1
00:00:10,902 --> 00:00:11,642
Good evening

2
00:00:14,456 --> 00:00:18,476
I'm Sergeant Rashad Hollis, the Vallejo
Police Department's Public Information

3
00:00:18,476 --> 00:00:21,166
Officer and Community Engagement Sergeant.

4
00:00:21,736 --> 00:00:25,306
Thank you all for attending
tonight's town hall meeting.

5
00:00:26,816 --> 00:00:31,475
Tonight's meeting is to discuss the
officer-involved shooting that occurred on

6
00:00:31,475 --> 00:00:41,415
Monday, July 20th, 2026 at approximately
1:15 PM on Mahogany Drive here in Vallejo.

7
00:00:42,135 --> 00:00:45,286
The purpose of this meeting is to
share the available facts regarding

8
00:00:45,465 --> 00:00:50,276
the incident and provide our community
with an opportunity to share their

9
00:00:50,276 --> 00:00:53,315
thoughts, questions, and concerns.

10
00:00:54,286 --> 00:00:57,295
I want to acknowledge the following
leaders in attendance today.

11
00:00:57,845 --> 00:01:02,835
Thank you for being here, Assistant
City Manager Nalungo, the Chief's

12
00:01:02,876 --> 00:01:06,425
Advisory Board, and Chaplain Mike Brown

13
00:01:09,550 --> 00:01:13,140
The Vallejo Police Department would
like to express its gratitude to the

14
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:17,960
Griffin Academy Middle & High School
for generously allowing us to use their

15
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:20,369
facility for this town hall meeting.

16
00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:25,660
This partnership allows us to hold
the meeting near the location of the

17
00:01:25,660 --> 00:01:30,829
incident, making it more accessible to
the community members and businesses

18
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:32,009
that may have been affected.

19
00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:37,809
Finally, I would like to thank everyone,
including our community, stakeholders,

20
00:01:37,919 --> 00:01:40,149
and the media for joining us today.

21
00:01:41,099 --> 00:01:44,389
Before we continue, everyone should
know that this meeting is being

22
00:01:44,390 --> 00:01:47,549
translated into American Sign Language.

23
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,240
A recording will be posted tomorrow on
the City of Vallejo's official website

24
00:01:53,460 --> 00:01:58,339
with closed captions available in multiple
languages, including Spanish and Tagalog.

25
00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:02,310
We will listen to the comments
and take questions from the

26
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:04,529
community after our presentation.

27
00:02:05,449 --> 00:02:09,369
Please keep in mind that this
incident remains an active

28
00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:11,369
and ongoing investigation.

29
00:02:12,519 --> 00:02:17,450
Tonight's meeting will conclude at
8:00 PM or after the final question

30
00:02:17,469 --> 00:02:20,099
or comment, whichever comes first.

31
00:02:20,899 --> 00:02:23,340
Thank you for participating
in this town hall meeting.

32
00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:28,109
I will now turn the meeting over
to Chief of Police, Jason Ta.

33
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,299
Thank you, Sergeant Hollis.

34
00:02:37,579 --> 00:02:43,100
I just wanna start, uh, by thanking
everyone here tonight, our community

35
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:48,659
members, families, members of the media,
for taking the time to attend this

36
00:02:48,679 --> 00:02:53,769
town hall meeting and for joining us
in this critical conversation regarding

37
00:02:54,089 --> 00:02:55,579
the recent officer-involved shooting.

38
00:02:57,209 --> 00:03:03,079
Our commitment this evening, as always,
is to continue earning your trust through

39
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,239
absolute openness and transparency.

40
00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:08,419
This is why we're here tonight.

41
00:03:09,229 --> 00:03:12,129
We wanna share what we
know at this point in time

42
00:03:16,311 --> 00:03:19,732
While strictly respecting the integrity,
as Sergeant Hollis mentioned, of

43
00:03:19,742 --> 00:03:24,232
the ongoing independent criminal
investigation being conducted by the

44
00:03:24,232 --> 00:03:29,772
Solano County Task Force, our goal
is to pre-present this information to

45
00:03:29,772 --> 00:03:34,492
you in a manner that is fair, that's
respectful, and completely clear.

46
00:03:35,402 --> 00:03:39,642
When our officers interact with members
of the public, the use of any type

47
00:03:39,642 --> 00:03:44,921
of force must always be reasonable,
measured, and legally justifiable.

48
00:03:45,712 --> 00:03:48,671
We understand that officers
frequently face difficult,

49
00:03:48,851 --> 00:03:51,271
rapidly evolving situations.

50
00:03:51,921 --> 00:03:56,432
However, their decisions must
remain lawful and consistent

51
00:03:56,471 --> 00:03:58,251
with our departmental policies.

52
00:03:59,431 --> 00:04:03,541
We also deeply recognize that any
use of force, especially deadly

53
00:04:03,541 --> 00:04:09,411
force, is profoundly traumatic for
every involved families, community

54
00:04:09,412 --> 00:04:10,781
members, and officers alike

55
00:04:14,446 --> 00:04:17,856
That is why we treat these events
with the utmost seriousness.

56
00:04:17,976 --> 00:04:23,956
Every use of force undergoes multiple
layers of review from field supervisors,

57
00:04:24,045 --> 00:04:29,226
command staff, and to our professional
standards division If an internal

58
00:04:29,226 --> 00:04:35,196
review indicates a need for change,
whether through training, disciplinary

59
00:04:35,196 --> 00:04:40,265
action, or updates to our policies,
those steps are decisively taken.

60
00:04:41,176 --> 00:04:46,945
Furthermore, a comprehensive report of
these incidents is compiled monthly and

61
00:04:46,946 --> 00:04:48,945
delivered to me as the Chief of Police.

62
00:04:51,544 --> 00:04:56,784
When this specific incident occurred,
our department mobilized immediately.

63
00:04:57,394 --> 00:05:01,343
I personally responded along with
both deputy chiefs, both captains,

64
00:05:02,394 --> 00:05:07,133
our public information officer, the
internal affairs commander, our entire

65
00:05:07,133 --> 00:05:11,333
detective division, our department
chaplains, and our professional staff.

