Seconds later, he hears his partner shouting from a parking lot entrance at San Mateo Street and El Corazon Avenue intersection and sprints to help her.
The female officer's bodycam shows McClintock running toward her open driver's side door. While there is no audio, the video shows her pulling out her handgun before McClintock wrestles it away from her. During the struggle, the officer is thrown to the ground but quickly gets up and runs for cover, right as her partner arrives.
"He did grab the weapon from her but I know that my brother was not someone to hurt anyone," sister Seajay McClintock said. He's never hurt anyone in his life."
Her partner orders McClintock to drop the handgun, but he refuses and enters his partner's cruiser. The officer unleashed two volleys of fire and killed McClintock while he sat in the driver's seat.
Seajay believed her brother was scared and trying to leave the officer's sight before he was killed.
"I believe he was simply just trying to leave the officer's sight and he was very scared at teh moment as anyone would be if you had a gun on you," she said.
McClintock's family claimed the officers put themselves in a dangerous situation and don't understand why police killed the 26-year-old.
"They put themselves in a very dangerous situation," Seajay said. "They put the public in danger by drawing out their weapons, and unfortunately, it cost my brother's life."
She said her brother suffered from a blood disorder that could cause disorientation.
"He did have a blood disorder and sometimes he would get brain bleeds," Seajay said. "When he would get these brain bleeds, sometimes, it would make him very disoriented, confused and he would think that people were trying to hurt him."

His sister says deceased would get brain bleeds which made him think people were trying to hurt him. She said it was the fault of the police to draw their guns.
I am usually supportive of women in law enforcement. In this case, however I hope she finds a career that better suits her, and does not endanger others.

If she drew and pointed she should have shot.
Sister might be right.
Female cops are quick to draw their guns because they frighten easy.
A tall, strong male cop would likely have been able to handle the situation without drawing a gun, and without anyone getting killed.
I read the headline thinking it was the town’s Channel 11 reporter that had run amuck.
“He’s never hurt anyone in his life.”
Well, now his lifetime batting average is 1.000...
The sister is taking lessons from. Tykesha with all the " h3 never would hurt anyone" ignoring the fact he just knocked a Leo to the ground, took her gun and ran.
Get screwed up people together in a situation like this with a deadly weapon and someone is going to die. At least this time it was the un-institutionalized shirtless mental patient who breaks into cars instead of the cop or eventually an innocent victim of his, most likely his sister or the messed up parents that gave them the names Osean and Seajay.
Never been a LEO have you
Worked in urban prosecutor’s office and know a lot of cops. Around here they shoot first and ask questions later. Of course that is changing with BLM and DEI hires. You can’t even give an AA a speeding ticket without minutes of paperwork to explain why.
Sure they do.
After 33 years as a LEO and trainer.
I have found your statements not to have much merit.
Bingo......
He grabs the officer’s gun then tries to escape with it but it’s the cop’s fault? She probably should have shot him when he got to close and did not obey the officer’s orders, and maybe she should find a safer job that she can handle. In any case the guy who stole the gun was no angel. Good riddance.
Was known to break in to cars, ran at a police officer, stole a gun from a police officer, ran from a police office and was caught. Was told to drop the gun and did not. Was know to have brain bleeds per his family. Was armed with a stolen gun.
Darwin Award given with two stars.
Star one: Being a danger to him self and others and allowed by his family to run around and break in to cars while having brain bleeds.
Star two: When told to drop a gun by a police officer who has a gun pointed at you and you don’t and gets shot dead.
Well, if you try to take an officer’s gun here, you will be shot. If you disagree with that you are not an LEO. As for the effect of BLM, that is incontestable. And, the DEI hiring is the reason this story exits.
Looks like the nutcases circled around this one...
The last woman in local law enforcement I met during the course of her duties had at least two inches on me, and I ain’t short, and looked like she could pick me up, not skinny either, with one arm.
I was impressed with her. She was very professional, very kind with an elderly person being interviewed, and very well muscled.
I’ve seen some of the new female hires.
They’ve shrunk quite a bit.
I doubt our local perps are worried.
Women police, soldiers, firemen etc. make it more dangerous for the men and criminals. If they can’t handle the situation, other officers must be pulled out of their duty to assist making it more dangerous for all involved.
Agree on all counts. That trying to talk a gun out of a criminals hands works on TV cop shows.
