The Contra Costa County DA’s Office said the foursome “acted with an actual and reasonable belief that deadly force was necessary.”
MARTINEZ – San Pablo police officers were justified in their use of lethal force when they gunned down a man during a traffic stop in North Richmond more than two years ago, according to a report released Friday by the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office.
“The officers acted with an actual and reasonable belief that deadly force was necessary to defend against an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury” prosecutors wrote in the 32-page report. “As such, no further action will be taken in this case.” In addition to determining lethal force was warranted, prosecutors concluded the four officers acted lawfully when they stopped Escalera-Valdez in his vehicle and tried to detain him. At the time, they were going off information they received in a 911 call – a second employee at the Evergreen Market told dispatchers a man, later identified as Escalera-Valdez, was sitting in a pickup truck with a gun in his hands.
