It's undisputed that Moore and his partner, Jason Jessie, were acting strangely, running naked around their home and smashing car windows. Neighbor Marvin Clouse, who videotaped much of the incident, ran into his adjacent house to call 911 when he heard the men discussing setting their home on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard to see much in Clouse's darkened video, which he provided to KQED, especially after police arrived and he was pushed back across the street. But he captured audio of the shooting, including an initial barrage of about 13 shots followed several seconds later by two more shots. Moore died of two gunshot wounds to the front of his torso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Listen to the sounds of the shooting below. This audio is graphic.

No handgun was recovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obviously there was some great un-clarity among the Police Department after the shooting on issues that should have been really clear if they were true,\" Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A witness who lived across the street, Jaime Alvarado, told KQED that Moore was naked and unarmed when he was shot from several feet away by an officer standing at the base of stairs leading to the home's porch. Trajectory analysis of the two bullet wounds in Moore's torso show the rounds were traveling upward, which is consistent with Alvarado's account of events. Alvarado said he also watched police retrieve a long-barrel rifle from inside the house long after the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado said he saw \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/04/131648/vallejo-police-killing-mystery\" target=\"_blank\">Moore's hands flailing in the air right before he was shot\u003c/a>, a movement Moore's parents said could be attributed to their son's autism spectrum disorder. Lisa Moore said her son would often wave his hands when he was nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> If either of the final two shots Kenney fired were among the ones that struck Moore, he would have had to be on his back because his wounds were in the front of his torso. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>KQED tracked down Jason Jessie in Arizona, where he now lives. He said the shooting was traumatic and he has \"blocked out\" much of what happened that night. But he did recall owning what he described as \"a .22 rifle from the '20s.\" It was an antique, he said, that he collected as part of his eBay buying and selling business. The Police Department's initial statement says detectives recovered a round that was chambered in the rifle, but that detail is not repeated in the district attorney's summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An independent forensic pathologist consulted by KQED on background said the upward trajectory is possible in both Alvarado's scenario and the very different one outlined in the district attorney's summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the DA's summary:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Sgt. Clark announced the presence of the police and asked the occupants of the residence to 'come out' or words to that effect. Officer Kenney was positioned to the side and was covering Sgt.

It's undisputed that Moore and his partner, Jason Jessie, were acting strangely, running naked around their home and smashing car windows.

Alvarado said he also watched police retrieve a long-barrel rifle from inside the house long after the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado said he saw \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/04/131648/vallejo-police-killing-mystery\" target=\"_blank\">Moore's hands flailing in the air right before he was shot\u003c/a>, a movement Moore's parents said could be attributed to their son's autism spectrum disorder.

He said the shooting was traumatic and he has \"blocked out\" much of what happened that night. But he did recall owning what he described as \"a .22 rifle from the '20s.\" It was an antique, he said, that he collected as part of his eBay buying and selling business. The Police Department's initial statement says detectives recovered a round that was chambered in the rifle, but that detail is not repeated in the district attorney's summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An independent forensic pathologist consulted by KQED on background said the upward trajectory is possible in both Alvarado's scenario and the very different one outlined in the district attorney's summary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the DA's summary:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Sgt.

Vallejo police shot and killed three people in 2013 and another one last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not merely lightning striking in 2012 — lightning keeps on striking in Vallejo,” Zimring said. “Use of lethal force, whether justified or not in individual cases, is systemically problematic in Vallejo in a way that compels a heck of a lot more attention than it’s been getting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/19/vallejo-city-manager-responds-to-questions-about-police-shootings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email response to questions\u003c/a> about fatal police shootings in Vallejo, City Manager Dan Keen said more than 75 percent of Vallejo's homicides last year were gang-related, and police routinely encounter dangerous situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In 2012 and 2013, through direct contact with citizens and Vallejo Police Officers, each year, more than 200 illegal firearms were seized from individuals in Vallejo,\" \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/19/vallejo-city-manager-responds-to-questions-about-police-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keen wrote\u003c/a>. \"In 2013, Vallejo Police Officers responded to hundreds of 'shots-fired' calls, including more than 200 shootings where individuals were victims of firearms violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the rate of fatal police shootings in Vallejo is far higher than in bigger Bay Area cities also dealing with high crime rates.

