Hostilities outside the encampment had been simmering since demonstrators took over Royce Quad last Thursday, setting up dozens of tents and surrounding themselves with metal fences and wood pallets. In a tragic twist, Dana Rivers was actually a very well-known transgender activist. She was in the Navy, was married three times, and worked for a decade as a Democratic political consultant in Orange County before she moved to Northern California, got a teaching certificate, and began teaching in 1991.

She formally pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, though her attorney argued she was factually innocent of the murders as well. Prosecutors claimed the motive was a fallout between Reed and Rivers, on-again, off-again friends, which centered on Reeds’ departure from a defunct all-women motorcycle club known as the Deviants. Reed, a Jackson native, was announced as the new head women’s basketball coach at Charlotte on Thursday afternoon. "Whew!" Tomekia Reed screamed after she was introduced as the new Charlotte women’s basketball coach at a news conference Monday. Reed took the program to new heights by winning five consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference regular season titles and three SWAC tournament titles including back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022.

Working in ceramic sculpture, mixed media, bookmaking, and fiber arts, she has exhibited her work in galleries and shows in the Greater Cincinnati Area including the Hyde Park Art Show. She is a graduate of Northern Kentucky University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Social Work and received her Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Charlotte’s dedication to healing with a more holistic approach has also led her into further studies of ecotherapy, contemplative therapy, and a focus on the mind-body connection. The 2020 championship was the first regular season crown for JSU since 2008, and the 2021 tournament championship earned the first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008. In making the program's second straight appearance in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, and the first as a No. 14 seed, JSU led in the fourth quarter in nearly achieving a historic tournament win over No. 3 LSU. JSU made its return to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 14 seed again to face No. 3 UConn in 2024, where Reed won the respect of hall of fame coach Geno Auriemma.

Dana Rivers guilty: Oakland jury takes less than a day to return triple-murder verdict

In 1999, the suburban Sacramento high school where she worked suspended her after she disclosed her trans status as well as her intention to undergo gender affirmation surgery. Rivers, a beloved educator who’d won a teaching award from the school in 1993, resigned after the school board voted in favor of asking her to leave. She appeared on 20/20 and on NBC Learn and is widely cited in histories of the transgender movement for the spotlight thrust upon her case and the change it enabled.

Reed takes over a Charlotte program coming off its first season in the American Athletic Conference, in which the 49ers finished with a record and 9-9 in conference play. Her style was more traditional than that of Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper, her contemporaries. Rhead's ware was popular in her lifetime, and continues to fetch moderate prices at auction.[2] Jessie Tait, another prolific ceramic designer, worked for Charlotte Rhead.

If it finds she was legally insane, she will be "sent to a mental hospital until she's cured and/or for as long as she'd serve in prison for a triple murder conviction," the paper notes. Tuesday night, some 50 pro-Israeli counter-protesters, many of them dressed in black and wearing white masks, lobbed fireworks at those in the encampment and attempted to dismantle the barricades.

Rivers has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains in prison on no bond. Dana Rivers, 67, is accused of fatally shooting and stabbing Patricia Wright, 57 and her wife Charlotte Reed, 56, as well as Wright's 19-year-old son Benny Diambu-Wright. Police allege Rivers then set fire to the family's home in an attempt to destroy the evidence. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of Patricia Wright, Charlotte Reed, and Benny Diambu-Wright. Earlier this year, their adopted son, identified in court documents as Toto M. Diambu but going by the name Benny Diambu-Wright, graduated from Berkeley High. He had been adopted from West Africa by Patiricia Wright at the age of eight.

Now, the case has moved on to the sanity phase — set to start Dec. 5 — where the same jury will rule whether Rivers was legally insane at the time of the murders. If so, state law dictates she’s sent to a mental hospital until she’s cured and/or for as long as she’d serve in prison for a triple murder conviction. Physical confrontations on UCLA’s campus had been relatively minor until late Tuesday night when pro-Israel counter-protesters lobbed fireworks at the encampment and attempted to dismantle the barricades.

She retired from BUSD in 2015, and began working as a part-time computer prep teacher at Esperanza Elementary School in Oakland. The defense argued it was preposterous to suggest Rivers killed three people on her own, at age 61, and argued a fifth person must have been inside the home that night. Prosecutors argued Rivers spent weeks gaining Reed’s trust, arranged to spend the night, waited for the victims to fall asleep, then used a gun equipped with a silencer to shoot Reed and Wright in their beds. Dana Rivers, 67, of San Jose, murdered Charlotte Reed, 56, her wife Patricia Wright, 57, and Wright’s 19-year-old son, Benny Toto Diambu-Wright, on Oct. 11, 2016, the jury found.

Dana Rivers, 67, was found dripping in her victims’ blood outside a home on Dunbar Street in Oakland on Oct. 11, 2016, according to police. At the scene, 57-year-old Patricia Wright and her wife, 56-year-old Charlotte Reed, were found stabbed and shot.

But her defense argued that Rivers, then 61, was incapable of killing three people on her own and said there must have been someone else at the house at the time. Rivers had an "on-again, off-again" friendship with one of the victims, Charlotte Reed, according to The MercuryNews. Their friendship soured after Reed left an all-women motorcycle club, the Deviants, in which Rivers was also a member. A transgender activist has been convicted of the 2016 murders of a lesbian couple and their son in Oakland, Calif. Prosecutors alleged she shot and stabbed Reed and Wright, then shot Diambu-Wright when he came to investigate what was happening.

Tragically, Diambu-Wright, along with his 57-year-old mother and her 56-year-old partner, were found dead on the property of their Elmhurst home last Friday after suffering fatal gunshot and stabbing wounds. There was also a fire in the garage that the Oakland Fire Department extinguished within half an hour. Police had responded to reports of gunshots heard on the block a little after midnight, and immediately found Diambu outside, bleeding to death. After hearing a loud noise from the garage, a bloody 61-year-old Dana Rivers emerged from the house with knives and ammunition in her pockets.
