According to police officials, a man was killed Friday after officers responded to reports of a carjacking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak said the incident began Friday about 10:30 a.m. when a van belonging to the California State Lottery was allegedly stolen in the 1800 block of 23rd Street in Potrero Hill. A lottery employee was assaulted during the incident. Her injuries are non-life-threatening, according to police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the alleged carjacking, one suspect fled the scene in the lottery van and was chased by police into the Alice Griffith Housing Development, a public housing complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The suspect exited the vehicle,” Andraychak said, “and an officer-involved shooting occurred.” The suspect was then taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andraychak said another vehicle was at the crime scene that police believe was also involved in the robbery. Officers stopped that car and detained three or four people in connection with the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to police officials, body-worn cameras from the officers involved in the incident were retrieved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They will be reviewed later for evidence,” Andraychak said. “We’re also canvassing the area -- both of the robbery and of the termination point of the pursuit and the officer-involved shooting -- for potential video evidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andraychak would not say whether the suspect was carrying a weapon. “That’s part of the investigation,” he said. “It’s much too early at this time to comment on the evidence at the scene.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crime-scene investigators are still going over the scene and photographing and collecting evidence,” Andraychak said. “The officers that were involved have yet to be interviewed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFPD's homicide detail, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, the Department of Police Accountability, the San Francisco Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are all investigating the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andraychak said there will also be a town hall meeting within the next 10 days to discuss the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No officers were injured during the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting occurred almost exactly two years after the highly controversial police killing of 26-year-old Mario Woods in the Bayview on Dec. 2, 2015.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Michael Andraychak said the incident began Friday about 10:30 a.m. when a van belonging to the California State Lottery was allegedly stolen in the 1800 block of 23rd Street in Potrero Hill. A lottery employee was assaulted during the incident. Her injuries are non-life-threatening, according to police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the alleged carjacking, one suspect fled the scene in the lottery van and was chased by police into the Alice Griffith Housing Development, a public housing complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The suspect exited the vehicle,” Andraychak said, “and an officer-involved shooting occurred.” The suspect was then taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andraychak said another vehicle was at the crime scene that police believe was also involved in the robbery.

The lawsuit charges that Evans mischaracterized both the conclusions that could be drawn from shell casings recovered at the crime scene and the results of earlier SFPD research on the behavior of shell casings ejected from 9 mm semiautomatic pistols similar to the weapon used in Kuka's killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trulove maintained his innocence after he was convicted in 2010 and won a new trial on appeal. He was acquitted in 2015 after jurors \"had trouble reconciling the evidence\" with an account by a witness of the shooting and identification of Trulove as the shooter, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Ex-reality-TV-show-contestant-acquitted-of-murder-6128811.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>'s reporting on the second trial's outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That physical evidence included eight shell casings indicating a position of the shooter that would have been impossible for the witness to have seen, according to Trulove's arguments in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4195361-170213-Trulove-v-San-Francisco-et-al-Second.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal lawsuit\u003c/a> against Evans, several other police officers and the city of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans testified at both Trulove's initial trial and his retrial that generally little could be gleaned from the location of shell casings. At the 2015 retrial, Evans testified that trying to determine the location of a shooter based on the location of shell casings was \"a fallacy on the level of a broken clock being right twice a day,\" according to portions of the trial transcript read during a June 7, 2017, deposition of Evans in Trulove's civil case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans also testified that \"studies we have done in the San Francisco Police Department Crime Scene Investigation Unit\" found that \"a large percentage\" of spent shell casings will end up in front of a shooter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Evans' sworn \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4195312-Evans-John-June-07-2017-FULL.