66
00:05:12,554 --> 00:05:16,793
Part of my core responsibility in
these critical moments is to ensure

67
00:05:17,044 --> 00:05:22,153
that accurate information is quickly
shared responsibly with city leadership,

68
00:05:23,133 --> 00:05:26,674
with our regional partners, and most
importantly, with you, our community.

69
00:05:27,503 --> 00:05:31,454
To that end, the department issued
an initial media release on the

70
00:05:31,454 --> 00:05:35,923
night of the incident detailing the
basic facts, the sequence of events

71
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,680
and the status of those injured and
the type of weapon we recovered,

72
00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:43,010
which was an assault rifle.

73
00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:47,730
A subsequent update was issued shortly
thereafter to provide additional

74
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,740
transparent context, including the names,
experience levels, and current division

75
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:55,879
assignments of the involved officers.

76
00:05:57,219 --> 00:06:01,239
Just as importantly, we made it
an immediate priority to establish

77
00:06:01,299 --> 00:06:05,599
a supportive connection with the
family of the individual involved.

78
00:06:06,209 --> 00:06:11,470
Chaplain Brown and Chaplain Pace stepped
forward to serve as our dedicated

79
00:06:11,470 --> 00:06:17,359
family liaisons, offering immediate
support services and ensuring the family

80
00:06:20,395 --> 00:06:23,796
Was offered ex-extended
personal in-- I'm sorry.

81
00:06:23,876 --> 00:06:29,806
Was offered immediate support resources
and ensuring the family was extended

82
00:06:29,825 --> 00:06:33,986
a personal invitation to meet directly
with me within seventy-two hours.

83
00:06:35,385 --> 00:06:38,695
Several days later, I had the
opportunity to meet with the

84
00:06:38,705 --> 00:06:43,635
immediate family, and I met with
them once more prior to this event.

85
00:06:44,705 --> 00:06:45,796
It's very warm in here.

86
00:06:45,796 --> 00:06:46,796
Excuse me.

87
00:06:49,931 --> 00:06:54,241
When I met with them individually, we
previewed the exact same video footage

88
00:06:54,272 --> 00:06:55,692
we're gonna be seeing here tonight.

89
00:06:56,622 --> 00:06:59,402
Tonight, we continue our
promise of transparency.

90
00:06:59,921 --> 00:07:04,042
We will first hear the initial
911 audio dispatch from the

91
00:07:04,042 --> 00:07:05,652
armed robbery and carjacking.

92
00:07:06,941 --> 00:07:11,162
You will see relevant video footage
captured both from the body-worn camera

93
00:07:11,332 --> 00:07:15,581
and the car camera, and then we will
look at specific still frames from

94
00:07:15,582 --> 00:07:20,391
those videos alongside photographic
evidence taken from the scene.

95
00:07:21,652 --> 00:07:25,782
I'll now turn it over to Administrative
Bureau Captain Jeremy Huff.

96
00:07:38,594 --> 00:07:39,214
Good evening.

97
00:07:39,794 --> 00:07:42,244
I'm Captain Jeremy Huff, and
I oversee the Vallejo Police

98
00:07:42,244 --> 00:07:43,674
Department's Administrative Bureau.

99
00:07:44,644 --> 00:07:48,234
I wanna provide some background on
tonight's meeting and the context of

100
00:07:48,234 --> 00:07:50,284
our current position as a department.

101
00:07:51,234 --> 00:07:54,764
This is the first fatal officer-involved
shooting that our department

102
00:07:54,804 --> 00:07:56,593
has experienced in six years.

103
00:07:57,314 --> 00:08:00,403
Over the last six years, the Vallejo
Police Department has undergone

104
00:08:00,404 --> 00:08:05,793
significant changes and improvements
in our training, policies, community

105
00:08:05,793 --> 00:08:09,883
engagement, and operational and
administrative review systems.

106
00:08:10,484 --> 00:08:16,734
We have prioritized premier training
in areas such as crisis intervention

107
00:08:16,734 --> 00:08:21,603
methods; implicit bias, principled
policing, cultural diversity, and

108
00:08:21,603 --> 00:08:27,544
procedural justice; use of force,
including less lethal options, arrest

109
00:08:27,544 --> 00:08:31,384
and control techniques, firearms,
and our state-of-the-art virtual

110
00:08:31,384 --> 00:08:37,323
force simulator; de-escalation
tactics, and scenario-based training.

111
00:08:38,083 --> 00:08:41,284
The officers involved in this
incident have received the training

112
00:08:41,304 --> 00:08:42,373
that I just described to you.

113
00:08:43,364 --> 00:08:46,663
Beyond training, we've enhanced our
practices around accountability,

114
00:08:47,423 --> 00:08:49,773
transparency, and internal reviews.

115
00:08:50,233 --> 00:08:54,003
One important change is our
renewed commitment to the community

116
00:08:54,063 --> 00:08:59,263
communication and outreach following
officer-involved critical incidents.

117
00:09:00,563 --> 00:09:05,244
To foster trust and build partnerships,
we hold town hall meetings like

118
00:09:05,244 --> 00:09:09,393
this one soon after an incident
at a facility near the scene.

119
00:09:10,563 --> 00:09:14,074
Tonight, our intent is to provide
the highest level of transparency

120
00:09:14,074 --> 00:09:18,404
possible while remaining mindful of
the ongoing criminal investigation.

121
00:09:19,504 --> 00:09:24,064
We will be sharing relevant video
evidence and factual information available

122
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,123
at this stage of the investigation.

123
00:09:27,283 --> 00:09:33,093
We've also strengthened our family support
services practices as a Vallejo Police

124
00:09:33,093 --> 00:09:38,684
Department chaplain now serves as the
family liaison, facilitating communication

125
00:09:39,023 --> 00:09:42,894
between the chief of police and the
involved family soon after the incident.

126
00:09:43,713 --> 00:09:47,563
That process has been followed in this
case, and we have been in contact with the

127
00:09:47,563 --> 00:09:49,933
family members affected by this incident.

128
00:09:51,003 --> 00:09:54,883
Two important processes have
also been put into place due

129
00:09:54,883 --> 00:09:56,373
to our police reform efforts.

130
00:09:57,833 --> 00:09:59,663
We have a revised county protocol.

131
00:10:00,163 --> 00:10:04,773
The Solano County officer-involved
fatal incident protocol now assigns

132
00:10:04,863 --> 00:10:09,883
the criminal investigation to the
Solano County Major Crimes Task Force.

