Tatiana Rita Turner, a Black Lives Matter supporter and protest organizer from Long Beach, has now been charged with 13 felonies for the two attacks, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. The DA announced the latest charges, involving an August protest in Seal Beach, on Jan. 20.
