The First Amendment Coalition demanded that the City of San Diego comply with FAC’s request for all records relating to a police officer’s fatal shooting of 16-year-old Konoa Wilson. Although the shooting occurred over 18 months ago and the city settled a civil lawsuit about the shooting for $30 million, the city has defied California’s police transparency laws by disclosing virtually no records except a limited excerpt of video footage.
Following an earlier lawsuit, FAC won a court order compelling the city to disclose all records related to the use of “beanbag” shotgun rounds and a police dog on Marcus Evans.