133
00:10:10,533 --> 00:10:15,024
Under this protocol, the district
attorney is tasked with conducting an

134
00:10:15,024 --> 00:10:18,283
objective and independent investigation.

135
00:10:18,824 --> 00:10:21,843
The Vallejo Police Department
investigators are not involved

136
00:10:21,853 --> 00:10:23,433
in the criminal investigation

137
00:10:25,902 --> 00:10:30,982
The Critical Incident Review Board,
or CIRB we have overhauled our

138
00:10:31,002 --> 00:10:35,832
internal review system, and the CIRB
now evaluates each critical incident

139
00:10:36,012 --> 00:10:42,051
with the goal of agency improvement,
reviewing, planning, and decision-making,

140
00:10:42,132 --> 00:10:47,001
supervision, de-escalation and
tactics, training and equipment,

141
00:10:47,582 --> 00:10:50,632
policy issues, and post-event response.

142
00:10:52,041 --> 00:10:56,672
When an officer-involved shooting incident
occurs, several parallel investigations

143
00:10:56,751 --> 00:11:03,502
are initiated, which include the Solano
County Major Crimes Task Force , who

144
00:11:03,502 --> 00:11:07,712
is currently conducting the criminal
investigation under the supervision

145
00:11:07,731 --> 00:11:08,951
of the district attorney's office.

146
00:11:10,231 --> 00:11:14,942
The administrative or internal affairs
investigation determines if policies

147
00:11:15,062 --> 00:11:16,902
and procedures were adhered to.

148
00:11:17,481 --> 00:11:21,481
The City of Vallejo has retained an
independent investigator from the

149
00:11:21,481 --> 00:11:26,642
Renee Public Law Group to conduct
an internal, uh, independent review.

150
00:11:28,382 --> 00:11:32,181
Vallejo Police Department internal
affairs investigators are not involved

151
00:11:32,211 --> 00:11:34,271
with the administrative investigation.

152
00:11:35,732 --> 00:11:40,102
The Critical Incident Review Board was
convened with a diverse membership,

153
00:11:40,192 --> 00:11:44,481
including department leadership,
training staff, professional standards

154
00:11:44,482 --> 00:11:49,061
supervisors, community representation,
and subject matter experts.

155
00:11:49,521 --> 00:11:52,552
Phase one of the initial
CIRB has already occurred.

156
00:11:54,071 --> 00:11:57,551
As the Vallejo Police Department's
policies and procedures continue to

157
00:11:57,552 --> 00:12:01,742
evolve, I want to emphasize our commitment
to partnership with the community.

158
00:12:02,321 --> 00:12:06,471
We cannot do our jobs effectively
without your confidence and support.

159
00:12:07,582 --> 00:12:10,741
At this time, I will turn the presentation
over to Deputy Chief Knight, who will

160
00:12:10,781 --> 00:12:12,222
provide a summary of the incident

161
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:32,730
Good evening.

162
00:12:34,370 --> 00:12:37,330
My name is Bob Knight, and I
am the Deputy Chief of Police.

163
00:12:38,850 --> 00:12:42,510
I will be providing a general
overview and timeline of events

164
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,180
as we know them at this time.

165
00:12:45,130 --> 00:12:49,880
This case is still in its early stages
and is being conducted by another criminal

166
00:12:49,889 --> 00:12:52,180
investigative agency, as just mentioned.

167
00:12:53,329 --> 00:12:57,889
Therefore, we are only able to
share details that are confirmed and

168
00:12:57,889 --> 00:12:59,699
suitable for release at this time.

169
00:13:00,829 --> 00:13:05,089
However, this town hall represents
our department's commitment to maximum

170
00:13:05,090 --> 00:13:09,539
transparency surrounding critical events
such as an officer-involved shooting.

171
00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:14,640
Our department's role during the
initial response was to conduct a

172
00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:21,700
preliminary investigation, secure the
scene, identify witnesses, and preserve

173
00:13:21,729 --> 00:13:26,229
immediate evidence to establish a
found-foundation for the extensive and

174
00:13:26,229 --> 00:13:30,809
thorough investigation now being led by
the Solano County District Attorney's

175
00:13:30,989 --> 00:13:33,170
Major Crime Task Force investigators.

176
00:13:34,909 --> 00:13:38,279
While the video footage we are sharing
tonight is a critical component

177
00:13:38,299 --> 00:13:43,129
of this review, it's important to
recognize that body-worn and in-car

178
00:13:43,129 --> 00:13:47,329
cameras do not always offer a complete
depiction of a critical incident.

179
00:13:48,409 --> 00:13:52,809
The district attorney investigators will
utilize officer statements, civilian

180
00:13:52,809 --> 00:13:57,780
witness testimonies, alternative video
angles, if available, and forensic

181
00:13:57,780 --> 00:14:02,509
analysis to reconstruct a comprehensive
understanding of the events leading

182
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:04,219
up to and during this encounter.

183
00:14:05,449 --> 00:14:09,719
To ensure absolute objectivity,
all involved officer statements

184
00:14:09,729 --> 00:14:13,679
were conduct- were conducted by the
district attorney's Major Crimes

185
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:15,750
Task Force, not our department.

186
00:14:17,049 --> 00:14:20,579
The event des- the events described
here tonight represent the facts

187
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:24,209
as we currently know them based on
the in-information available to us.

188
00:14:26,009 --> 00:14:29,499
A final and comprehensive report
and formal legal determination

189
00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:33,780
regarding the just-justification of
lethal, lethal force will be assessed

190
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,410
and rendered independently by the
district attorney at a future date

191
00:14:39,180 --> 00:14:43,190
once their investigation and official
documentations are fully finalized

192
00:14:47,566 --> 00:14:50,066
First, I will identify the
officers who discharged their

193
00:14:50,066 --> 00:14:51,426
firearms during this incident.

194
00:14:52,596 --> 00:14:58,936
The involved officers were Officer
Himanshu Saini, badge five six zero,

195
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:03,185
who is a four-year member of the
department, and Sergeant Matthew

196
00:15:03,205 --> 00:15:07,655
Komoda, badge six six five, who is a
twelve-year member of the department.

