OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Guillermo Medina, a father of three, was shot and killed by police on Dec. 18, 2022. The family said the unarmed Medina was jogging away from the scene of a car accident where he had wrecked his car. As he was leaving, an officer shot him in the back with a “military-style” rifle.
Medina had paranoid schizophrenia, and the police had already been informed earlier and were called on for help as Medina was having a mental health breakdown, added the family. As Medina fled the police, they escalated a chase that led to a “one-car wreck.”
