Overview

• The CHP released aerial footage showing 18-year-old Eric Scott Hernandez-Garcia speeding over 80 mph through residential streets during a pursuit connected to a felony evading incident.
• Hernandez-Garcia’s vehicle first crashed into a minivan and later veered onto a sidewalk, killing Castlemont High School teacher Marvin Boomer and injuring his partner Nina Woodruff.
• Anti Police Terror Project and allied advocacy groups are demanding Governor Newsom withdraw the 120 CHP officers in Oakland and insist the patrol abide by the city’s 50 mph residential chase limit.
• Oakland Police Chief Floyd Mitchell has urged the commission to remove the requirement that officers obtain approval before exceeding 50 mph, saying the current rule falls short of national standards.
• CHP assistant chief Shawna Pacheco confirmed officers halted the ground pursuit after losing sight of the suspect and continued tracking him via aerial units