197
00:15:09,666 --> 00:15:13,916
On Monday, May twentieth, twenty
twenty-six, at approximately twelve

198
00:15:13,916 --> 00:15:17,746
nineteen PM, the Vallejo Police
Department responded to the four hundred

199
00:15:17,746 --> 00:15:21,685
block of Ryder Street for an armed
carjacking that had just occurred.

200
00:15:22,785 --> 00:15:27,355
The victim reported being robbed of
personal belongings and his vehicle by

201
00:15:27,356 --> 00:15:29,276
a suspect armed with an assault rifle.

202
00:15:30,755 --> 00:15:35,575
The victim's vehicle was a twenty eleven
Honda Accord, and the suspect fled the

203
00:15:35,575 --> 00:15:39,625
scene in the vehicle and was last seen
traveling northbound on Sonoma Boulevard.

204
00:15:41,255 --> 00:15:44,955
The victim's vehicle was entered
into the stolen vehicle system, and

205
00:15:44,955 --> 00:15:49,065
the vehicle information was placed
into Vallejo PD's Flock automated

206
00:15:49,066 --> 00:15:50,365
license plate reader software.

207
00:15:52,846 --> 00:15:56,836
Approximately fifty-six minutes later,
officers were alerted by the Flock

208
00:15:56,856 --> 00:16:00,736
Automated License Plate Reader System
that the victim's carjacked vehicle

209
00:16:00,736 --> 00:16:02,176
was traveling in North Vallejo.

210
00:16:03,876 --> 00:16:08,836
At approximately one:fifteen PM, Officer
Sani was traveling on Broadway Street

211
00:16:08,846 --> 00:16:12,966
near Mahogany Drive when he observed
the vehicle traveling on Broadway

212
00:16:12,966 --> 00:16:14,956
Street with two occupants inside.

213
00:16:16,385 --> 00:16:19,845
Officer Sani radioed for backup
and followed the Honda as it

214
00:16:19,846 --> 00:16:22,525
turned onto Mahogany Drive,
which is a dead-end street.

215
00:16:24,686 --> 00:16:28,246
The driver of the vehicle stopped in
the roadway as he neared the dead end.

216
00:16:29,236 --> 00:16:33,086
Officer Sanny activated his
overhead emergency lights and

217
00:16:33,086 --> 00:16:34,756
began to exit his patrol car.

218
00:16:36,416 --> 00:16:38,745
The video will show a
bystander was standing…

219
00:16:39,325 --> 00:16:39,866
Excuse me.

220
00:16:40,306 --> 00:16:44,796
The video will show a bystander was
walking towards the Honda, looked inside,

221
00:16:45,305 --> 00:16:46,825
and immediately started to run away.

222
00:16:48,356 --> 00:16:51,875
Officer Sanny started to give verbal
commands to the vehicle's occupants,

223
00:16:52,645 --> 00:16:56,185
at which time the driver produced a
high-powered rifle from the vehicle.

224
00:16:57,526 --> 00:17:00,945
Officer Sanny dove into
his patrol vehicle, and an

225
00:17:00,956 --> 00:17:02,475
officer-involved shooting occurred.

226
00:17:04,325 --> 00:17:07,345
Sergeant Kamoda arrived on
scene as a backup officer while

227
00:17:07,346 --> 00:17:08,976
shots were actively being fired.

228
00:17:10,145 --> 00:17:15,476
Sergeant Kamoda exited his police vehicle
and positioned himself on the passenger

229
00:17:15,476 --> 00:17:20,016
side of Officer Sanny's vehicle while
the driver was shooting his rifle at

230
00:17:20,026 --> 00:17:22,135
Officer Sanny and his patrol vehicle.

231
00:17:23,165 --> 00:17:27,215
Sergeant Kamoda discharged his firearm
at the driver and requested emergency

232
00:17:27,215 --> 00:17:28,666
assistance on the police radio.

233
00:17:30,696 --> 00:17:34,805
After a brief pause in gunfire,
the vehicle abruptly drove forward,

234
00:17:35,446 --> 00:17:39,185
colliding with an unoccupied vehicle
and a fence, and came to rest.

235
00:17:40,395 --> 00:17:44,035
At this time, Officer Sanny
exited his police vehicle and

236
00:17:44,035 --> 00:17:46,095
sought cover behind a nearby car.

237
00:17:48,245 --> 00:17:52,275
After the suspect vehicle came to
rest, both Officer Sanny and Sergeant

238
00:17:52,275 --> 00:17:55,995
Komoda again engaged with the
armed suspect and discharged their

239
00:17:55,995 --> 00:18:00,646
firearms, firearms at the driver
multiple times, fatally wounding him.

240
00:18:02,305 --> 00:18:05,285
Multiple officers arrived on
scene, and the passenger of the

241
00:18:05,285 --> 00:18:09,065
vehicle surrendered to officers
and was safely taken into custody.

242
00:18:10,946 --> 00:18:14,055
The passenger of the vehicle
is… His identity is not being,

243
00:18:14,136 --> 00:18:15,666
uh, disclosed at this time.

244
00:18:17,575 --> 00:18:21,125
Officers were not able to immediately
render aid to the driver as the scene

245
00:18:21,125 --> 00:18:26,655
was unsecured and the Honda was wedged
between an unoccupied car and a fence,

246
00:18:27,025 --> 00:18:28,956
significantly limiting access to him.

247
00:18:30,085 --> 00:18:34,346
After several minutes, the suspect was
removed from the vehicle and officers

248
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:37,446
began first aid until EMS arrived.

249
00:18:38,195 --> 00:18:41,315
However, paramedics pronounced
him deceased at the scene.

250
00:18:44,302 --> 00:18:48,072
The driver is identified as
forty-four-year-old Vallejo

251
00:18:48,072 --> 00:18:50,722
resident Romel Corral.

252
00:18:52,611 --> 00:18:57,212
The firearm used by Corral was a
two-two-three caliber AR fifteen-style

253
00:18:57,212 --> 00:19:00,081
rifle with a high capacity magazine.

254
00:19:01,011 --> 00:19:03,621
It was located at the scene
and booked into evidence.

255
00:19:05,552 --> 00:19:09,502
Romel Corral has an extensive
criminal history with prior prison

256
00:19:09,502 --> 00:19:14,141
time and was currently on CDCR
parole at the time of this incident.