Here's what happened next, according to the department account:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The suspect did not comply and continued running towards the officer. The officer began backing up and telling the suspect several times to show him his hands. The suspect had his hands in his waistband area of his hooded sweat jacket. The suspect reached into his pocket and pull out a dark colored metal object. The officer believed the suspect was now armed, was in fear the suspect was going to kill him or shoot other officers. The officer fired his service weapon and struck the suspect several times. The suspect fell to the sidewalk but tried to get up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer began telling the additional officers that the suspect had a gun. The suspect was immobilized by another officer who used his taser.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The dark-colored object that police say Barrett reached for turned out to be a metal wallet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all that was happening, Officers Boyce, Thompson and a police canine named Yago caught up to the younger Barrett. The lawsuit alleges Thompson ordered the dog to attack Barrett, who was unarmed. After dragging him from the bushes, Boyce threw Barrett to the ground and handcuffed him, then leaned his knee on Barrett’s head as he questioned him. Then, the suit alleges, Thompson ordered the dog to again attack the handcuffed Barrett while threatening to kill the 18-year-old and calling him a “nigger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adante Pointer, an Oakland-based civil rights attorney with the law offices of John Burris, is representing Anton Barrett and other members of his father’s family in their lawsuit against Vallejo. He said the repeated attack on the younger Barrett points to “the culture in terms of the way police are approaching how they deal with suspects and just the manner of how they’re dealing with the people of Vallejo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly two years after Barrett died, the Police Department and Solano County District Attorney's Office have yet to conclude their review of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Sept. 2, 2012: The Mario Romero Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2012, Vallejo police officers Kenney and Dustin Joseph were on their way to a reported burglary when they spotted two black men in a parked Ford Thunderbird about a block and a half from the reported crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223937993/Mario-Romero-Joseph-Johnson-Solano-County-District-Attorney-Letter-to-Vallejo-s-Police-Chief-13-06-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A later review of the shooting\u003c/a> by the Solano County District Attorney's Office lays out the probable cause for Kenney and Joseph to approach Mario Romero, 23, in the driver’s seat of the Thunderbird, and its passenger, Joseph Johnson, 21 at the time: There had been a recent spike in gang-related gun violence in the area, the review says, and Kenney recalled a similar car described in one shooting incident about a month before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These were also the only two people out on the street just after 4:30 a.m., and the vehicle’s occupants “appeared shocked to see the marked Vallejo Police unit coming down the street,\" according to the district attorney's review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The review says both Joseph and Kenney exited their cruiser and Romero stepped out of the Thunderbird while reaching into his waistband. Joseph saw a gun in Romero’s hand, and Kenney saw what he thought was a movement of reaching for a gun. Both fired at Romero multiple times, and he fell back into the Thunderbird. Kenney and Joseph continued to shout for Romero to “show his hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Romero re-emerged into view with both hands still clenched toward the center of his body like he was holding a firearm, [Officer] Kenney fired several more shots,” the district attorney's review says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers fired a third volley of gunshots at Romero as he “started to come up looking directly at [Officer] Kenney. ... These shots appeared to have an effect, as both officers saw Mr. Romero settle back and stop moving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solano County coroner said Romero was shot 30 times, including three to the head, five to the neck, six to the torso, six to his upper right extremity, nine to his upper left extremity and one to the left thigh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passenger Joseph Johnson was also shot, surviving a single bullet wound to his pelvic area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223938746/Johnson-et-al-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-13-10-04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a federal lawsuit\u003c/a> filed against the police department, Romero's three sisters say they were were in their home waiting for Johnson and Romero to come in. The women say they heard a commotion outside, went to a window and saw Officer Dustin Joseph open fire on the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Romero’s sisters dispute several details of the police account. While the district attorney’s review states Kenney jumped on the hood of the Thunderbird only to check the car after the shooting had stopped, the witnesses inside the house say they saw Joseph fire several rounds while standing on the hood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA's review reports that after the shooting, Kenney went into the Thunderbird looking for the weapon he and Joseph had seen in Romero’s hands:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“He found it wedged between the center console and the rear portion of the driver’s seat, near the floorboard of the passenger area immediately behind the driver’s seat. He briefly lifted the firearm with the intent to clear it of any live ammunition, but put it back in place when he realized he was not wearing gloves and that there was blood on it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun. Police also recovered baggies of pills later determined to be methamphetamine. Romero's toxicology report, according the DA's review, found he had a significant amount of methamphetamine in his system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland attorney Catherine Haley, who is representing Romero’s family and Joseph Johnson, called the shooting “absolutely execution-style.” She said it’s difficult to believe Romero would continue to reach for a fake gun while police fired at least 30 .40-caliber bullets into the car. And Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions about the integrity of the investigation on which both the district attorney and the U.S. attorney’s office based their reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review gives far more weight to statements from the involved officers, compared with those made by civilian witnesses inside the house. Romero’s sisters tried to accompany their brother's body and the wounded Joseph to the hospital, but were told to get back inside their house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though police knew they were there, no one interviewed them for more than two months after the shooting. That's despite the fact both a Solano County district attorney’s investigator and Vallejo Police Lt. Sid De Jesus have said all witness statements should be taken as soon as possible after this kind of incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review explains the credence given to the officers' account this way :\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The statements of Mr. Romero’s sisters were all made almost ten weeks after this incident occurred. During that time, it would have been natural for them to reflect and discuss this incident. In contrast, the statements made by [Officer] Joseph and [Officer] Kenney were taken merely hours after the incident, when neither of them had a chance to speak to the other nor to any other involved person, as they were removed from the scene and sequestered almost immediately after the incident.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>De Jesus says that under orders from Vallejo Police Chief Joseph Kreins, the department will no longer comment on officer-involved shootings. Kreins issued the order after stories about fatal October 2012 shooting of Jeremiah Moore — also allegedly involving Officer Kenney. De Jesus did confirm that Kenney had been reassigned to the detective’s division, which he characterized as a \"lateral movement,\" not a promotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Oct. 21, 2012: The Jeremiah Moore Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136545\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 112px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-136545 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/9644_transform.jpg\" alt=\"Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/04/131648/vallejo-police-killing-mystery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED reported\u003c/a> in early April that the Solano County district attorney’s review of Jeremiah Moore’s killing on Oct. 21, 2012, by Vallejo police had been ongoing for a year and a half. Neither investigators with the office nor police detectives had interviewed a witness who lived across the street from the incident and whose account contradicted key points of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_claim\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the police department's statement on the shooting\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors called 911 after a chaotic evening in which Moore and his roommate smashed windows in their cars and were overheard saying they were about to set their home on fire. Police responded and said \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a press release\u003c/a> that officers fatally wounded Moore after he threatened an officer with a rifle, placing it “directly against an officer’s stomach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But witness Jaime Alvarado said he saw Moore naked with nothing in his hands when he was shot by a Vallejo police officer standing about 8 to 10 feet away. Alvarado said he tried to go outside after the scene had calmed down to give a statement to police, but was told to go back inside. He was finally interviewed by district attorney's investigators last month — a year and a half after the shooting and only after KQED had published his account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 29, Oakland civil rights attorney Michael Haddad filed a federal \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/federal-civil-rights-lawsuit-filed-in-vallejo-police-killing-of-jeremiah-moore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo, the police department, Chief Kreins and Kenney, whom the lawsuit names as one of perhaps several police officers who may have opened fire. Haddad also said that Alvarado’s account suggests police invented their details of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Moore shooting also suggests police escalated a situation that could have been defused if officers had approached it as a mental health call, Haddad said. He added they should have known what they were approaching because people calling 911 described naked men, running, shouting and breaking windows outside their home in a generally quiet neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need much more information than that to know that somebody has some sort of mental disturbance,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad is also critical of California law and law-enforcement policies that make it difficult to get basic information about officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t imagine the government can just take someone’s life and not even explain why, and that’s the situation we’re living in in California,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “For them to be able to hide behind the law that protects police officers’ personnel information, to hide behind that law and not justify their taking of life is really abhorrent, and it’s a situation that must be changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Force Claims\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Kenney is also named in two other federal lawsuits alleging brutality in non-fatal interactions with suspects in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyrone Hicks alleged that a traffic stop on March 30 of that year quickly escalated when Kenney began choking Hicks’ passenger, Teresa Scott, just after he had been ordered out of his vehicle and handcuffed by another Vallejo officer. Hicks says he told Kenney he had no right to choke Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225180033/Tyrone-Edward-Hicks-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-Amended-Complaint-14-04-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the lawsuit\u003c/a>: “Defendant Kenney approached Plaintiff [Hicks], placed his hands around Plaintiff’s throat and began choking Plaintiff where Plaintiff could not breathe. ... The choking occurred approximately for 15-20 seconds and Plaintiff was placed in a patrol car.” The second officer involved in the incident is accused of failing to intercede to stop the alleged choking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"97698f477385328fd9cc9f400df4fcd0\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit says Hicks was booked for possession of cocaine for sale, but the charges were dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spawned from a separate incident, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225181166/IDC-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-First-Amended-Complaint-14-01-14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Carter’s lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo says he had been working with his son on Aug. 17, 2012, at a property on Indiana Street. The suit alleges that Vallejo police officers Kenney and Thompson were chasing a separate group of youths suspected of trespassing, and the officers apparently mistook Carter’s son for one in the group they had been chasing, confronting him at a cousin’s home at 640 Indiana St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers allegedly shot the unnamed minor with a Taser, then “began beating, choking, and pepper spraying” him, the suit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks and others claiming to be injured by Vallejo police say they are part of a group of residents in the city who have been subjected to a “long-standing practice, policy or custom of allowing Vallejo police officers to use excessive force.” The group is organized by Frederick Cooley, who recently settled \u003ca href=\"http://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FDCO%2020131030785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his lawsuit against the city\u003c/a> originating from a confrontation with Officers Kenney and Eric Jensen in late 2011. A Vallejo police department union newsletter says Cooley was arrested for driving a stolen car.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“This is not no new thing.

