A $100 million lawsuit has been filed against the city of San Bernardino by the family of a man who was allegedly armed when he was shot and killed by police in July.
The incident happened on July 16 in a parking lot in the 400 block of W. Highland Avenue in San Bernardino. Police said they were conducting surveillance in an unmarked vehicle when they saw Adams with a gun.
"Officers briefly chased Adams," Police Chief Darren Goodman said in a video statement released by the police department shortly after the incident. "But seeing that he had no outlet, they believed he intended to use the vehicles as cover to shoot at them.""I don't want this for no other parent," said Adams' mother, Tamika Deavila-King. "This is hell on Earth. We want justice.
"We were on the phone. And he was in good spirits that day. He was celebrating about a car one of his cousins just bought, and he was laughing on the phone," she said. "And then it just went blank, and somebody else clicked in on the line. And they told me that it was him being shot." "The men and women of the San Bernardino Police Department work tirelessly to protect our residents during a time when violent crime is on the rise," Goodman said in the video statement released in July.
