Jesus Cecena fatally shot San Diego police Officer Archie Buggs in 1978
More than four decades after San Diego police Officer Archie Buggs was fatally shot during a traffic stop, a Superior Court judge has overruled Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to deny parole to the shooter.reversing a state parole board’s decision
“Cecena has a long history of minimizing, denying, displacing blame and contradicting himself in an effort to avoid accepting responsibility for his execution style conduct,” Stephan said. “Without accepting full responsibility for the true nature of this crime, he continues to present a clear and unacceptable danger to our community.”
Cecena, now 61, has been in prison since September 1979. On five occasions in recent years, he was granted parole, but each decision was overturned, first by former Gov. Jerry Brown and more recently by Newsom. Navarro was delayed again when he picked up an intoxicated person walking on a freeway. Then he heard over his police radio that an officer was down in the 7800 block of Skyline Avenue.
In October 2020, after a parole board granted Cecena parole for a fifth time, Newsom pointed to a new reason: The governor said Cecena had not acknowledged that he shot Buggs to gain prominence in the gang to which he belonged.