When the officers got to the emergency room, Jensen told medical workers that Cooley had been injured in a car crash, according to Cooley. Cooley did crash into two parked cars, according to the police union blotter, but Cooley said that's not how he was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he was released from the hospital, Cooley ended up in the medical facilities of Solano County Jail. “There I met almost 40 different individuals who had been housed there because of injuries they received from Vallejo PD,” he said. “So that’s what started it all. Most of us knew each other, but if we didn’t, we had something in common. Most everybody in the medical area was beat up by the police, dog bites, Tasers, beat with a baton, broken legs, ankles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooley won a legal fight compelling the Vallejo Police Department to disclose 10 years of internal affairs investigations, including any instances in which Kenney or Jensen were accused of excessive force, dishonesty or falsification of evidence. Rather than disclose the information, Vallejo settled Cooley's case in December 2013 for $35,000, Cooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not a bad person — I have made mistakes in the past, but right now, I think we can make this a better place to live,\" said Cooley, who says he's lived Vallejo for 30 years. \"This is not no new thing. They've been doing this for a long time, but it's come to a head, where they're killing unarmed individuals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Attorney for California’s Eastern District confirmed the office had reviewed the Mario Romero shooting, and said \"the facts did not present a prosecutable criminal offense for violation of federal civil rights laws.\" She said the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice reached a similar conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She directed further questions to the U.S. Department of Justice about when the federal government would get involved in a police department’s use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department did not respond to phone calls and emails requesting an explanation of how it decides to investigate cities like Albuquerque, where they found a “pattern or practice of excessive force that violates the Constitution and federal law.”\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"With six fatal shootings in 2012, Vallejo police accounted for nearly a third of the city's killings.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1593558818,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":76,"wordCount":3850},"headData":{"title":"Questions Surround Surge in Vallejo Police Shootings | KQED","description":"With six fatal shootings in 2012, Vallejo police accounted for nearly a third of the city's killings.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"135682 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=135682","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/20/amid-a-series-of-vallejo-police-shootings-one-officers-name-stands-out/","disqusTitle":"Questions Surround Surge in Vallejo Police Shootings","customPermalink":"vallejo-police-officer-named-in-three-fatal-shootings/","path":"/news/135682/amid-a-series-of-vallejo-police-shootings-one-officers-name-stands-out","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132019\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/81018775.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132019\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/81018775-640x441.jpg\" alt=\"File photo of the Vallejo Police Department.