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deposition testimony\u003c/a>, he was referring to a single official study conducted in 2001 by SFPD Officer Ronan Shouldice, which he had not read when he testified about it. The study appears to conclude that 9 mm shell casings landed to the right and rear of the shooter 49 out of 50 times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges Evans and other officers who were involved in the Kuka murder investigation conspired to deprive Trulove of his civil rights, violated due process, and failed to disclose exculpatory information that resulted in a malicious prosecution in violation of the Fourth and 14th amendments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These complaints against Inspector Evans are completely false,\" a spokesman for the San Francisco City Attorney's Office, which represents Evans in the lawsuit, wrote in an emailed response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiff's June questioning of Evans was often hostile, according to a transcript provided by defense attorneys in the Steinle case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiff's attorney Nick Brustin called Evans a liar early in his testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Did You Like Being Called a Liar?'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be very clear here,\" Brustin said, according to the transcript. \"You understand that we called you a liar in the complaint, correct? ... And you understood we claimed you lied about the substance of that study, correct? ... Did you like being called a liar?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy City Attorney Margaret Baumgartner instructed Evans not to answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Evans does answer that he had not read the 2001 study when he testified about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In retrospect, do you have any concern about testifying under oath in a homicide trial about a study that you hadn't seen?\" Brustin asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After having spoken to the author of the memorandum and having known him for decades, and knowing his abilities and knowing his statements in relation to his abilities and in relation to what I know to be fact, and my general impression and respect for that author, no, I don't have any qualms,\" Evans answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate deposition, Shouldice, the author of the study, said he didn't recall ever speaking with Evans about his research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The civil case involves a conflict between Evans and another forensics expert who testified for the defense in the Steinle trial, James Norris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hired by the plaintiffs in the Trulove case, Norris wrote that Evans' opinions about shell casing analysis \"are completely inconsistent with minimally acceptable practices for forensic reporting and testimony.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Inspector Shouldice’s deposition testimony, he testified that Inspector Evans’ characterization of the study as showing a large percentage of the casing ended up in front of the shooter, was not only inaccurate but constituted a gross misrepresentation,\" Norris wrote. \"Inspector Shouldice expressed surprise at the content of Inspector Evans’ testimony. Inspector Shouldice also testified that it was inappropriate for Inspector Evans to testify in court about a study he had not read, and for an expert to misrepresent the strength of findings in a study.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the San Francisco District Attorney's Office said it's inappropriate to question the credibility of a witness based on unsubstantiated allegations in a lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We make determinations of people's credibility based on objective, verifiable facts,\" Assistant District Attorney Alex Bastian said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Garcia Zarate's defense attorneys say there's much more to the Trulove case than just the allegations, including the fact that Trulove's conviction was eventually reversed. They also point out inconsistencies in deposition testimony of officers involved in the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a reason why the judge did not dismiss him from the lawsuit [as she has other defendants],\" defense attorney Matt Gonzalez said. \"He testified outside the bounds of anything that is reasonable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said Evans' conclusion in the Steinle case -- that “a human being held a firearm, pointed it in the direction of Ms. Steinle, pulled the trigger and fired, killing her” -- was improper testimony. If he testifies again Monday, Gonzalez said he'll ask him questions about the Trulove case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He'll say anything they want him to say,\" Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The attorneys say the gun went off before Garcia Zarate knew what he was holding and that Steinle's death was an accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://48hills.org/2017/11/12/zarate-prosecution-wintess/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first reported\u003c/a> by Tim Redmond for 48 Hills on Sunday, Evans is a defendant in an unrelated federal lawsuit alleging that he offered misleading testimony as a prosecution witness in an earlier murder trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Testimony on 2007 Killing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The suit, filed last year, centers on the fatal 2007 shooting of Seu Kuka, a resident of the city's Sunnydale housing project, and the later conviction of Jamal Trulove for murdering Kuka. The lawsuit charges that Evans mischaracterized both the conclusions that could be drawn from shell casings recovered at the crime scene and the results of earlier SFPD research on the behavior of shell casings ejected from 9 mm semiautomatic pistols similar to the weapon used in Kuka's killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trulove maintained his innocence after he was convicted in 2010 and won a new trial on appeal. He was acquitted in 2015 after jurors \"had trouble reconciling the evidence\" with an account by a witness of the shooting and identification of Trulove as the shooter, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Ex-reality-TV-show-contestant-acquitted-of-murder-6128811.