SAN DIEGO - A former San Diego County sheriff's deputy who fatally shot an unarmed man outside the downtown San Diego jail more than four years ago was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that could send him to prison for life, it was announced Friday.
Bils, 36, was shot multiple times on May 1, 2020, as he was running away from officers who were taking him to the jail. Bils had been arrested for allegedly brandishing a golf club at park rangers in Old Town State Park and was being taken to the downtown detention facility, where he managed to partially slip out of handcuffs and escape from a California State Parks officer's car.Three other law enforcement officers were at the scene, but Russell was the only one to draw his firearm, according to prosecutors.
