At least one Richmond police officer shot and killed someone during a warrant service Tuesday night. The incident occurred on the 2700 block of Maine Avenue in south Richmond around 8:15 p.m. when officers attempted to arrest a person suspected of violating their probation due to domestic violence. The individual refused to surrender, leading to a 30-minute standoff before being fatally shot. Police have not disclosed details regarding the person's identity, whether they were armed, or the specific circumstances that led to the shooting. The Contra Costa District Attorney's Office is investigating the incident, which is standard protocol for any death involving police in the county.
RICHMOND — At least one Richmond police officer shot and killed someone during a warrant service Tuesday night, but so far the department won’t say why, or even if the decedent was armed.
The person refused to surrender. They were shot roughly 30 minutes into the standoff. Police haven’t said what prompted the shooting, or identified the dead person by name, age, or gender. The news release says officers spent the half-hour attempting to de-escalate the situation before killing the person.
Police haven’t said how many officers fired, or named any of the officers who did. The news release says the department is “committed” to a “thorough and transparent” investigation.Dear Abby: With sobriety he became a new person -- and not a good oneVote now: Bay Area News Group girls athlete of the weekDear Abby: This family of slobs ruins our vacation
