At the time of the murder, Rivers was living in San Jose, and NBC Bay Area reports that Rivers was a security guard licensed to carry a weapon. The profile I found of Rivers on “The Living Room” does say that she struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for many years but at that time (which seems to be 2004) had been clean for 11 years. It’s worth noting that Rivers is white and the three people she killed are (to the best of my knowledge) of color, and last week saw a rash of racially-motivated hate crimes following the election of Donald Trump. Rivers had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but her lawyers said that in any case, she did not kill the three victims. The trial was delayed so long "in part because doctors were debating her mental health status and preparing reports for the court," the paper reports.
Media attention
Rivers became a national advocate for transgender rights in 1999 after she was fired from her teaching position Center High School in Antelope, Calif., outside Sacramento. At the time, Rivers alleged that she was fired for discussing her transition with her teenage students. Today, Rivers was charged with three counts of murder with special circumstances, arson, and possession of metal knuckles. She may be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole and could also be eligible for the death penalty, depending on the judgment of the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. Patricia Wright worked in the Berkeley Unified School District for nine years, first as a sign language interpreter, then as a special ed teacher, and then as an elementary school teacher at Berkeley Arts Magnet.

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.

Reed has had interviews and offers with other colleges, including after leading the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament in 2022 and last month. She reportedly interviewed at Tulane and Tennessee about a week after Jackson State's 2024 season ended. Reed thanked God, her son Carlon, family, friends, her agent, and the 49ers' administration.
She then “began to make spontaneous statements about her involvement in the murders” and attempted to flee on her motorcycle. Tomekia Reed has been named the ninth women’s basketball head coach for the Charlotte 49ers. Reed, a three-time HBCU National Coach of the Year, comes to Charlotte following a highly successful six-year stint as head coach of the Jackson State Tigers. "Authorities say Rivers became wrapped up in her identity as an enforcer for an outlaw motorcycle club and sought revenge against Reed after she left the Deviants," the paper reports. But Rivers and Reed made up to the point that Reed allowed Rivers to spend the night on October 11, 2016, at the home Reed and her wife, Patricia Wright, shared in Oakland. She has spent the past six years awaiting trial, in part because doctors were debating her mental health status and preparing reports for the court, records show.

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.

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.

According to Officer Hector Jiminez, police arrived at the scene to find Rivers covered in blood and carrying knives, ammunition and brass knuckles. Prosecutors said Rivers shot Reed and Wright as they slept that night, then slashed their bodies with a knife. She then shot Wright's 19-year-old son, Benny Toto Diambu-Wright, when he arrived to investigate what was happening, according to the prosecution. An Alameda County jury convicted Dana Rivers of San Jose November 17, The [San Jose] Mercury News reports. Beginning December 5, the jury will consider whether Rivers was legally insane at the time of the killings.

The truth is that two lesbians and one teenager who were beloved in their communities were murdered last week, and that we are thankful that their murderer was apprehended and imprisoned and will be punished. We owe this family honor and respect and grief, rather than using their deaths to further push our own community apart, and will not tolerate comments that pursue that kind of divisive agenda. Years earlier, Rivers was a teacher at a high school in Antelope, Calif., where she made headlines by coming out as trans to her students. The school district fired her, and she sued and ultimately received a settlement of $150,000. She eventually moved from Antelope, which is near Sacramento, to the Bay Area and became an activist for trans rights. Rivers was covered in blood and in possession of three weapons when police arrived and quickly arrested her, the Mercury News reports.
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.
