Deadly force

Police received reports of a man who was threatening people and causing a disturbance at the Lakeshore Plaza Shopping Center. Police said the man was "behaving erratically." Officers found the man nearby and attempted to contact him. The man turned toward officers and fired multiple shots at them, striking one in the head and then fled. Arriving officers surrounded the area and began looking for the gunman who emerged from bushes near 28th Avenue and Vicente Street and tried to run away. He was shot by Officers Nathan Chew and Paul Dominguez and died a few days later.
