge against Lamantia.
