Two former Whittier police detectives have been charged with assault on allegations that they shot a fleeing suspect in the back, leaving the man paralyzed, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Two former Whittier detectives were charged with assault Wednesday on allegations that they shot a fleeing unarmed suspect in the back, severing his spine following a brief pursuit in 2020.
“One shot completely severed his spinal cord, immediately paralyzing him from the waist down,” Gascón said. “Although he was lucky to survive, his life was forever changed.” Carrillo was not suspected in the robbery the detectives were investigating, according to Gascón, but police were looking for a female passenger in the sedan. The initial robbery did not involve a weapon and no one was injured, according to Teran. The woman eventually pleaded guilty to a crime, Teran said, but did not offer specifics.
Lopez was charged with two counts of assault under the color of authority, one count of assault with a firearm and one count of shooting at an occupied vehicle. Murillo was charged with two counts of assault with a firearm and two counts of assault under color of authority.The officers are no longer employed by the Whittier Police Department, though Police Chief Aviv Bar would not say whether they resigned or were fired.
