Local, National Outrage Follow Videos Detailing Police Shooting Of Unarmed Teen In The Back Of Head

Two videos that surfaced this week of a Fresno police officer shooting a 16-year-old boy in the back of the head have caused local and national outrage. “We have to reform our policing system to end the ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ mentality that ends far too many black & brown lives,” presidential candidate Juli á n Castro tweeted Thursday evening. “The fact that these officers weren’t held accountable is shameful—and more evidence that the system is broken.” On April 15, 2017, police pulled over Isiah Murrietta-Golding because he was suspected of being involved in a deadly shooting that happened the day before. Bodycam footage, released by the family’s attorney Stuart Chandler Tuesday, shows Murrietta-Golding fleeing from police. Police chased Murrietta-Golding to the Discovery Center, a daycare in Fresno, where he hopped a fence, surveillance video from the center shows. While he was running, Murrietta-Golding looked back for a second with his left hand on his waistband.
