San Diego Police Officer Fatally Shoots Teen Fleeing Gunfire Incident

Bodycam and surveillance footage reveal a 16-year-old was shot by an officer after running from a separate shooting at a train station.

  • San Diego Police released bodycam and surveillance footage of the January 28 incident at Santa Fe Depot, showing Officer Daniel Gold shooting 16-year-old Konoa Wilson as he fled from another teen who had fired shots at him.
  • Wilson, unarmed at the time of the shooting but with a concealed firearm found on him afterward, was pronounced dead at the hospital following medical attention at the scene.
  • The officer involved, responding to an unrelated call, encountered Wilson running toward him and fired immediately after identifying himself as police.
  • The San Diego Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation into the shooting, and the District Attorney will determine whether the officer’s actions were legally justified.
  • A 16-year-old suspect connected to the initial gunfire at the station has been arrested, while Wilson’s family and community held a vigil to honor his memory.