257
00:19:15,312 --> 00:19:20,312
He's been convicted of the following
crimes: two separate felony convictions

258
00:19:20,322 --> 00:19:25,692
for burglary, two separate felony
convictions for possession of a controlled

259
00:19:25,692 --> 00:19:31,941
substance, one felony conviction for
vandalism, one misdemeanor conviction

260
00:19:31,941 --> 00:19:37,002
for illegal possession of a firearm,
three felony convictions for felon

261
00:19:37,002 --> 00:19:41,431
in possession of a firearm, most
recently a case being in May of twenty

262
00:19:41,431 --> 00:19:44,301
twenty-six this year, uh, by Vallejo PD.

263
00:19:46,311 --> 00:19:50,091
In twenty eleven, Corral was arrested
and charged with murder for a case

264
00:19:50,092 --> 00:19:51,391
that occurred in the city of Vallejo.

265
00:19:52,062 --> 00:19:54,792
He was later convicted of voluntary
manslaughter with the use of a

266
00:19:54,792 --> 00:19:56,122
firearm and sentenced to prison

267
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:02,620
This incident demonstrates the rapidly
evolving nature of police encounters.

268
00:20:03,810 --> 00:20:07,160
Officers are often asked to make
split-second decisions while performing

269
00:20:07,169 --> 00:20:11,290
multiple tasks and potentially
responding to an immediate threat

270
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,669
to protect themselves and the public

271
00:20:16,398 --> 00:20:19,328
Before we play the footage
of this incident, we want to

272
00:20:19,328 --> 00:20:20,707
provide a content warning.

273
00:20:22,068 --> 00:20:25,747
The videos you are about to see
contain graphic and violent images,

274
00:20:26,658 --> 00:20:31,058
including gunfire and scenes that may
be distur-disturbing for some viewers.

275
00:20:32,937 --> 00:20:36,098
We recognize that everyone processes
traumatic events differently.

276
00:20:36,867 --> 00:20:41,017
If you would prefer not to view this
segment of the presentation, we will pause

277
00:20:41,027 --> 00:20:42,837
briefly to allow you to exit the room.

278
00:20:44,568 --> 00:20:48,157
After the videos have concluded,
we will provide time for those who

279
00:20:48,158 --> 00:20:51,788
may have stepped out to return to
their seats before we continue with

280
00:20:51,788 --> 00:20:53,367
the remainder of the presentation

281
00:20:56,053 --> 00:20:59,674
We appreciate your understanding and
respect everyone's personal decision

282
00:21:00,093 --> 00:21:01,444
regarding whether to view the footage

283
00:21:05,198 --> 00:21:07,998
So this will be your time if you'd like to
step out and don't wanna view the footage,

284
00:21:08,238 --> 00:21:09,778
um, now would be the time to do so

285
00:21:37,857 --> 00:21:43,260
Okay, veldig godt You're about to
watch and listen to a series of

286
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:46,600
audio and video files depicting
the events that I just described.

287
00:21:47,210 --> 00:21:52,160
These include a 911 call, as well
as videos from police car cameras

288
00:21:52,430 --> 00:21:54,080
and officer body-worn cameras.

289
00:21:54,789 --> 00:21:57,840
The sharing of this information
is not intended to provide any

290
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,929
evidence that a conclusion has
been reached in this investigation.

291
00:22:01,970 --> 00:22:06,399
Please note, body-worn camera and in-car
cameras are generally affixed in a

292
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,750
direction that captures the camera's
line of sight, but not at an angle

293
00:22:11,759 --> 00:22:15,799
or view that depicts what an officer
actually observed or experienced.

294
00:22:17,059 --> 00:22:20,470
Vallejo Police Department Axon
cameras are all equipped with a buffer

295
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:25,080
feature that shows video footage
up to thirty seconds before the

296
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,039
camera is activated, with no audio.

297
00:22:29,309 --> 00:22:33,280
Action-- Axon dash cameras are
automatically activated when the police

298
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,409
car's emergency lights are activated.

299
00:22:36,759 --> 00:22:40,319
The body-worn camera can be activated
manually by depressing the button on the

300
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,969
camera or automatically when the police
vehicle's dash camera is activated.

301
00:22:46,649 --> 00:22:50,399
All audio and video files have been
redacted pursuant to Penal Code

302
00:22:50,429 --> 00:22:53,010
eight thirty-two point seven B six.

303

Also, pursuant to California Assembly
Bill seven forty-eight, the raw videos

304
00:22:58,889 --> 00:23:02,959

on our website tomorrow, along with a

305
00:23:02,959 --> 00:23:04,430
recording of this town hall meeting.

306
00:23:06,369 --> 00:23:09,250
You may notice brief periods of
silence throughout the video.

307
00:23:10,009 --> 00:23:12,629
Portions of the audio have been
redacted in accordance with the

308
00:23:12,639 --> 00:23:16,369
applicable l-legal and privacy
requirements that I just described.

309
00:23:17,189 --> 00:23:20,959
These redactions do not affect the
continuity or sequence of events depicted.

310
00:23:22,469 --> 00:23:24,389
We will now begin the video presentation

311
00:23:53,528 --> 00:23:55,378
911, what's the outer city emergency?

312
00:23:57,622 --> 00:23:58,492
Okay, how can I help you?

313
00:23:58,982 --> 00:24:00,072
I just got robbed in the park.

314
00:24:01,302 --> 00:24:02,472
Okay, what exactly happened?

315
00:24:02,922 --> 00:24:05,722
Uh, this guy just came and he
pulled an assault rifle on me,

316
00:24:05,722 --> 00:24:08,782
and he said, "Empty out everything
in your pocket," and… Okay.

317
00:24:08,852 --> 00:24:09,811
What's the company name?

318
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,440
And was he Black, white,
Hispanic, or Asian?

319
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,810
Uh, he looked like
Black, but kind of mixed.

320
00:24:15,850 --> 00:24:16,850
He was a shorter dude.

321
00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:18,270
Like light-skinned Black male?

322
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:19,030
Yeah.

323
00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:19,810
Okay.

324
00:24:19,810 --> 00:24:21,350
W- About how old did he look?

325
00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:23,899
Probably late 30s.

326
00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:26,090
Okay.

