The Riverside County Sheriff's Department released body camera footage of a shooting in Moreno Valley in which a 33-year-old man who was reportedly schizophrenic was killed.Jesus Rodriguez's mother called 911 to report her son was under the influence and was reportedly acting aggressive towards her."When deputies arrived, Rodriguez ran to his bedroom and started yelling at them from the doorway," the sheriff's department said in a press release at the time of the shooting.
Rodriguez's family had said he was having a mental health crisis when deputies responded. They added he had a BB gun and told dispatchers about that when they called for help. According to family, deputies cleared the home before entering. When they went inside, relatives say they heard gunshots. "The cops have been to my mother's house so many times that they know he's schizophrenic," the man's sister Isabel Rodriguez said at the time. "She disclosed to them that he had a BB gun - it wasn't a gun. It was a BB gun."
"There's no reason they couldn't have Tasered him," Rodriguez added. "They could have used a different kind of method, especially since he's schizophrenic."The Associated Press contributed to this report.