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>'s reporting on the second trial's outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That physical evidence included eight shell casings indicating a position of the shooter that would have been impossible for the witness to have seen, according to Trulove's arguments in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4195361-170213-Trulove-v-San-Francisco-et-al-Second.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal lawsuit\u003c/a> against Evans, several other police officers and the city of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans testified at both Trulove's initial trial and his retrial that generally little could be gleaned from the location of shell casings. At the 2015 retrial, Evans testified that trying to determine the location of a shooter based on the location of shell casings was \"a fallacy on the level of a broken clock being right twice a day,\" according to portions of the trial transcript read during a June 7, 2017, deposition of Evans in Trulove's civil case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans also testified that \"studies we have done in the San Francisco Police Department Crime Scene Investigation Unit\" found that \"a large percentage\" of spent shell casings will end up in front of a shooter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Evans' sworn \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4195312-Evans-John-June-07-2017-FULL.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deposition testimony\u003c/a>, he was referring to a single official study conducted in 2001 by SFPD Officer Ronan Shouldice, which he had not read when he testified about it. The study appears to conclude that 9 mm shell casings landed to the right and rear of the shooter 49 out of 50 times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges Evans and other officers who were involved in the Kuka murder investigation conspired to deprive Trulove of his civil rights, violated due process, and failed to disclose exculpatory information that resulted in a malicious prosecution in violation of the Fourth and 14th amendments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These complaints against Inspector Evans are completely false,\" a spokesman for the San Francisco City Attorney's Office, which represents Evans in the lawsuit, wrote in an emailed response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiff's June questioning of Evans was often hostile, according to a transcript provided by defense attorneys in the Steinle case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiff's attorney Nick Brustin called Evans a liar early in his testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Did You Like Being Called a Liar?'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be very clear here,\" Brustin said, according to the transcript. \"You understand that we called you a liar in the complaint, correct? ... And you understood we claimed you lied about the substance of that study, correct? ... Did you like being called a liar?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy City Attorney Margaret Baumgartner instructed Evans not to answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Evans does answer that he had not read the 2001 study when he testified about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In retrospect, do you have any concern about testifying under oath in a homicide trial about a study that you hadn't seen?\" Brustin asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After having spoken to the author of the memorandum and having known him for decades, and knowing his abilities and knowing his statements in relation to his abilities and in relation to what I know to be fact, and my general impression and respect for that author, no, I don't have any qualms,\" Evans answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate deposition, Shouldice, the author of the study, said he didn't recall ever speaking with Evans about his research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The civil case involves a conflict between Evans and another forensics expert who testified for the defense in the Steinle trial, James Norris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hired by the plaintiffs in the Trulove case, Norris wrote that Evans' opinions about shell casing analysis \"are completely inconsistent with minimally acceptable practices for forensic reporting and testimony.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Inspector Shouldice’s deposition testimony, he testified that Inspector Evans’ characterization of the study as showing a large percentage of the casing ended up in front of the shooter, was not only inaccurate but constituted a gross misrepresentation,\" Norris wrote. \"Inspector Shouldice expressed surprise at the content of Inspector Evans’ testimony. Inspector Shouldice also testified that it was inappropriate for Inspector Evans to testify in court about a study he had not read, and for an expert to misrepresent the strength of findings in a study.