The Vallejo Police Department has released a report detailing officers’ accounts of the fatal shooting of aspiring rapper Willie McCoy, who was killed while sitting in a car in a Taco Bell drive-through earlier this year.
showed Officer Colin Eaton shouting for McCoy to put his hands where he could see them before multiple gunshots erupted in rapid succession. Ultimately, six officers shot 55 rounds in 3.5 seconds, according to report from retired Officer David Blake.“In general, I find the use of deadly force in this case to be reasonable and in line with contemporary training and police practices associated with use of deadly force.
Prior to the shooting, body-cam footage showed officers discussing whether the car was locked and if they could pull McCoy out of the vehicle. One officer is heard saying he is going to open the door and grab the gun. In the police report, Eaton said he “wholly expected the suspect to come up shooting” when he made the decision to open fire.
