Sunday marks 345 days since a Sonoma County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed David Pelaez-Chavez following a foot chase in the rural Knight’s Valley, and the public still does not know whether prosecutors will bring criminal charges against the officer who pulled the trigger.
Police say the investigation into the shooting of David Pelaez-Chavez had been substantially completed in September but was delayed while awaiting a report from the Marin County Coroner’s office.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta defended his decision not to investigate a Sonoma County Sheriff deputy’s shooting of David Pelaez-Chavez in a Press Democrat interview. Meanwhile a state lawmaker called for the AG to investigate any law enforcement caused death statewide.
The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office released video of a deadly shooting where a deputy killed a man they say was armed with a claw hammer, a rock, and a tiller. Family members of the man killed say he was not a threat.