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the San Francisco District Attorney's Office said it's inappropriate to question the credibility of a witness based on unsubstantiated allegations in a lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We make determinations of people's credibility based on objective, verifiable facts,\" Assistant District Attorney Alex Bastian said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Garcia Zarate's defense attorneys say there's much more to the Trulove case than just the allegations, including the fact that Trulove's conviction was eventually reversed. They also point out inconsistencies in deposition testimony of officers involved in the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a reason why the judge did not dismiss him from the lawsuit [as she has other defendants],\" defense attorney Matt Gonzalez said. \"He testified outside the bounds of anything that is reasonable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said Evans' conclusion in the Steinle case -- that “a human being held a firearm, pointed it in the direction of Ms. Steinle, pulled the trigger and fired, killing her” -- was improper testimony. If he testifies again Monday, Gonzalez said he'll ask him questions about the Trulove case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Perez Lopez may have circled around Abraham Perez to dash inside his house and grab a kitchen knife with an 8-inch blade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both men appear to have been drinking heavily that evening. Perez Lopez's blood alcohol level was .19 -- intoxicated to the point of \"confusion or excitement, emotional instability, and loss of critical judgment and understanding,\" according to a toxicologist who tested Perez Lopez's blood. Abraham Perez told police he'd consumed half a 24-oz. beer before the incident, but he still smelled of alcohol several hours later, according to the district attorney's summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers Craig Tiffe and Eric Reboli, who were in plainclothes and an unmarked police car, were the first officers to respond to a 911 call about a person with a knife at about 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 26, 2015. They were nearby and arrived within minutes, where they encountered two men on opposite sides of a parked car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reboli approached a man on the street side of the parked car, who would later be identified as Abraham Perez, and \"announced himself as a police officer and then immediately grabbed Abraham P. by both arms and pinned his arms together in case he was the man with the knife,\" according to the district attorney's summary of Reboli's statement. Reboli told Perez they were going to get out of the street and moved toward the sidewalk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Tiffe approached Perez Lopez, who was on the sidewalk side of the parked car.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"nRLBQFFvdnjGZXwTrjtDzXlBgWvbUZwE\"]\u003cbr>\nOfficer Tiffe said he thought Perez Lopez appeared to be in an \"altered state\" and described the look on his face as \"bloodlust crazed,\" according to the district attorney's summary of Tiffe's statement. Tiffe said he announced himself as a police officer and asked Perez Lopez to step away from the car. \"Officer Tiffe then pointed to the star on his chest, in case Perez Lopez did not speak English, but he could not tell if Perez Lopez looked at it or understood he was a police officer since he said nothing and simply appeared to 'look through' him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiffe said he tried to grab Perez Lopez by the left arm and tried to take him to the ground, but Perez Lopez \"suddenly lunged up at him with his right hand,\" according to the summary of Tiffe's statement. He said he shoved Perez Lopez away, and as the two were separating, Perez Lopez swiped at his chest with an object Tiffe then realized was a \"very large knife.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reboli had come to Tiffe's aid at this point. After he was shoved away from Tiffe, Perez Lopez turned and started to run toward Reboli, according to the district attorney's summary of Reboli's statement. He said he reached for both his gun and pepper spray, but couldn't get the pepper spray out of his pocket. Reboli said he shouted either \"Police, drop the knife\" or \"Drop the knife,\" but after a momentary pause, Perez Lopez continued to approach Reboli with the knife, and the officer began to fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He fired five shots over about two seconds, which were recorded by a nearby gunshot detection device at 9:47 p.m. and the phone of the 911 caller, who was still speaking to police dispatchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Below is a 3D animation depicting the theory that Perez Lopez may have turned as the officers were deciding to shoot.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr_tIpl6d5I\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's summary of Tiffe's statement says: \"Officer Reboli explained that, once he started to discharge his firearm, Perez Lopez began turning toward the street, then took a step or two before collapsing, face-down, between the two parked cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer Tiffe recalled that, as the shots were being fired, Perez Lopez was 'kind of moving in different directions,' was at some point 'facing, at some point he was turning away,' and appeared to fixate on something in the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiffe fired a single shot as Perez Lopez moved toward the street, the summary said: \"He didn't know exactly where Abraham P. was at that point but believed he was very close and thought that Perez Lopez was going after him, so he fired his weapon one time and saw Perez Lopez fall to the ground.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>After the Shooting\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, uniformed officers were arriving on the block of Folsom between 24th and 25th streets as the shots were being fired, according to the district attorney's summary. As one officer began CPR on Perez Lopez, who was shot through the back of the head among other wounds, another officer spoke with Abraham Perez. The officer recorded Perez saying \"that the man shot by the police wanted his bike and tried to kill him with the knife, and ... that the officer saved his life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's summary of the investigation includes statements or information from a total of 15 independent witnesses, including neighbors who said they heard gunshots and shouting, a man who called 911, a woman waiting for the bus and other bystanders. Part of their information corroborates whether officers Tiffe and Reboli shouted commands before firing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Four witnesses reported hearing some version of 'Put the knife down,' prior to shots being fired; five witnesses heard some version of 'Get on the ground!' prior to shots being fired; and six witnesses heard yelling or shouting prior to shots being fired, but did not hear or remember the words said,\" according to the district attorney's summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We have yet another case of a shooting of a young man of color in which the officers will not be held accountable. ... We hope to have another shot at this to get the details to light and some of the questions answered, but this is a big disappointment.'