Officer Jonathan Torres' use of deadly force during an October 2020 shootout with a 71-year-old man was justified, prosecutors said.
Orange County prosecutors announced they would not file charges against a California Highway Patrol officer who killed a homeless man during a shootout at an encampment in Los Alamitos.
The Caltrans employee visited the encampment the next morning, called out, and Sabat poked his head out of a tent, prosecutors said. The employee told him to leave and said officers would be on site in 15 minutes.The Los Angeles Police Commission ruled that the fatal police shooting of Alex Flores Jr. was justified, though they disapproved of the tactics used in the lead-up to the shooting.
Around 9:21 a.m., Torres looked inside and found Sabat fully dressed and on his hands and knees, the letter said. When the officer looked inside a second time, Sabat was holding a large revolver.“Officer Torres then heard a pop from the revolver and instantly felt a stinging sensation to the left side of his face,” the letter said. His “left eye went completely shut and he believed he had been shot.
Firefighters and officers discussed how to safely approach, prosecutors said. Around 12:10 p.m., firefighters used an aerial ladder and high-pressure hose to sweep the tent off Sabat.
