The Vallejo Police Department is moving forward with plans to fire a police officer who shot and killed an unarmed man while responding to reports of looting during a 2020 protest.
Nold said the family is feeling a sense of relief after learning Tonn has been terminated.
"They're' getting a little bit of justice that a lot of families never do get," Nold said."They're definitely appreciative the chief is doing the right thing." Nichelini called the firing unwarranted. He points out a separate court hearing concluded the officer should not be fired, a recommendation he said the police chief should have followed.
