  • Police killed SoCal man with a ‘less-lethal’ round. Officer’s use of force is ruled justified

    [ad_1]

    In the dark, early-morning hours outside a McDonald’s in Orange County, a police officer fired a shotgun loaded with so-called less-lethal munitions at a man swinging a belt, cursing at officers and believed to be under the influence of drugs, authorities said.

    One, two, three, then four shots of beanbag rounds were fired from a distance of around 30 feet, but the man did not comply with orders to get on the ground, according to a report released Thursday by the Orange County district attorney’s office.

    So, the officer fired a fifth shot. It pierced the man’s chest, and he fell to the ground bleeding profusely. Less than an hour later, he was pronounced dead.

    Investigators at the district attorney’s office recently determined that Fullerton Police Cpl. Nicholas Jarvis was justified in his use of force that killed Alejandro Campos Rios, 50, on March 6, 2024.

    “Corporal Jarvis’ deployment of the less-lethal bean bag shotgun at that distance was in accordance with his training and reasonable under the circumstances,” the report states.

    Less-lethal munitions such as beanbag rounds are designed to spread the force of impact over a larger area, without penetrating the skin, offering officers an alternative to bullets when defending against threats. And as police departments’ use of force across the nation has come under greater scrutiny in recent years, the use of less-lethal munitions has grown considerably.

    “I can appreciate that there seems to be more less-lethal methods being used as opposed to just straight out shooting people,” said civil rights attorney Kellen Davis, who has prosecuted many use-of-force cases against police departments. “But I think that force, period, should be a last resort. I would appreciate seeing more deescalation tactics as opposed to use of any sort of force.”

    Less-lethal munitions have been attributed to a decrease in fatal officer-involved shootings. However, they remain a controversial tool because of the injuries they can cause — and, in rare cases such as this, death.

    The 18-page report released by the district attorney’s office paints a detailed picture of the circumstances leading up to Campos Rios’ death, but it does not provide a clear answer as to how a tool intended to stun and disable became a fatal instrument.

    The incident began at 2:55 a.m. on March 6, 2024, when the Fullerton Police Department received a call from a woman who worked at a McDonald’s at 1341 S. Brookhurst Road, reporting “two homeless men” who appeared to be “actively on drugs” near the entrance of the building. She said she feared for the safety of her coworkers arriving to work.

    An officer arrived at 3:06 a.m. and approached Campos Rios, who was singing and yelling and began thrashing his body and a nylon belt with a metal buckle in a “wild manner,” according to the report.

    The officer called for backup, and Jarvis soon arrived at the scene, where he also saw Campos Rios acting erratically and assumed he was under the influence of narcotics, according to the report. The officer told Campos Rios to drop the belt and sit on the curb, but he refused.

    The officers repeatedly asked Campos Rios to comply with their orders. He ignored them and continued throwing the belt around, cursing at officers, singing, yelling and hitting a pillar with his hands. Aside from the belt, the report does not detail any weapon he possessed.

    At 3:13 a.m., Jarvis loaded six 12-gauge drag-stabilized beanbag rounds into a Remington Model 870 Police Magnum shotgun and positioned himself around 30 feet away from Campos Rios, the report states. Officers are trained that that device can be deployed 20 to 100 feet from a target, the report states.

    The initial responding officer activated his taser, so that it created a warning noise. Campos Rios then approached him, cursing, and slammed the belt on the ground in his direction. The officer announced that he would fire his taser, and then he fired the taser, which appeared to strike Campos Rios and only agitate him further.

    Jarvis then yelled, “Bean bag! Bean bag!” and fired one round at Campos Rios, striking him in the arm. Campos Rios walked away from the first officer and toward the McDonald’s entrance, and Jarvis discharged his weapon four more times, with the final round striking Campos Rios in the chest.

    Paramedics began performing lifesaving measures at 3:22 a.m.; Campos Rios was pronounced dead at UC Irvine Medical Center at 3:55 a.m. His cause of death was ruled a penetrating chest injury to the heart and the accumulation of blood between the chest and lungs.