\u003ccite>Richard Smith\u003cbr>Mission District Priest\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Two additional witnesses are former roommates of Perez Lopez who initially told police they hadn't seen anything, but feared their roommate had been shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them spoke to KQED and \u003ca href=\"http://eltecolote.org/content/en/features/how-a-witness-to-fatal-sfpd-shooting-of-amilcar-perez-lopez-came-forward/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">El Tecolote\u003c/a> last year on condition of anonymity because he said he fears retaliation from the police. Both men also told \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/13/san-francisco-police-shooting-amilcar-perez-lopez/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mission Local\u003c/a> in 2015 that they feared countering the Police Department's version of the shooting because of their undocumented immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was nearly a year after the shooting that the men, supported by a network of activists around the shooting of Perez Lopez, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/04/how-a-witness-to-fatal-s-f-police-shooting-of-amilcar-perez-lopez-came-forward/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gave statements\u003c/a> to district attorney's investigators in the church of a local priest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's investigation notes that the men were likely outside at the time of the shooting -- they were noticed by another pair of witnesses just moments before the gunshots. They both said that, from about 90 feet away, they didn't hear the officers give any commands, never saw Abraham Perez, and that it seemed Perez Lopez was running away when the officers started shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But their sight was obstructed by trees and parked vehicles, and they wouldn't have seen Abraham Perez on the other side of the cars. It would have been difficult, if not impossible, for them to see Perez Lopez at the moment he was shot, though they may have been able to see the officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>District Attorney's Analysis\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's charging decision says that, legally, the officers' account of the shooting indicates that their use of force was justified in self-defense or defense of others. The charging decision then \"turns on whether the officers' statements are consistent with the evidence,\" according to the summary of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis further narrows to \"\u003cem>the moments just before the shots were fired\u003c/em> where it was not immediately clear whether the officers' accounts could be squared with other evidence,\" according to the summary, which notes two crucial inconsistencies. \"These two areas were subject to intense analysis, including close examination by a use of force expert.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first apparent inconsistency involves Reboli's statement that he started to fire as Perez Lopez was coming toward him. \"This statement was examined in light of the findings of the Medical Examiner that five of the six shots that struck Perez Lopez struck him in the back, and with the statement of Abraham P., who said that Perez Lopez had his back to the officers when he was shot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use-of-force expert Charles Key examined the case and noted that \"a subject can turn one hundred eighty degrees more quickly than the fact that he/she has turned can be comprehended; thus, the shooter who has decided to fire may not recognize that the person has turned and, perhaps, no longer presents a threat and be able to stop shooting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key also accounts for what he calls \"the mechanics of shooting,\" which changes a person's focus from what their target may be doing to \"shooting the weapon effectively.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key's analysis is further quoted in the district attorney's report on the shooting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In other words, Reboli may have accurately recalled that Perez Lopez was facing him when he made the decision to shoot and started the process of taking the first shot, but based on action versus reaction time, Perez Lopez would have been able to turn 90 to 180 degrees by the time the first bullet hit him. Further, once Reboli saw Perez Lopez coming toward him with the knife and decided to shoot, his focus would have turned to the mechanics of shooting accurately and he may have at that point lost sight of the exact position of Perez Lopez as he started firing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will never know exactly what happened in those split seconds, which direction Perez Lopez was facing and to whom he posed a threat when the officers made a decision to shoot,\" Gascón said. \"But ultimately, given the proximity of the suspect with a knife to the officers and Abraham P. of just a few feet, the law does not distinguish between whether he was shot coming toward the officers or running away. The law gives significant deference to officers in situations in which they have to make a split-second decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's investigation also intensely analyzed whether Perez Lopez dropped the knife he was holding before police started firing, something Perez Lopez's roommates believed they heard moments before the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA found that, due to the knife's position in the street after the shooting, it's likely that Perez Lopez was still holding it when he was shot. But, according to the district attorney's report, even if he wasn't:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The evidence is also consistent with the officers' \u003cem>belief\u003c/em> that Perez Lopez was still in possession of the knife when they discharged their weapons, even if the evidence supported a finding that the knife had in fact dropped a moment before the shots were fired.