Overview

• Prosecutors say officers tried to stop 21-year-old Kenneth Cubero on Sept. 17 after he ignored two stop signs near 12th and Greenfield.
• He stopped his car, ran into traffic despite commands to stop, dropped a gun, and moved to retrieve it during a foot chase.
• An officer just feet away fired multiple times, striking Cubero in the neck, buttocks, and back, according to court documents.
• Police recovered a semi-automatic handgun, an extended magazine, and 9 grams of marijuana during searches of the scene and car.
• Cubero is due in court Tuesday on the misdemeanor, which carries up to nine months in jail and a $10,000 fine, and police said marijuana possession could bring additional counts.