327
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:27,149
Do you remember what he was wearing?

328
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:28,489
What, what color shirt, what color pants?

329
00:24:28,499 --> 00:24:30,200
Uh, he had like some blue shorts I think.

330
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,680
I don't really remember the shirt, man.

331
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,069
He had like a blue bag with him.

332
00:24:33,069 --> 00:24:35,829
He just sped off with my
car, my wallet, everything.

333
00:24:40,106 --> 00:24:40,316
Oh, okay.

334
00:24:41,376 --> 00:24:42,606
How long ago was this?

335
00:24:42,696 --> 00:24:44,346
Literally 30 seconds.

336
00:24:44,396 --> 00:24:44,916
Oh, okay.

337
00:24:44,966 --> 00:24:46,186
Do you know which way he drove off?

338
00:24:46,756 --> 00:24:50,386
Uh, he went left down Sonoma going
towards, like, the animal shelter.

339
00:24:51,876 --> 00:24:52,376
Okay.

340
00:24:53,416 --> 00:24:54,235
What kind of vehicle?

341
00:24:54,736 --> 00:24:58,416
It was a gray Honda Accord,
2011, kind of beat up

342
00:25:03,566 --> 00:25:05,256
Does it have body damage or just older?

343
00:25:05,686 --> 00:25:06,696
It does have body damage.

344
00:25:06,766 --> 00:25:06,796
Okay.

345
00:25:06,866 --> 00:25:08,466
On the right side, it's kinda warped.

346
00:25:09,106 --> 00:25:10,396
Do you know your plate number?

347
00:25:10,946 --> 00:25:11,796
Um, I think

348
00:25:17,676 --> 00:25:17,976
Okay.

349
00:25:17,985 --> 00:25:19,676
And are you injured at all?

350
00:25:20,146 --> 00:25:20,546
No.

351
00:25:20,836 --> 00:25:21,056
All right.

352
00:25:21,056 --> 00:25:22,386
Let me get him stranded to you, okay?

353
00:25:22,686 --> 00:25:22,716
Okay.

354
00:25:23,346 --> 00:25:23,726
Hold on.

355
00:25:42,030 --> 00:25:43,740
Yeah, he asked me for a lighter at first.

356
00:25:43,740 --> 00:25:45,420
I said, "I don't got it," and
then he just kept walking.

357
00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:47,879
Then all of a sudden he came back, tapped
on the glass, and he pulled out a huge

358
00:25:47,930 --> 00:25:52,090
gun out of his bag, like an assault rifle,
and he's like, "Get the fuck out of the

359
00:25:52,090 --> 00:25:55,040
car right now. Leave everything in your
car, everything out of your pocket."

360
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,360
And I was just like, I just fucking,
I took, threw all the shit and left.

361
00:26:00,229 --> 00:26:00,449
Okay.

362
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:02,359
So I've got everybody on
the way there right now.

363
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,219
Is there anything else
about him you can remember?

364
00:26:05,629 --> 00:26:06,419
I'm sorry, what'd you say?

365
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:09,220
Uh, they're all driving to you right
now, and they're, some of them are

366
00:26:09,220 --> 00:26:10,760
gonna go search the area for your car.

367
00:26:11,110 --> 00:26:13,080
Is there anything else
about him you remember?

368
00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:16,029
Um, do you guys have, like, the
camera footage of him walking

369
00:26:16,030 --> 00:26:20,000
by, or… I think he had, like-
Okay … almost braided hair kind of.

370
00:26:20,010 --> 00:26:22,029
But- Maybe like, like- He had a,
he had a little bag … dreads

371
00:26:22,030 --> 00:26:23,639
or just the little knots on top?

372
00:26:25,159 --> 00:26:27,553
Was it, like, dreads or the,
like, little knots on top?

373
00:26:27,553 --> 00:26:30,349
They were, like, two kinda big
dreads on the back of his head, I

374
00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:33,569
think, or… Honestly, I ba- I, I
barely even really looked at him.

375
00:26:33,569 --> 00:26:33,599
Okay.

376
00:26:33,739 --> 00:26:34,809
I just think he was a shorter dude.

377
00:26:34,809 --> 00:26:35,710
We got him on camera.

378
00:26:36,129 --> 00:26:36,539
Okay.

379
00:26:36,539 --> 00:26:37,639
And where are you at?

380
00:26:38,079 --> 00:26:39,640
Oh, I'm inside the office right now.

381
00:26:39,669 --> 00:26:39,999
Okay.

382
00:26:40,030 --> 00:26:40,929
And what is your name?

383
00:26:42,329 --> 00:26:42,589
Okay.

384
00:26:42,609 --> 00:26:44,480
That was a good plate
for your vehicle, too.

385
00:26:44,809 --> 00:26:45,079
Okay.

386
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:46,510
They're all driving to you right now.

387
00:26:46,510 --> 00:26:48,020
If you can just keep an
eye out for him, okay?

388
00:26:48,170 --> 00:26:48,200
Sure.

389
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:48,330
Thanks.

390
00:26:48,620 --> 00:26:49,230
Um, you're welcome.

391
00:26:49,230 --> 00:26:49,240
Bye.

392
00:27:43,052 --> 00:27:43,621
Hey, watch your fucking-

393
00:27:53,815 --> 00:27:54,416
Shots fired.

00:28:04,284 --> 00:28:05,214
I copy shots fired.

395
00:28:05,214 --> 00:28:05,614
We're staging medical

396
00:28:18,277 --> 00:28:18,558
Copy

397
00:28:27,428 --> 00:28:28,288

00:28:31,985 --> 00:28:33,205

00:28:44,568 --> 00:28:46,008
Grab the shield from Sam T's car

402
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:34,310

00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:43,150
Show fire, show fire

405
00:30:29,262 --> 00:30:29,341
I do have a shield in my car.

406
00:30:29,341 --> 00:30:29,371
Hey, stop moving.

407
00:30:29,371 --> 00:30:29,422
I'm coming to your side

413
00:31:34,194 --> 00:31:34,293
Send to the route.

414
00:31:34,293 --> 00:31:34,323
There we go.

415
00:31:34,323 --> 00:31:34,403
So I'm occupied by two
accident at Oakwood.

416
00:31:34,403 --> 00:31:34,433
We're completely stopped.