Within minutes, the unarmed Barrett had been fatally shot, then shocked with a Taser.

Here's what happened next, according to the department account:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The suspect did not comply and continued running towards the officer. The officer began backing up and telling the suspect several times to show him his hands. The suspect had his hands in his waistband area of his hooded sweat jacket. The suspect reached into his pocket and pull out a dark colored metal object. The officer believed the suspect was now armed, was in fear the suspect was going to kill him or shoot other officers. The officer fired his service weapon and struck the suspect several times. The suspect fell to the sidewalk but tried to get up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer began telling the additional officers that the suspect had a gun. The suspect was immobilized by another officer who used his taser.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The dark-colored object that police say Barrett reached for turned out to be a metal wallet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all that was happening, Officers Boyce, Thompson and a police canine named Yago caught up to the younger Barrett. The lawsuit alleges Thompson ordered the dog to attack Barrett, who was unarmed. After dragging him from the bushes, Boyce threw Barrett to the ground and handcuffed him, then leaned his knee on Barrett’s head as he questioned him. Then, the suit alleges, Thompson ordered the dog to again attack the handcuffed Barrett while threatening to kill the 18-year-old and calling him a “nigger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adante Pointer, an Oakland-based civil rights attorney with the law offices of John Burris, is representing Anton Barrett and other members of his father’s family in their lawsuit against Vallejo. He said the repeated attack on the younger Barrett points to “the culture in terms of the way police are approaching how they deal with suspects and just the manner of how they’re dealing with the people of Vallejo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly two years after Barrett died, the Police Department and Solano County District Attorney's Office have yet to conclude their review of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Sept. 2, 2012: The Mario Romero Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2012, Vallejo police officers Kenney and Dustin Joseph were on their way to a reported burglary when they spotted two black men in a parked Ford Thunderbird about a block and a half from the reported crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223937993/Mario-Romero-Joseph-Johnson-Solano-County-District-Attorney-Letter-to-Vallejo-s-Police-Chief-13-06-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A later review of the shooting\u003c/a> by the Solano County District Attorney's Office lays out the probable cause for Kenney and Joseph to approach Mario Romero, 23, in the driver’s seat of the Thunderbird, and its passenger, Joseph Johnson, 21 at the time: There had been a recent spike in gang-related gun violence in the area, the review says, and Kenney recalled a similar car described in one shooting incident about a month before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These were also the only two people out on the street just after 4:30 a.m., and the vehicle’s occupants “appeared shocked to see the marked Vallejo Police unit coming down the street,\" according to the district attorney's review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The review says both Joseph and Kenney exited their cruiser and Romero stepped out of the Thunderbird while reaching into his waistband. Joseph saw a gun in Romero’s hand, and Kenney saw what he thought was a movement of reaching for a gun. Both fired at Romero multiple times, and he fell back into the Thunderbird. Kenney and Joseph continued to shout for Romero to “show his hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Romero re-emerged into view with both hands still clenched toward the center of his body like he was holding a firearm, [Officer] Kenney fired several more shots,” the district attorney's review says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers fired a third volley of gunshots at Romero as he “started to come up looking directly at [Officer] Kenney. ... These shots appeared to have an effect, as both officers saw Mr. Romero settle back and stop moving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solano County coroner said Romero was shot 30 times, including three to the head, five to the neck, six to the torso, six to his upper right extremity, nine to his upper left extremity and one to the left thigh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passenger Joseph Johnson was also shot, surviving a single bullet wound to his pelvic area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/223938746/Johnson-et-al-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-13-10-04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a federal lawsuit\u003c/a> filed against the police department, Romero's three sisters say they were were in their home waiting for Johnson and Romero to come in. The women say they heard a commotion outside, went to a window and saw Officer Dustin Joseph open fire on the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Romero’s sisters dispute several details of the police account. While the district attorney’s review states Kenney jumped on the hood of the Thunderbird only to check the car after the shooting had stopped, the witnesses inside the house say they saw Joseph fire several rounds while standing on the hood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA's review reports that after the shooting, Kenney went into the Thunderbird looking for the weapon he and Joseph had seen in Romero’s hands:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“He found it wedged between the center console and the rear portion of the driver’s seat, near the floorboard of the passenger area immediately behind the driver’s seat. He briefly lifted the firearm with the intent to clear it of any live ammunition, but put it back in place when he realized he was not wearing gloves and that there was blood on it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The weapon turned out to be a pellet gun. Police also recovered baggies of pills later determined to be methamphetamine. Romero's toxicology report, according the DA's review, found he had a significant amount of methamphetamine in his system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland attorney Catherine Haley, who is representing Romero’s family and Joseph Johnson, called the shooting “absolutely execution-style.” She said it’s difficult to believe Romero would continue to reach for a fake gun while police fired at least 30 .40-caliber bullets into the car. And Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions about the integrity of the investigation on which both the district attorney and the U.S. attorney’s office based their reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Kenney’s handling of evidence without gloves, in a shooting he had just participated in, raises significant questions.