Giacomo James Cargnoni

How they died

Deadly force

Police were called to an Ocean Beach apartment complex where a man with a gun was threatening to shoot another man. Giacomo James Cargnoni had left the apartment by the time officers arrived, but his silver Volkswagen sedan was spotted minutes later and pulled over on Sea World Drive. He got out of the car but ignored commands to put up his hands. Cargnoni instead walked to the passenger side of the car, reached between the seats and pulled out a brown and silver object. He then raised the object and pointed it at police. The officer who was closest to Cargnoni opened fire, killing him. A gun was reportedly found in the car.