417
00:31:34,433 --> 00:31:35,383
It looks like it's a HMA, so we are
currently blocking other vehicles.

418
00:32:17,966 --> 00:32:18,495
Do you want with him?

419
00:32:36,976 --> 00:32:37,616
Shots fired

420
00:32:49,536 --> 00:32:50,026
Shots fired

421
00:33:14,528 --> 00:33:15,268
Visual units here

422
00:33:18,264 --> 00:33:19,664
Next unit needs to grab the shield

423
00:33:25,870 --> 00:33:27,270
Sam two, I have a shield in my car.

424
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:29,410
I need the next unit to grab that shield.

425
00:33:30,450 --> 00:33:31,370
I'm coming to your side

426
00:33:35,670 --> 00:33:36,190
Are you okay?

427
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:37,080
Yeah, I'm good.

428
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,100
I'm good

429
00:33:45,134 --> 00:33:45,594

00:33:46,414 --> 00:33:46,474
No, I'm good, I'm good

431
00:34:19,277 --> 00:34:19,977

00:34:21,247 --> 00:34:22,477
He is in credit overnight.

433
00:34:25,678 --> 00:34:26,227
Keep doing route.

434
00:34:33,727 --> 00:34:34,497
Talk to my boat too.

435
00:34:34,497 --> 00:34:36,908
I haven't lit it up, but for a couple
of stops, and we'll take it to H Bay.

436
00:34:38,337 --> 00:34:39,967
So we are currently hawking other vehicles

437
00:35:58,354 --> 00:35:59,284
I copy shots fired.

438
00:35:59,284 --> 00:35:59,654
We're staging medical

439
00:36:33,646 --> 00:36:34,206
My car.

440
00:36:34,836 --> 00:36:40,166
I need an next unit at Grab n Shield Next
unit, Grab n Shield for Sam Key's car

441
00:37:44,281 --> 00:37:44,631
Leave the lights off?

442
00:37:45,031 --> 00:37:45,422
Leave them on?

443
00:37:47,721 --> 00:37:50,272
Can you guys see these photographs okay,
or should we turn the lights back off?

444
00:37:51,352 --> 00:37:52,341
Just leave them off for now.

445
00:37:54,281 --> 00:37:57,131
The video showed how the
incident unfolded in real time.

446
00:37:57,741 --> 00:38:02,911
We will now review several photographs
taken during and after the incident to

447
00:38:02,912 --> 00:38:07,011
highlight important details and provide
additional context that may not have

448
00:38:07,011 --> 00:38:09,111
been readily visible during the videos.

449
00:38:11,011 --> 00:38:12,801
This is an aerial image of the scene.

450
00:38:14,422 --> 00:38:17,411
Although it was not taken during
the incident, it provides an

451
00:38:17,422 --> 00:38:21,061
overview of the location and helps
illustrate where the events occurred

452
00:38:23,470 --> 00:38:28,520
This is, uh, depicting Officer Sanni's
vehicle, Sergeant Comoda's vehicle, the

453
00:38:28,580 --> 00:38:35,549
carjacked Honda Accord, and these yellow,
um, arrows are photographs of vehicles

454
00:38:35,549 --> 00:38:40,709
that you will see with, um, bullet hole
damage in the-- in some future photographs

455
00:38:43,374 --> 00:38:47,834
This is a close-up photograph
of the firearm Rommel Carol

456
00:38:47,874 --> 00:38:49,044
used during the shooting.

457
00:38:49,734 --> 00:38:53,053
The firearm is considered a ghost
gun under California law because it

458
00:38:53,053 --> 00:38:57,394
does not bear a valid serial number,
making it more difficult to trace.

459
00:38:58,334 --> 00:39:01,613
Carol's rifle was equipped with a
high capacity magazine that still

460
00:39:01,613 --> 00:39:03,113
contained twenty-one live rounds

461
00:39:12,846 --> 00:39:16,826
In this slide, if you look at the
above the driver's side front door,

462
00:39:17,366 --> 00:39:19,626
you can see a bright flash of light.

463
00:39:20,166 --> 00:39:24,336
This is known as a muzzle flash,
which is the visible flash sometimes

464
00:39:24,336 --> 00:39:26,376
produced when a firearm is discharged.

465
00:39:27,166 --> 00:39:30,855
This image captured one of
the moments Carol fired his

466
00:39:30,856 --> 00:39:32,286
rifle towards Officer Sanni

467
00:39:36,430 --> 00:39:40,529
This is a magnified still
image showing Correll fire the

468
00:39:40,529 --> 00:39:42,020
rifle towards Officer Sanny.

469
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,390
It is just a magnified photo
of the, the previous slide

470
00:39:57,646 --> 00:40:00,336
This photograph was taken
several hours after the shooting

471
00:40:00,346 --> 00:40:01,626
during hours of darkness.

472
00:40:02,376 --> 00:40:05,996
It shows the final rest-resting
position of the stolen Honda

473
00:40:05,996 --> 00:40:09,606
Accord after it collided with
a fence and an unoccupied SUV

474
00:40:15,658 --> 00:40:17,968
Here's the unoccupied
vehicle, here's the fence

475
00:40:24,398 --> 00:40:29,868
This photograph shows bullet strikes
to the driver's… Oh, sorry.

476
00:40:30,168 --> 00:40:30,618
Go back.

477
00:40:30,698 --> 00:40:32,068
This is, uh, the next slide here.

478
00:40:32,488 --> 00:40:36,548
This photograph shows Officer Sandy's
patrol vehicle with its emergency lights

479
00:40:36,558 --> 00:40:38,667
still activated following the shooting.

480
00:40:39,318 --> 00:40:43,358
You, you can also see the green evidence
placards which identify the location of

481
00:40:43,367 --> 00:40:45,318
Officer Sandy's spent cartridge casings

482
00:40:59,726 --> 00:41:03,236
This photograph shows a bullet
strike to the driver's side window

483
00:41:03,236 --> 00:41:05,046
of Officer Sanni's patrol vehicle

484
00:41:15,086 --> 00:41:18,616
This is a close-up image of that same
bullet strike to the driver's side window

485
00:41:26,510 --> 00:41:30,920
This is another view of the front of
Officer Sandy's patrol vehicle with

486
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,810
the emergency lights still activated.

