OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
A man was reported for a disturbance and Stockton PD arrived. The man refused to engage with police and walked past them. They shot and killed him. Police claim he “pulled a gun from his pants”, adding that the "gun was as long as his leg", further adding that he had “engaged in a shooting with police.” This initial claim was changed to "he reached for his waistband," leaving it unclear how a very long gun could fit in his waistband. The only “gun” found was a plastic replica.
Bodycam video was released on 10/26/2023 and is linked below, showing only a man in the darkness with his back turned trying his best to get away from police with guns pointed at him until he is gunned down. No long guns or other guns can be seen in the video which is linked below. The video is heavily edited, omitting how the situation came about and cuts off at the sound of police gunfire.
