The surveillance camera footage, provided by attorney Stuart Chandler, shows 16-year-old Isiah Murrietta Golding climb a fence and enter a small yard as he is being chased by two officers.
Murrietta Golding, wearing a gray sweater, lands on his feet and starts to run. One officer climbs the fence while the other gets into a crouching stance and fires through the fence, the video shows. Murrietta Golding then stumbles and falls to the ground.
In the police body camera footage, also provided by the attorney, someone off camera can be heard saying "good shot."
The bullet went through the back of the teen's head, according to the father's lawsuit, and he died three days later. The lawsuit claims the officer who fired had no "objective facts" to believe that Murrietta Golding was armed or reaching for a weapon. The teen was unarmed, the lawsuit states.

Police had already detained him
He was unarmed
The cop took a head shot at an unarmed 16 year old suspected of a gang killing
Ok with you right .
Facts don’t matter to bootlickers
I hate it but I can’t wait till door to door starts
“But I love cops”
You can see in this forum why there will always be those to run the rail cars
Joe accuracy fat boy jacked up cop at that distance had options besides head shot
On an overweight Mexican kid suspected of driving a car involved in a drive by
He had been detained and searched
They knew he was unarmed running away
All the article said, is that he initially cooperated with the police when he was pulled over. It didnt say anything about him being disarmed until after he was shot, so the police obviously assumed he was armed when he fled.
And I’m good with a head shot, but dont think it was on purpose. If you have ever done stress drill involving moving and shooting, a head shot is not easy on a moving target. My best guess is a center mass shot that went high due to chasing the thug causing a higher resipitation rate. But yea, I’m still good with a head shot wardaddy.
Actually, the day care was not open. Which is good because “ the investigation determined the trajectory of the bullet led to the day-care window, Chandler said, which could have posed a danger if children had been present.”.
Why in hell didn’t they get a warrant if they were going to stake out their house?
“ On April 14, four young men got into an argument with the two brothers near a pizza parlor at First Street and Gettysburg Avenue in central Fresno. As the four young men drove off, one of the two teens fired a handgun at the car as it drove south on First Street.
“According to the FPD, none of the shots struck either the driver or the three other passengers, but gunshots did hit the car,” the lawsuit says. The gunfire caused the car to crash into a tree, killing the driver, Ybarra. His three passengers were taken to the hospital.
The next day, the Street Violence Bureau staked out a house on the 500 block of East San Bruno Avenue near Fresno Street and Barstow Avenue, where the two brothers lived. The lawsuit says the Street Violence Bureau is a tactical team of of plainclothes officers who engages in aggressive, proactive policing.
The lawsuit says police did not enter the home because they did not have an arrest warrant or a search warrant.
Murrietta-Golding was 5-feet-4-inches tall and 109 pounds. As he ran from police, his loose-fitting pants or shorts fell down. He may have reached with his left hand to pull up his clothing or glanced backward to see Villalvazo, the lawsuit says, but “no reasonable officer would have interpreted either movement as posing an immediate threat to anyone’s safety.”
Wounded and laying on the ground, Murrietta-Golding needed urgent medical care. Instead, Villalvazo and the other officers frisked and handcuffed Murrietta-Golding, the lawsuit says. Several minutes passed before Villlvazo and the others sought first aid for Murrietta-Golding., the lawsuit says.

It’s a matter of personal opinion
I don’t have the right to shoot someone running from me who is no longer a threat and I suggest you don’t try it either or drag them back in the house
And assuming he got lucky at that short distance and hit him head shot is no offense a reach of wishful thinking
Even I ....a reasonable shooter could do it to that chubby Mexican kid....eight steps from the fence ...I counted em
One other factoid....and typical of cops post murder lies from Yuma AZ to Houston Texas
They cleared the cop at a hearing ..in Fresno Earlier by police review
But guess what ....They neglected to tell the public or the review jury they had the video you and I see now.....amazing
Btw..I defended the Fort Worth window shooter cop as more manslaughter than murder
I call,em like I see em and have myself on occasion resisted killing when it was easy and justified
So I’m holding steroid lawman to the same standards I held myself to
You're conflating what I as a private citizen can do on my own property, and what a police officer can do, if he perceives that the perpetrator is still a threat to the populace; and by climbing over a fence onto the grounds of a daycare, and possibly armed, the perp was still a threat to the community.

Maybe it was an aimed shot at the head, and maybe just a shot gone high. But what I do know, is that you train like you fight; and muscle memory built into shooting, is to shoot center mass. Even failure drills or Mozambique's teach you 2 to the chest, THEN, 1 to the head. Hell, even I can hit a target in the head at 8 paces on a flat range, but the cop wasn't on a flat range, and though he was stationary, the target wasn't. Add to the mix the adrenaline flowing, and it makes for a much harder shot. But I don't know, and neither do you.

All I get from the last few paragraphs is an anti-cop bias on your part, from calling them all liars "from Yuma AZ to Houston TX", to accusing them of steroid use. And you can call them like you see them, as you said, its all opinion. And in my opinion, it was a justified shoot.
There's truth to that statement. More than a few instances where it seems people are willing to look the other way because it's "against" the other side. There's that saying about doing the right thing even when others aren't around.
What might of happened if he didn't hit that person and outright missed and the daycare was in use? You can't recall the bullet once it's been fired. Didn't the bullet end up going into the daycare even with hitting the person?
Mesa Arizona my bad
Houston cops raid and murder old couple
https://abc13.com/investigation-into-botched-raid-that-killed-couple-now-complete/5301838/
That’s just two of 100s of questionable shoots
I assume you’re a patriot
The mentality shown by this blue line is the same mentality they will use to come for our guns or enforce their cultural Marxism
I’m convinced of that
Some day folks will fight back. If a cop kills one of my kids like this unarmed
I’m old and have a bad heart and ain’t living forever anyhow and doing time doesn’t scare me
There will be justice
I’m surprisee those evil bikers at Waco didn’t do it after they were gunned down
He could have dumped five or six 40s in the kids legs at that point ...that’s eight steps anyone can see the video
It’s disgusting and a shot in the head 16 year old lying on the grass in front of them and first words are “good shot”
Posters don’t research stories
He was suspected of driving a getaway car in a Fresno Bulldogs drive by killing the day before and when stopped he complied at first and was outside the car with the cops peaceably for some time being questioned then broke and ran
Cops had to have believed he was unarmed or had frisked him or they wouldn’t have been standing in the open questioning him ...about a murder....there are videos of this
It’s a window into police mentality and training possibly
Training which at least to me seems more suited for Fallujah
I’m old enough to have witnessed cops transition from neighborhood people you knew with relatively similar weaponry to us to today’s version of a militarized police force
Seal team wannabes all inked up and tactical and often roids addled
The change has not been for the better
I had deputies and a sherrif in my extended family ...they didn’t see themselves as distinct from the general population but rather an arm of it
You get cops to feel distinct and that’s how totalitarianism can use them as enforcement
That’s how I see it