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review gives far more weight to statements from the involved officers, compared with those made by civilian witnesses inside the house. Romero’s sisters tried to accompany their brother's body and the wounded Joseph to the hospital, but were told to get back inside their house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though police knew they were there, no one interviewed them for more than two months after the shooting. That's despite the fact both a Solano County district attorney’s investigator and Vallejo Police Lt. Sid De Jesus have said all witness statements should be taken as soon as possible after this kind of incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney’s review explains the credence given to the officers' account this way :\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The statements of Mr. Romero’s sisters were all made almost ten weeks after this incident occurred. During that time, it would have been natural for them to reflect and discuss this incident. In contrast, the statements made by [Officer] Joseph and [Officer] Kenney were taken merely hours after the incident, when neither of them had a chance to speak to the other nor to any other involved person, as they were removed from the scene and sequestered almost immediately after the incident.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>De Jesus says that under orders from Vallejo Police Chief Joseph Kreins, the department will no longer comment on officer-involved shootings. Kreins issued the order after stories about fatal October 2012 shooting of Jeremiah Moore — also allegedly involving Officer Kenney. De Jesus did confirm that Kenney had been reassigned to the detective’s division, which he characterized as a \"lateral movement,\" not a promotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Oct. 21, 2012: The Jeremiah Moore Case\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136545\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 112px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-136545 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/9644_transform.jpg\" alt=\"Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeremiah Moore (Courtesy of Lisa Moore.)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/04/131648/vallejo-police-killing-mystery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED reported\u003c/a> in early April that the Solano County district attorney’s review of Jeremiah Moore’s killing on Oct. 21, 2012, by Vallejo police had been ongoing for a year and a half. Neither investigators with the office nor police detectives had interviewed a witness who lived across the street from the incident and whose account contradicted key points of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_claim\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the police department's statement on the shooting\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors called 911 after a chaotic evening in which Moore and his roommate smashed windows in their cars and were overheard saying they were about to set their home on fire. Police responded and said \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=31056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a press release\u003c/a> that officers fatally wounded Moore after he threatened an officer with a rifle, placing it “directly against an officer’s stomach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But witness Jaime Alvarado said he saw Moore naked with nothing in his hands when he was shot by a Vallejo police officer standing about 8 to 10 feet away. Alvarado said he tried to go outside after the scene had calmed down to give a statement to police, but was told to go back inside. He was finally interviewed by district attorney's investigators last month — a year and a half after the shooting and only after KQED had published his account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 29, Oakland civil rights attorney Michael Haddad filed a federal \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/federal-civil-rights-lawsuit-filed-in-vallejo-police-killing-of-jeremiah-moore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo, the police department, Chief Kreins and Kenney, whom the lawsuit names as one of perhaps several police officers who may have opened fire. Haddad also said that Alvarado’s account suggests police invented their details of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Moore shooting also suggests police escalated a situation that could have been defused if officers had approached it as a mental health call, Haddad said. He added they should have known what they were approaching because people calling 911 described naked men, running, shouting and breaking windows outside their home in a generally quiet neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t need much more information than that to know that somebody has some sort of mental disturbance,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad is also critical of California law and law-enforcement policies that make it difficult to get basic information about officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t imagine the government can just take someone’s life and not even explain why, and that’s the situation we’re living in in California,” Haddad said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “For them to be able to hide behind the law that protects police officers’ personnel information, to hide behind that law and not justify their taking of life is really abhorrent, and it’s a situation that must be changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Force Claims\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Kenney is also named in two other federal lawsuits alleging brutality in non-fatal interactions with suspects in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyrone Hicks alleged that a traffic stop on March 30 of that year quickly escalated when Kenney began choking Hicks’ passenger, Teresa Scott, just after he had been ordered out of his vehicle and handcuffed by another Vallejo officer. Hicks says he told Kenney he had no right to choke Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225180033/Tyrone-Edward-Hicks-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-Amended-Complaint-14-04-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the lawsuit\u003c/a>: “Defendant Kenney approached Plaintiff [Hicks], placed his hands around Plaintiff’s throat and began choking Plaintiff where Plaintiff could not breathe. ... The choking occurred approximately for 15-20 seconds and Plaintiff was placed in a patrol car.” The second officer involved in the incident is accused of failing to intercede to stop the alleged choking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit says Hicks was booked for possession of cocaine for sale, but the charges were dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spawned from a separate incident, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/225181166/IDC-v-City-of-Vallejo-et-al-First-Amended-Complaint-14-01-14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Carter’s lawsuit\u003c/a> against Vallejo says he had been working with his son on Aug. 17, 2012, at a property on Indiana Street. The suit alleges that Vallejo police officers Kenney and Thompson were chasing a separate group of youths suspected of trespassing, and the officers apparently mistook Carter’s son for one in the group they had been chasing, confronting him at a cousin’s home at 640 Indiana St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers allegedly shot the unnamed minor with a Taser, then “began beating, choking, and pepper spraying” him, the suit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks and others claiming to be injured by Vallejo police say they are part of a group of residents in the city who have been subjected to a “long-standing practice, policy or custom of allowing Vallejo police officers to use excessive force.” The group is organized by Frederick Cooley, who recently settled \u003ca href=\"http://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FDCO%2020131030785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his lawsuit against the city\u003c/a> originating from a confrontation with Officers Kenney and Eric Jensen in late 2011. A Vallejo police department union newsletter says Cooley was arrested for driving a stolen car.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“This is not no new thing.

