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.

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.

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.
