A jury at a Contra Costa County coroner's inquest hearing Friday unanimously found the death of a transient who was shot by a Danville police officer last year to be a homicide.
The jury in the hearing looking at the death of 33-year-old Tyrell Wilson in Danville last year unanimously found that Wilson's death came"at the hands of another person other than by accident."
Hall then shot Wilson in the face. Wilson was holding a 4-inch pocket knife and walking toward Hall, who was backpedaling. Wilson asked Hall multiple times who he was, even after Hall identified himself as a police officer. Video showed Wilson also asking"what country is this?" Melen said Hall told him he didn't use his pepper spray because of other people in the area and didn't use his Taser stun gun because it likely wouldn't work through Wilson's heavy clothing. He said Hall stated he didn't use other hand-to-hand measures because of Wilson's size.
Forensic pathologist Ikechi Ogan, who did Wilson's autopsy, said marijuana was the only drug he found in Wilsons's system. The elder Wilson, now retired, said he'll be back -- especially if Becton decides to charge Hall with any crime.