When the officers got to the emergency room, Jensen told medical workers that Cooley had been injured in a car crash, according to Cooley. Cooley did crash into two parked cars, according to the police union blotter, but Cooley said that's not how he was injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he was released from the hospital, Cooley ended up in the medical facilities of Solano County Jail. “There I met almost 40 different individuals who had been housed there because of injuries they received from Vallejo PD,” he said. “So that’s what started it all. Most of us knew each other, but if we didn’t, we had something in common. Most everybody in the medical area was beat up by the police, dog bites, Tasers, beat with a baton, broken legs, ankles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooley won a legal fight compelling the Vallejo Police Department to disclose 10 years of internal affairs investigations, including any instances in which Kenney or Jensen were accused of excessive force, dishonesty or falsification of evidence. Rather than disclose the information, Vallejo settled Cooley's case in December 2013 for $35,000, Cooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not a bad person — I have made mistakes in the past, but right now, I think we can make this a better place to live,\" said Cooley, who says he's lived Vallejo for 30 years. \"This is not no new thing.

Lisa Moore says as an infant, her son was a wonderfully well-behaved baby who would sit quietly in a playpen for hours.

Lisa Moore said he began speaking late, and his difficulty communicating would frustrate him, but he was never violent. She choked up remembering a time her son asked her why he never got invited to parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Moore started attending community college, “all of a sudden he just blossomed,” says his father, Eugene Moore. He pursued his interest in working with his hands and was well on his way to becoming a journeyman plumber when he was shot.

