OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/26/2022, Oakley Police Department Officer Brett Jackson shot and killed 58-year-old Frank Anthony Correa after police responded to a domestic violence call at a residence in the 1800 block of Teresa Lane. The encounter began at approximately 10:40 p.m. on 08/25/2022 and continued for more than two hours before the fatal shooting at approximately 1:18 a.m.
.
According to police, Correa's girlfriend reported that Correa had been driving around with her in a vehicle while armed with a handgun and would not allow her to leave. She told police that Correa threatened to kill her and himself. After they returned to the residence, the woman escaped on foot and called 911.
.
Officers arrived and attempted to communicate with Correa, who remained inside the residence. Police deployed a drone and reported seeing Correa inside with a handgun. According to Oakley Police Chief Paul Beard, officers continued attempting to establish communication while Correa remained inside. Police reported hearing multiple gunshots from within the residence during the standoff.
.
At approximately 1:18 a.m., police alleged that Correa began firing toward officers outside the residence. Initial reporting stated that Correa fired three rounds at officers during the final confrontation. A subsequent police review reported that investigators recovered 16 spent 9mm cartridge casings associated with shots Correa allegedly fired during the overall incident in the direction of either the domestic violence victim or police.
.
Jackson was the only Oakley officer who fired his weapon. He returned fire and struck Correa. Officers subsequently approached Correa and provided medical aid, but he died at the scene.
.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office and Oakley Police Department investigated the shooting under the county's law-enforcement-involved fatal incident protocol. Oakley police released partial body-worn-camera audio several days after the killing.
.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office later completed an independent criminal review of Jackson's use of deadly force. The review included the autopsy, coroner's inquest and investigative evidence and concluded that Jackson's shooting of Correa was legally justified.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
.
Brett Jackson had served with the Oakley Police Department for approximately one year and four months when he killed Correa and had approximately seven years of total law-enforcement experience. Jackson was the sole officer who fired during the fatal encounter.
