Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Terron Jammal Boone, the half brother of Robert Fuller, a 24-year-old Black man who was found hanged in a tree last week in Palmdale, CA.
. Detectives were reportedly trailing Boone’s car to an apartment complex in Rosamond and attempted a traffic stop. Boone then “opened the front passenger door of the vehicle and engaged the Deputies by firing multiple rounds at them with a handgun.” Detectives shot Boone several times in the upper torso and he was pronounced dead at the scene, they said.
The shooting victim was not immediately identified as Boone until the Fuller family’s attorney Jamon Hicks confirmed his death in a statement. “This afternoon I had to notify the sisters of Robert Fuller that their half-brother Terron Jammal Boone was killed by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies in Kern County,”. “At this time, until we receive all of the information, the family and their legal team doesn't have any further comment on this incident. The family respectfully asks that their privacy be respected.”
Despite official accounts from the Sheriff’s Office, details of the shooting remain unclear. Lt. Robert Westphal of the LA County Sheriff’s Department toldthat the detectives and their vehicles were not equipped with dash cameras. A home surveillance video posted to the Rosamond Community Watchdog Facebook page showed multiple vehicles driving toward the parking lot. The shooting was not recorded, but voices are heard shouting “hands up!” before a series of gunshots.