487
00:41:39,406 --> 00:41:42,946
This close-up photograph shows
both outbound and inbound

488
00:41:45,806 --> 00:41:48,326
Bullet strikes to Officer
Sanny's patrol vehicle.

489
00:41:49,396 --> 00:41:53,956
This picture shows damage caused
by rounds fired by Officer Sanny

490
00:41:54,036 --> 00:41:56,506
as well as rounds fired by Carroll

491
00:42:00,526 --> 00:42:01,086
Back one here

492
00:42:06,638 --> 00:42:12,218
There's a bullet strike here that may not
be harder to see and bullet strike here

493
00:42:23,246 --> 00:42:27,106
This photograph shows a bullet strike to
the roof of Officer Sanny's patrol vehicle

494
00:42:29,422 --> 00:42:33,642
The impact is visible on the driver's
side beneath the white paint of the roof

495
00:42:40,558 --> 00:42:43,868
This image shows the locations
of recovered cartridge casings.

496
00:42:44,638 --> 00:42:48,358
The green evidence placards identify
Officer Sanny's spent casings,

497
00:42:48,798 --> 00:42:52,917
while the yellow evidence placards
identify Corroll's spent casings

498
00:42:59,022 --> 00:43:02,912
This image shows a zoomed-in
photograph of the placard, the placards

499
00:43:03,022 --> 00:43:05,152
identifying Carroll's spent casings

500
00:43:12,366 --> 00:43:16,426
This slide shows multiple civilian
vehicles that were struck by rounds

501
00:43:16,426 --> 00:43:18,536
fired by Carol during the shooting

502
00:43:20,782 --> 00:43:22,982
And then there'll be a series of
photographs here in a moment that

503
00:43:22,982 --> 00:43:24,572
will show those in more detail.

504
00:43:25,332 --> 00:43:28,482
This is a close-up photograph of
a Lexus that was parked behind

505
00:43:28,542 --> 00:43:30,222
Officer Sanny during the incident.

506
00:43:30,762 --> 00:43:34,822
A round fired by Carol struck
the vehicle's windshield

507
00:43:40,558 --> 00:43:44,608
This is a close-up of a Ford pickup truck
that was also parked behind Officer Sanny.

508
00:43:45,318 --> 00:43:47,738
The windshield was struck
by a round fired by Carroll

509
00:43:55,470 --> 00:43:59,020
This is a close-up photograph
of a Nissan parked adjacent to

510
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,759
Officer Sanni's patrol vehicle.

511
00:44:01,339 --> 00:44:04,459
Multiple rounds fired by Corroll
struck the rear of the vehicle

512
00:44:10,358 --> 00:44:13,848
I will now turn the presentation back
over to Sergeant Hollis for the community

513
00:44:13,848 --> 00:44:16,218
engagement portion and closing remarks

514
00:44:31,638 --> 00:44:35,918
We will now transition to the community
engagement portion of this town hall.

515
00:44:36,528 --> 00:44:40,537
Before we begin, I would like to
share the engagement ground rules.

516
00:44:41,317 --> 00:44:48,198
These guidelines are designed to create a
safe and respectful space where everyone

517
00:44:48,198 --> 00:44:50,557
can express themselves and ask questions.

518
00:44:53,262 --> 00:44:57,992
That reflect our community's values of
fairness, dignity, and responsibility.

519
00:44:58,262 --> 00:45:00,952
Please be courteous to everyone here.

520
00:45:02,182 --> 00:45:04,891
Listen to others with respect.

521
00:45:06,521 --> 00:45:11,142
We understand that this is an
emotional topic, but tonight's

522
00:45:11,142 --> 00:45:17,461
focus is on the specific critical
incident, not broader issues.

523
00:45:19,182 --> 00:45:21,812
Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

524
00:45:23,191 --> 00:45:28,201
Anyone who engages in personal attacks
will be asked to leave the cafeteria

525
00:45:30,734 --> 00:45:35,114
If you would like to speak, please
raise your hand and the floor

526
00:45:35,114 --> 00:45:37,484
moderator will bring you a microphone.

527
00:45:38,484 --> 00:45:43,933
To ensure everyone has the opportunity
parti- to participate, each speaker will

528
00:45:43,933 --> 00:45:50,133
have up to three minutes to ask all their
questions or share comments and concerns.

529
00:45:51,943 --> 00:45:54,163
This town hall is being recorded.

530
00:45:54,613 --> 00:46:00,103
To ensure the recording accurately
captures your questions and comments,

531
00:46:00,494 --> 00:46:03,723
please use the microphone when speaking.

532
00:46:04,953 --> 00:46:09,443
When you have finished speaking,
please return the microphone

533
00:46:09,603 --> 00:46:10,953
to the floor moderator.

534
00:46:11,703 --> 00:46:17,173
We will then respond to your questions and
acknowledge your comments and concerns.

535
00:46:18,193 --> 00:46:22,243
Keep in mind that only a short time
has passed since this incident.

536
00:46:23,183 --> 00:46:27,963
We are sharing the maximum
information available at this stage.

537
00:46:28,653 --> 00:46:34,973
Due to multiple ongoing investigations,
we cannot provide details beyond

538
00:46:35,183 --> 00:46:37,324
what has already been presented.

539
00:46:39,173 --> 00:46:44,503
As a department, we emphasize
that preservation of life is

540
00:46:44,573 --> 00:46:46,943
at the core of our mission.

541
00:46:48,213 --> 00:46:52,673
A lethal encounter is never the desired
outcome when law enforcement comes

542
00:46:52,673 --> 00:46:54,923
into contact with members of the public

543
00:46:57,014 --> 00:46:58,444
Thank you for your understanding.

544
00:46:59,274 --> 00:47:04,284
For future inquiries or top- or
topics not related to this incident,

545
00:47:04,294 --> 00:47:13,994
you can contact me by email at
valleiopdpio@cityofvallejo.net, N-E-T.

546
00:47:14,853 --> 00:47:17,184
We will now start the listening session.

547
00:47:17,603 --> 00:47:18,814
Who has the first question?

548
00:47:27,118 --> 00:47:31,418
If we have no questions, this
concludes today's town hall meeting

549
00:47:34,602 --> 00:47:35,031
Thank you