Of the 21 completed investigations since 2008, most were finished within a year. Only two have taken longer than Moore’s case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of those shootings were by Vallejo police, and six occurred in 2012, a year after the city emerged from \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201303221630/b\" target=\"_blank\">bankruptcy\u003c/a> following the recession.

Witnesses say a police officer got up on the hood of a car and fired at Mario Romero and another man sitting inside the car, but the police and the DA investigation concluded the officer did not fire from the hood of the car. Romero died, and the DA and U.S. Attorney's office cleared the officer of any wrongdoing in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo criminal defense attorney Dan Russo is familiar with the Moore shooting, and he says he has serious doubts about the police department’s story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if this shooting was a legitimate use of deadly force, that’s something that should have been figured out a year ago,” he says. “This is why people distrust public agencies, and more important than that, Vallejo is in a really stressful situation. The last thing you want to do is lose community support, and when an investigation into a shooting takes a year and a half, without any kind of pronouncement, without any kind of information to the parties, it’s corrupting to everything. It creates a bad environment in the city. It makes the cops’ job harder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo says he’s used to homicide cases that are filed within days of an incident, and that much of the information Moore’s parents are still seeking in order to understand what happened that night is normally made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo also says he doesn’t see the Moore shooting as an isolated incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?containerId=googft-gviz-canvas&q=select+col4%2C+count()+from+1qVUrvNfuc5-Mcg2FrED6ejTFYbMXPi5hUTL-hv60+group+by+col4+order+by+col4+asc+limit+10&viz=GVIZ&t=COLUMN&uiversion=2&gco_forceIFrame=true&gco_hasLabelsColumn=true&gco_vAxes=%5B%7B%22title%22%3Anull%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%5D&gco_useFirstColumnAsDomain=true&gco_isStacked=false&gco_booleanRole=certainty&gco_hAxis=%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindowMode%22%3Anull%2C+%22textStyle%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23222%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%229%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D%2C+%22slantedTextAngle%22%3A30%2C+%22slantedText%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_legend=none&gco_title=Investigations+of+Officer-Involved+Shootings+Completed+by+the+Solano+County+DA+since+2008&gco_series=%7B%220%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%230000ff%22%7D%7D&gco_titleTextStyle=%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%2216%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_fontName=Arial&width=640&height=300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"300\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody is going to have to take responsibility for the fact that because of cutbacks to the police department, police are less supported,” he says.

Sid De Jesus says there are a lot of theories about the increase in officer-involved shootings in 2012. He says violent crime was up substantially, and the department was down to 84 sworn officers from 158 when the recession began in 2008. That puts Vallejo’s officer-to-population ratio at about half the national average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It creates a huge safety concern for officers,” he says. “But more importantly, it (the low police presence) creates a huge safety concern for citizens of this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Jesus says quality of life in Vallejo has suffered, and officers who elected to stay with the struggling department in the struggling city are concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano District Attorney du Bain says his office’s review of the Moore shooting is close to completion.

It’s not uncommon for cases such as this, especially a case such as this that is completely complex. A lot of people may say, 'What makes it so complex?' There’s a lot of moving parts to it. There’s a lot of extenuating issues that were involved in this. And for those that were involved with the case and read what was publicized in the paper.

