OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
San Bernardino Sheriff's deputies stopped Albert Jose Rodriguez Jr., a 48-year-old, for multiple traffic violations. Police highlight his alleged gang affiliation in the context of justifying the shooting, but at the time of the traffic stop he was only accused of code violations. When officers attempted to arrest him, he fled in his vehicle, during which an officer became trapped inside. Rodriguez allegedly reached for a gun concealed in his shirt. The officer shot him, and he was transported to a hospital but later died from his injuries. A subsequent search of Rodriguez's vehicle revealed a loaded firearm and suspected narcotics. One officer was injured during the incident, but they are expected to recover. The shooting is under investigation by the San Bernardino Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office.
