Overview

• Body-worn camera video and 911 audio show 27-year-old former Marine Angel Montaño stepping out of his Richmond home armed with a kitchen knife and a utility knife.
• Officers Nicholas Remick and Colton Stocking were placed on administrative leave after firing on Montaño when he advanced toward them despite repeated orders to stop.
• Richmond PD staged outside awaiting bean-bag and 40 mm less-lethal munitions before moving in when they believed a family member was in imminent danger.
• Remick is already under California DOJ investigation for a February fatal shooting and faces multiple civil lawsuits alleging excessive force.
• Civil rights attorney John Burris, representing Montaño’s family, argues that de-escalation tactics should have been used instead of lethal force.
