San Diego Officer Involved Shooting 06-27-2020 Body Worn Camera Footage

Police officers shot and wounded a man who they say pointed a gun at them in downtown San Diego Saturday evening, San Diego police said. The shooting occurred on Sixth Avenue south of A Street about 5:45 p.m. Police said the 25-year-old man, who they described as Hispanic, was a suspect in a robbery that occurred on June 21. Two officers driving downtown Saturday saw the man exiting a building and recognized him from a wanted flyer circulating after the robbery, said San Diego police Capt. Rich Freedman.They tried to contact him, and as he saw the officers he turned around and started walking southbound on Sixth, police said. As he was walking, he dropped items he’d been carrying and reached into his waistband, police said, citing interviews with witnesses and surveillance camera footage. As the officers followed, with one walking in the street and another remaining on the sidewalk, the man produced a handgun that he pointed at the officer in the street, police said. “Fearing they were going to be shot, the officers returned fire,” Freedman said. The man was struck at least once, police said.The officers handcuffed the man where he’d collapsed and gave him first aid until paramedics arrived, said Lt. Matt Dobbs. He was taken to a hospital, where he underwent surgery. His prognosis was unknown as of 9 p.m., Freedman said. Police did not release his name. They also did not provide details of the robbery they were investigating except to say the robber had allegedly “struck somebody and stole some property” from the person, Freedman said. The shooting was captured on a business’ surveillance camera, police said. Authorities posted an image from the footage on social media that showed two officers with guns drawn on a man appearing to point an item at one of the officers. The image is not clear enough to make out what the item is. Police posted a second photo of a gun they said was recovered at the scene. The photo shows a bundle of camouflage-print cloth with what appears to be the wooden handle of a handgun sticking out the bottom. Hours later police tweeted a photo of the item unwrapped, appearing to be a revolver.The homicide unit will investigate, as it does all officer-involved shootings. The U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI would also be monitoring the investigation. The officers involved will be placed on administrative leave per standard protocol, Freedman said. Their names weren’t released; both are assigned to Central Division. A video posted on Twitter showed police flooding the area moments after the shooting and officers trying to resuscitate a person on the sidewalk in front of PATH San Diego’s Connections Housing. The facility provides wrap-around services to downtown’s homeless population, including providing interim housing.Sixth was blocked off as police investigated. About 120 onlookers gathered around the police tape, many of them yelling at officers and demanding answers. They chanted “Hands up, don’t shoot.” Some brought candles and flowers.The shooting comes amid fury over the in-custody death of George Floyd, a Black man who stopped breathing while a White officer knelt on his neck in Minneapolis. The death sparked massive nationwide protests over the past several weeks and renewed calls for racial justice and policing reform. Community activist Tasha Williamson, who recently ran for mayor, said the man’s name was Leo. “He had a lot of life,” she told reporters at the scene.The decision by San Diego police to release images of the incident so quickly into the investigation is rare and an apparent attempt to temper outrage building within the community Saturday evening. Calls intensified for video footage of the incident, including that from officer body-worn cameras, to be released immediately. Police promised they would “as soon as we can.” “I’m calling for the @SanDiegoPD body worn camera footage of the 6th ave. & B st. officer involved shooting tonight,” the Rev. Shane Harris, president and CEO of the People’s Alliance for Justice, said on Twitter. “I also expect the Citizens Review Board to review this incident. I’m not jumping to conclusions on what happened or who is at fault. I am asking for transparency.” ** HELP KEEP COPWATCH RUNNING ** **Please consider showing support by making a donation for CopWatch Legal Fees Paypal- https://paypal.me/TMPSD #CopWatch #TheMovment #SanDiego #SanDiegoCopwatch #CityHeights #California #FilmThePolice #copwatch #policebrutality #filmthepolice #wecopwatch #punkpolice #steroids #ftp #oppression #bluelivesmurder #racism #prisonindustrialcomplex #amerikkka #police #repost #sheep #corruption #staywoke #insidejob #policewatch #puppets