He made friends with people with similar interests in an online lighting community, his father says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clouse remembers Moore’s eyes sparkling when he saw an old fluorescent light bulb in his neighbor’s shed. “He said, ‘Ooooh, can I have that?’” Clouse says. He says Moore was always kind and had been helping him work on his truck in the days before he was shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Jeremiah was a good worker,\" Clouse says. \"He’d get up at 2 in the morning to drive down to San Jose and work as a plumber, and he was always fixing his cars and they were fixing computers. I could come over with any questions, and he was a really kind, caring person. And I really miss him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore met Jason Jessie online and moved into Jessie's rented house on Alameda Drive less than a year before the shooting. His parents say it was Moore's first serious romantic relationship, and he kept it fairly private. Sometimes the couple would fight, and Moore would call his mother to talk it out, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessie says the only gun in their house was an antique .22-caliber rifle from the 1920s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clouse says the police could have helped Moore. \"My feeling about the police is that I believe they murdered my neighbor Jeremiah,\" Clouse says, \"and they came in like a SWAT team attacking someone who was not a threat, someone who actually needed to be helped.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Investigating Officer-Involved Shootings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All police departments in Solano County have signed on to the district attorney’s “Officer Involved Fatal Incident Protocol,” which dictates a joint investigation by local police detectives and DA investigators. Of the 21 completed investigations since 2008, most were finished within a year. Only two have taken longer than Moore’s case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of those shootings were by Vallejo police, and six occurred in 2012, a year after the city emerged from \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201303221630/b\" target=\"_blank\">bankruptcy\u003c/a> following the recession. Perhaps the most \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/09/21/pressure-mounting-in-vallejo-police-fatal-shooting/\" target=\"_blank\">notorious\u003c/a> incident occurred seven weeks before Moore's shooting. Witnesses say a police officer got up on the hood of a car and fired at Mario Romero and another man sitting inside the car, but the police and the DA investigation concluded the officer did not fire from the hood of the car. Romero died, and the DA and U.S. Attorney's office cleared the officer of any wrongdoing in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo criminal defense attorney Dan Russo is familiar with the Moore shooting, and he says he has serious doubts about the police department’s story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if this shooting was a legitimate use of deadly force, that’s something that should have been figured out a year ago,” he says. “This is why people distrust public agencies, and more important than that, Vallejo is in a really stressful situation. The last thing you want to do is lose community support, and when an investigation into a shooting takes a year and a half, without any kind of pronouncement, without any kind of information to the parties, it’s corrupting to everything. It creates a bad environment in the city. It makes the cops’ job harder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo says he’s used to homicide cases that are filed within days of an incident, and that much of the information Moore’s parents are still seeking in order to understand what happened that night is normally made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russo also says he doesn’t see the Moore shooting as an isolated incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?containerId=googft-gviz-canvas&q=select+col4%2C+count()+from+1qVUrvNfuc5-Mcg2FrED6ejTFYbMXPi5hUTL-hv60+group+by+col4+order+by+col4+asc+limit+10&viz=GVIZ&t=COLUMN&uiversion=2&gco_forceIFrame=true&gco_hasLabelsColumn=true&gco_vAxes=%5B%7B%22title%22%3Anull%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3Anull%2C+%22min%22%3Anull%7D%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22logScale%22%3Afalse%7D%5D&gco_useFirstColumnAsDomain=true&gco_isStacked=false&gco_booleanRole=certainty&gco_hAxis=%7B%22useFormatFromData%22%3Atrue%2C+%22minValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22maxValue%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindow%22%3Anull%2C+%22viewWindowMode%22%3Anull%2C+%22textStyle%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23222%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%229%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D%2C+%22slantedTextAngle%22%3A30%2C+%22slantedText%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_legend=none&gco_title=Investigations+of+Officer-Involved+Shootings+Completed+by+the+Solano+County+DA+since+2008&gco_series=%7B%220%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22%230000ff%22%7D%7D&gco_titleTextStyle=%7B%22color%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C+%22fontSize%22%3A%2216%22%2C+%22bold%22%3Atrue%7D&gco_fontName=Arial&width=640&height=300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"300\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody is going to have to take responsibility for the fact that because of cutbacks to the police department, police are less supported,” he says. That means there are fewer officers to cover each other, he says, and creates a situation where there's little accountability when it comes to shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This kind of all adds up to an environment where you’re not telling anybody what’s happening, and you have what I consider in my experience of being in this town for 37 years, a really unusual environment where you have a large number of police shootings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vallejo Police Lt. Sid De Jesus says there are a lot of theories about the increase in officer-involved shootings in 2012. He says violent crime was up substantially, and the department was down to 84 sworn officers from 158 when the recession began in 2008. That puts Vallejo’s officer-to-population ratio at about half the national average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It creates a huge safety concern for officers,” he says. “But more importantly, it (the low police presence) creates a huge safety concern for citizens of this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Jesus says quality of life in Vallejo has suffered, and officers who elected to stay with the struggling department in the struggling city are concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano District Attorney du Bain says his office’s review of the Moore shooting is close to completion. He says that sometimes the long investigations could strain public trust, but that the cases are taken very seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve insisted these reviews be conducted by a chief deputy district attorney, not a line attorney, and that they be approved by me,” he says. “Our reviews are thorough, and I’ve tried to ensure that we handle these cases very carefully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Jesus adds, \"I can certainly tell you that I would assume that all of the DA’s findings have all been completed, and now they’re just in the stage of putting their case together, along with ours, and ensuring that every aspect of the incident has been addressed. It’s not uncommon for cases such as this, especially a case such as this that is completely complex. A lot of people may say, 'What makes it so complex?' There’s a lot of moving parts to it. There’s a lot of extenuating issues that were involved in this. And for those that were involved with the case and read what was publicized in the paper. So it’s not uncommon for these cases to take a little bit longer to come to a conclusion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Civil Lawsuit\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eugene and Lisa Moore say they haven’t been able to find an attorney to take their case, so they’re representing themselves in a wrongful death lawsuit against Vallejo and its police department. They both think the strange circumstances leading up to the shooting are scaring attorneys from taking the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re learning as we’re going, and it’s going to be frustrating because what if we screw up and I can’t do anything about my son’s death?” Eugene Moore says. “That’s my biggest fear.
