Newly released video shows the moments cops shot and killed a man running from them in Hayward, CA. The decedent has not yet been identified. The deadly shooting was on October 24, 2022.
Cops were dispatched to a disturbance at 9:56 a.m. A man reportedly got into an argument with his ex-girlfriend’s mother and was subsequently locked out of the home.
Multiple callers said the male suspect was shooting at the woman’s vehicle.
The suspect was seen leaving the area driving a gray Mercedes sedan. Officers located the car as it fled. Police initiated a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) technique and forced the suspect vehicle onto an embankment.
The suspect exited his disabled car and took off on foot. He was carrying a firearm in his hand as he ran away from an officer giving him numerous commands and warning him that deadly force could be used.
As the foot chase went on, a white SUV approached, the cop thought the suspect was going to carjack the SUV, but as the suspect clearly ran past the SUV, the officer still found it necessary to shoot and kill the suspect as he was running away.