    The report states that Jarvis’ use of force was justified because “substantial reliable evidence supports the conclusion that at the time of the shooting, Corporal Jarvis reasonably feared for his life and the lives of others.”

    It is rare, but not unheard of, for less-lethal munitions to cause death.

    An analysis of nearly 2,000 people wounded by rubber bullets, beanbag rounds and other projectiles used by law enforcement from 1990 to 2017 found that 15% of people were permanently disabled and 3% died. Of the 53 people who died, 26 suffered head and neck trauma, and 15 suffered chest and abdominal trauma.

    The study explains that the muzzle velocity of less-lethal munitions is similar to that of lethal ammunition and that severe injuries are typically caused by rounds that strike vital organs from a close range. To prevent severe injury, officers are trained to fire from what have been deemed safe distances.

    “Safe shooting distances are not well validated, however, and are highly variable among weapons, countries and manufacturers,” the study states, adding that, in practice, less-lethal munitions may be deployed “from distances much closer than deemed safe.”

    In 2021, Gov. Newsom signed Assembly Bill 48 into law, which placed restrictions around the use of less-lethal weapons, including that they cannot be aimed at the head, neck or any other vital organs.

    Recent pro-immigration protests in Los Angeles have revived the debate around the use of less-lethals as demonstrators and members of the media have been injured by beanbag rounds and 40 mm projectiles, resulting in dozens of lawsuits.

    Davis, the civil rights attorney, said that in his experience prosecuting use-of-force cases it is extremely rare for less-lethal munitions to cause death.

    “It sounds to me like there was something defective with the weapon,” he said.

    When asked about possible defects, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said their job was to “determine whether any of the officers violated any criminal laws and did not include a review of any issues of civil liability or whether or not department policy was followed.” The Fullerton Police Department did not respond to a request for comment Thursday.

  • 5 Things to Know About New Jets Defensive Line Coach Karl Dunbar

    [ad_1]

    Ties to the Bayou State and the Steel City and Multiple Coaching Stops, Including ’12-14 with the Green & White

    Randy Lange

    Here are five things to know about Karl Dunbar, named by Jets head coach Aaron Glenn as the team’s new defensive line coach:

    Bayou Through and Through

    Karmichael MacKenzle “Karl” Dunbar has deep Louisiana roots. He was born in Opelousas, LA, in 1967, starred in football and basketball up the road at Plaisance High School, and was a three-year starter and was named second-team All-SEC as a senior defensive end at LSU. He began his coaching career at two Louisiana high schools, including his alma mater, then moved to Nicholls State in Thibodaux, LA, and had two short stints as an assistant coach at LSU.

    Further, his wife Pamela was a University of Louisiana at Lafayette graduate and their three children all had outstanding college careers in their chosen fields … at Louisiana universities.

    There could be more LA connections for Dunbar, but we won’t Geaux there anymore today.

    Pitt Stops

    Dunbar’s pro playing career began, in a manner of speaking, with Pittsburgh, which made him its eighth-round pick (209th overall) of the 1990 NFL Draft. We say “in a manner of speaking” because he never played with the Steelers, sitting out ’90 with a foot fracture from late in his last college season and being a final cut in the summer of ’91.

    He played for New Orleans in 1993 and Arizona in ’94-95 along with one-year stays with Orlando in the WLAF and the Rhein Fire in NFL Europe. His NFL career totals are 21 games played and one start. He had no pro sacks but acquired the knowledge to become a coach who has made his name in the pro game as a polisher of young talent, some into potentially big sackers.

    Dunbar obviously didn’t blame the Steelers for the quiet start to his pro career as he joined Mike Tomlin’s staff in 2018 and contributed to their top-10 NFL run defenses in ’18, ’22 and ’24 and to the league’s No. 1 sacking team with 392 QB takedowns combined from ’18-25.

    Transition to “Safety”

    Before fully committing to a coaching career, Dunbar, a criminal justice major at LSU, served as an undercover narcotics officer for the Opelousas Police Department. He was very good at his jobhe earned the nickname of :the “Human Battering Ram”for his ability to break down doors and assisted in about 60 drug-related arrests. He also was targeted by for hits by local drug dealers and was involved in gunfire during a drug bust in 1996.

