Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by gang unit investigators at gas station
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Orange County Sheriff’s gang unit deputies were conducting surveillance on a house with multiple people being under surveillance for possible gang-related activity. Tristan Mayberry, 19, left the house with a gun according to police who escalated a confrontation at a nearby gas Seven Eleven station. Police claim that Mayberry made a "suspicious motion" and they shot and killed him. Bodycam is linked below and only shows him in a convenience store, committing no crimes, defensively walking away from an aggressive cop with a gun pointed at his head. A second officer corners him and he is shot and killed in the middle. Police stated that he had a gun or pointed a gun in various forms but this is not seen on BWC. A teenager walking away from an aggressive officer in a store is all that is visible. It is unlikely that police cut away any footage proving he held a gun. The bodycam is linked below.
