Veterans Memorial Building

The city of Berkeley held an open house Wednesday for a plan to reshape the Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park and two nearby historic buildings — Veterans Memorial Building and the Maudelle Shirek Building, also known as Old City Hall — located in Berkeley’s Civic Center.

City officials are currently exploring possible locations for a new permanent shelter that will replace the Berkeley Emergency Storm Shelter, or BESS, after a brainstorming session last week.

According to Berkeley Police Department spokesperson Officer Byron White, the passerby found Mendoza at 7:43 a.m. Thursday, and the death did not appear to be suspicious.