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mission Distirct priest Richard Smith and other advocates around the case are now looking forward to a civil trial, which could still be a year away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have yet another case of a shooting of a young man of color in which the officers will not be held accountable,\" Smith said. \"We hope to have another shot at this to get the details to light and some of the questions answered, but this is a big disappointment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the district attorney's summary of investigation and legal analysis below:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3553854-FOLSOM-STREET-SUMMARY-and-ANALYSIS\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tiffe said he announced himself as a police officer and asked Perez Lopez to step away from the car. \"Officer Tiffe then pointed to the star on his chest, in case Perez Lopez did not speak English, but he could not tell if Perez Lopez looked at it or understood he was a police officer since he said nothing and simply appeared to 'look through' him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiffe said he tried to grab Perez Lopez by the left arm and tried to take him to the ground, but Perez Lopez \"suddenly lunged up at him with his right hand,\" according to the summary of Tiffe's statement. He said he shoved Perez Lopez away, and as the two were separating, Perez Lopez swiped at his chest with an object Tiffe then realized was a \"very large knife.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reboli had come to Tiffe's aid at this point. After he was shoved away from Tiffe, Perez Lopez turned and started to run toward Reboli, according to the district attorney's summary of Reboli's statement. He said he reached for both his gun and pepper spray, but couldn't get the pepper spray out of his pocket. Reboli said he shouted either \"Police, drop the knife\" or \"Drop the knife,\" but after a momentary pause, Perez Lopez continued to approach Reboli with the knife, and the officer began to fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He fired five shots over about two seconds, which were recorded by a nearby gunshot detection device at 9:47 p.m. and the phone of the 911 caller, who was still speaking to police dispatchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Below is a 3D animation depicting the theory that Perez Lopez may have turned as the officers were deciding to shoot.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Cr_tIpl6d5I'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Cr_tIpl6d5I'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The district attorney's summary of Tiffe's statement says: \"Officer Reboli explained that, once he started to discharge his firearm, Perez Lopez began turning toward the street, then took a step or two before collapsing, face-down, between the two parked cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer Tiffe recalled that, as the shots were being fired, Perez Lopez was 'kind of moving in different directions,' was at some point 'facing, at some point he was turning away,' and appeared to fixate on something in the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiffe fired a single shot as Perez Lopez moved toward the street, the summary said: \"He didn't know exactly where Abraham P. was at that point but believed he was very close and thought that Perez Lopez was going after him, so he fired his weapon one time and saw Perez Lopez fall to the ground.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>After the Shooting\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, uniformed officers were arriving on the block of Folsom between 24th and 25th streets as the shots were being fired, according to the district attorney's summary. As one officer began CPR on Perez Lopez, who was shot through the back of the head among other wounds, another officer spoke with Abraham Perez. The officer recorded Perez saying \"that the man shot by the police wanted his bike and tried to kill him with the knife, and ... that the officer saved his life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's summary of the investigation includes statements or information from a total of 15 independent witnesses, including neighbors who said they heard gunshots and shouting, a man who called 911, a woman waiting for the bus and other bystanders. Part of their information corroborates whether officers Tiffe and Reboli shouted commands before firing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Four witnesses reported hearing some version of 'Put the knife down,' prior to shots being fired; five witnesses heard some version of 'Get on the ground!' prior to shots being fired; and six witnesses heard yelling or shouting prior to shots being fired, but did not hear or remember the words said,\" according to the district attorney's summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We have yet another case of a shooting of a young man of color in which the officers will not be held accountable. ...