    Dunbar was unhurt in the shootout, but Pamela insisted he get himself out of harm’s way, and thus a safer career in coaching football was born, starting with Opelousas HS.

    The Jets and a Few Others

    Dunbar’s coaching climb went from major college stops at LSU (of course) and Oklahoma State to the NFL. He began his pro coaching tour with Chicago in 2004 and had other assistant positions with the Vikings, Jets and Bills, before a two-year return to the SEC with Alabama and his longer tenure with the Steelers.

    His coaching superpower has been to help young D-lines and D-linemen move up in class. As a result, he’s provided his input for the careers of such as the Vikings’ Jared Allen and the Steelers’ T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward.

    And in his first tour with the Jets, under HC Rex Ryan from 2012-14, he helped get the promising playing careers of first-round draft picks Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson revved up, with Richardson being named AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and Wilkerson voted AP second-team All-Pro in 2013.

    A Lifelong Cause

    Dunbar was diagnosed in seventh grade with the skin condition vitiligo, which causes a loss of melanin in patches across the skin and has no cure. He embraced the condition, has said he views it as a “blessing,” and has advocated for vitiligo awareness.

    He has partnered with the American Skin Association to highlight the condition’s psychological effects, especially and young people’s self-esteem and with Coolibar, which specializes in sun-protective clothing, in starting his own foundation. For his efforts, Dunbar was presented with the ASA’s inaugural Trailblazer Award in 2013.

  • Suspect in NYC shooting of Jets cornerback Kris Boyd charged with attempted murder

    [ad_1]

    Frederick Green, a Bronx man who authorities said has four prior arrests, was charged Tuesday with attempted murder, assault and weapons possession in the shooting of New York Jets defensive back Kris Boyd on Nov. 16 outside a Midtown restaurant.

    Green, 20, was hiding in his girlfriend’s apartment in upstate New York and identified through social media posts and a Crime Stoppers tip, police sources told the New York Daily News. U.S. marshals took him into custody Monday in Amherst, N.Y., a suburb of Buffalo.

    Boyd, 29, was walking out of Asian fusion restaurant Sei Less with two teammates and another friend around 2 a.m. when he was shot in the abdomen and taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. The bullet lodged near his right lung in the pulmonary artery, police said.

    He posted on social media Nov. 19 that he was “starting to breathe on my own,” but two weeks ago was readmitted to the hospital because of health complications. However, Boyd had recovered enough that last week he made a surprise appearance at the Jets’ practice facility and attended a special teams meeting.

    NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a news conference last month that the shooting occurred after a group of four to five men “chirped” at Boyd and his companions outside the restaurant, making fun of their fashionable attire.

    The confrontation continued when Boyd, Jets teammates Irvin Charles and Jamien Sherwood and another friend left the restaurant minutes later after deciding not to dine there. As they left, the same group again began to “verbally insult them, and once again, questioning their clothing,” Kenny said.

    A brawl ensued and one of the fighters — later allegedly identified as Green — fired two rounds from a gun, striking Boyd. Investigators released surveillance footage of the gunman and asked the public’s help identifying him.

    In an email to The Times on Nov. 17, an NYPD spokesman said, “The sought individual is described as male, medium complexion. He was last seen wearing a black cap, black sweatshirt, black pants, multi-colored sneakers, and carrying a black bookbag.”

    Green has four prior arrests, including one in 2024 for reckless endangerment and another in 2018 for robbery that was sealed because he was a juvenile, police told the Daily News.

    Boyd’s teammates were delighted to see him at the practice facility Dec. 3.

    “I’ve had friends that didn’t survive gunshot wounds, so to be able to see him walking around with a smile on his face, be able to [talk] with him, I mean, it’s always a blessing,” Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson told ESPN. “[Guns] aren’t toys and they’re very deadly, so the fact that he walked away from it is a blessing.”

    Boyd is in his first year with the Jets after playing the last two seasons with the Houston Texans and from 2019-2022 with the Minnesota Vikings, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2019 out of Texas.

