San Francisco police released body camera footage Friday showing the events leading up to an officer fatally shooting a man in the city's Richmond District last week.
In a town hall meeting Friday, police said Officer Eduardo Villanueva from the Richmond district station shot and killed Marc Child, 37, on June 22 after receiving a 911 call that a man's son had killed his wife and dog in their house in the 700 block of 31st Avenue.
He stops at the end of a hallway, where blood marks the floor. Child stood at the opposite end of the hall with his right hand exposed and his left hand behind a doorway, ignoring Villanueva's demand to show his hands and get down. "Drop the knife. Hey, I need you to roll back over I need to see your hands. Hey, man, I'm trying to help you, man. Let me see your hands. I'm trying to help you," an officer said.
"I like to express my deepest condolences to Mr. Child's surviving family members for the tragedy they've experienced," Scott said at the beginning of the town hall."In the San Francisco Police Department, we recognize that our sworn duty as law enforcement officers imposes no more solemn obligation on us and to honor and respect the sanctity of human life.