Both men also told \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/13/san-francisco-police-shooting-amilcar-perez-lopez/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mission Local\u003c/a> in 2015 that they feared countering the Police Department's version of the shooting because of their undocumented immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was nearly a year after the shooting that the men, supported by a network of activists around the shooting of Perez Lopez, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/04/how-a-witness-to-fatal-s-f-police-shooting-of-amilcar-perez-lopez-came-forward/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gave statements\u003c/a> to district attorney's investigators in the church of a local priest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's investigation notes that the men were likely outside at the time of the shooting -- they were noticed by another pair of witnesses just moments before the gunshots. They both said that, from about 90 feet away, they didn't hear the officers give any commands, never saw Abraham Perez, and that it seemed Perez Lopez was running away when the officers started shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But their sight was obstructed by trees and parked vehicles, and they wouldn't have seen Abraham Perez on the other side of the cars. It would have been difficult, if not impossible, for them to see Perez Lopez at the moment he was shot, though they may have been able to see the officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>District Attorney's Analysis\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's charging decision says that, legally, the officers' account of the shooting indicates that their use of force was justified in self-defense or defense of others. The charging decision then \"turns on whether the officers' statements are consistent with the evidence,\" according to the summary of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis further narrows to \"\u003cem>the moments just before the shots were fired\u003c/em> where it was not immediately clear whether the officers' accounts could be squared with other evidence,\" according to the summary, which notes two crucial inconsistencies. \"These two areas were subject to intense analysis, including close examination by a use of force expert.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first apparent inconsistency involves Reboli's statement that he started to fire as Perez Lopez was coming toward him. \"This statement was examined in light of the findings of the Medical Examiner that five of the six shots that struck Perez Lopez struck him in the back, and with the statement of Abraham P., who said that Perez Lopez had his back to the officers when he was shot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Use-of-force expert Charles Key examined the case and noted that \"a subject can turn one hundred eighty degrees more quickly than the fact that he/she has turned can be comprehended; thus, the shooter who has decided to fire may not recognize that the person has turned and, perhaps, no longer presents a threat and be able to stop shooting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key also accounts for what he calls \"the mechanics of shooting,\" which changes a person's focus from what their target may be doing to \"shooting the weapon effectively.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key's analysis is further quoted in the district attorney's report on the shooting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In other words, Reboli may have accurately recalled that Perez Lopez was facing him when he made the decision to shoot and started the process of taking the first shot, but based on action versus reaction time, Perez Lopez would have been able to turn 90 to 180 degrees by the time the first bullet hit him. Further, once Reboli saw Perez Lopez coming toward him with the knife and decided to shoot, his focus would have turned to the mechanics of shooting accurately and he may have at that point lost sight of the exact position of Perez Lopez as he started firing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will never know exactly what happened in those split seconds, which direction Perez Lopez was facing and to whom he posed a threat when the officers made a decision to shoot,\" Gascón said. \"But ultimately, given the proximity of the suspect with a knife to the officers and Abraham P. of just a few feet, the law does not distinguish between whether he was shot coming toward the officers or running away. The law gives significant deference to officers in situations in which they have to make a split-second decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's investigation also intensely analyzed whether Perez Lopez dropped the knife he was holding before police started firing, something Perez Lopez's roommates believed they heard moments before the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA found that, due to the knife's position in the street after the shooting, it's likely that Perez Lopez was still holding it when he was shot. But, according to the district attorney's report, even if he wasn't:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The evidence is also consistent with the officers' \u003cem>belief\u003c/em> that Perez Lopez was still in possession of the knife when they discharged their weapons, even if the evidence supported a finding that the knife had in fact dropped a moment before the shots were fired.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mission Distirct priest Richard Smith and other advocates around the case are now looking forward to a civil trial, which could still be a year away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have yet another case of a shooting of a young man of color in which the officers will not be held accountable,\" Smith said. \"We hope to have another shot at this to get the details to light and some of the questions answered, but this is a big disappointment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the district attorney's summary of investigation and legal analysis below:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