  • Suspected Marina del Rey gunman ID’d; reported self-employed chef accused of firing from rooftop

    Suspected Marina del Rey gunman ID’d; reported self-employed chef accused of firing from rooftop

    [ad_1]

    A man suspected of spraying gunfire from atop a Marina del Rey apartment complex over the weekend was identified Monday by authorities.

    The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department identified the suspect as 41-year-old Victoryloc Nguyen, who remains jailed in lieu of $2-million bail.

    No one was injured in the Saturday night shooting in the 4100 block of Via Marina, according to a written statement from the Sheriff’s Department.

    The incident began at 10:15 p.m. when deputies from the Marina del Rey sheriff’s station responded to reports of gunshots from inside the apartment complex.

    Later, a sheriff’s helicopter “observed a male suspect on the roof of the location, firing rounds from a rifle,” the statement read.

    The shooting prompted deputies from other nearby stations to respond to the location, and armored SWAT-style vehicles were dispatched.

    Videos posted on social media show a man shooting from the balcony of an apartment who can be heard saying: “I can shoot a car right now and no one would give a s—.” In other videos, bystanders shelter at home or take cover while gunfire can be heard in the background.

    Witnesses told KTLA that as many as 100 rounds were fired from the building. Jeff Rubin, who was hiding with his wife in their apartment’s bathroom, said there were at least 20 minutes of silence.

    “Then another round of gunshots and that went on for three hours,” he told the news station.

    A pair of photographs of the scene released by the sheriff’s SWAT unit show two rifles, a handgun and tactical gear lying on the ground after the suspect’s arrest early Sunday.

    City News Service reported that the suspect was a self-employed chef who specializes in organic traditional Vietnamese cuisine and might have been live-streaming the shooting.

    Authorities said the motive for the shooting was not known. Nguyen is due in court Tuesday.

  • Rain, snow and possibly another round of big waves headed for Southern California this week

    Rain, snow and possibly another round of big waves headed for Southern California this week

    [ad_1]

    Back-to-back storms off the Pacific Ocean will bring rain and snow to Southern California this week, along with the potential for another round of big waves.

    The swells that closed beaches and piers up and down the California shore eased up over the weekend, but high surf advisories remained in place in several counties as officials warned the public to avoid swimming or walking on rocks near the beach.

    Public health officials in Los Angeles County also issued a warning about high levels of bacteria from storm runoff at some local beaches, including parts of Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice and Redondo Beach.

    The Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard saw 12-foot waves on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. The area was pounded last week by waves, including large swells in Ventura that injured several onlookers who had to scramble to safety after ocean water surged over barriers and into the streets.

    In the town of Capitola in Santa Cruz County, several seaside restaurants were damaged Thursday when the rising waters swept in. It’s the second time in less than a year that Capitola has been damaged by flooding. In January, large waves and high tides destroyed parts of the town’s wharf.

    The waves are “trending down, it will continue to trend down through Tuesday,” said Ryan Kittell, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard.

    At the popular surfing break known as Mavericks near Half Moon Bay, the waves were smaller Sunday after swells that reached highs of 30 feet last week, according to the National Weather Service.

    “We’re coming down pretty good,” said weather service meteorologist Dalton Behringer, who noted that waves from Sonoma County to Monterey County were about 10 to 11 feet Sunday.

    Rain is expected in Southern California and the Central Coast, with scattered showers arriving by Sunday afternoon and widespread rain arriving Tuesday night and Wednesday.

    Also, people headed to the Rose Parade in Pasadena on Monday may want to pack a raincoat or umbrella in case of possible showers. It is expected to be partly cloudy with a 20% chance of rain in the morning, according to the National Weather Service.

    Snow will fall later in the week, with mountain areas above 5,000 feet in L.A. and Ventura counties expected to get 4 to 8 inches of snow, according to the weather service.

    The weather could impact traffic. Lower elevations, including the Grapevine area along Interstate 5, could see an inch or 2 of snow, Kittell said.

    Another round of big waves in L.A. and Ventura counties could start Jan. 7, Kittell said.
