加州司法部公布长滩涉警枪击报告：Brandon Salgado 持仿真气枪与警方对峙一小时后身亡 开枪警员证据不足不起诉
加州总检察长 Rob Bonta 10月27日公布州司法部依《众议院法案第1506号》（AB 1506）完成的调查报告：2024年4月26日，加州洛杉矶县长滩市（Long Beach）警局警员开枪致 Brandon Salgado 死亡一案，司法部经全面调查后认定，现有证据不足以对开枪警员提起刑事起诉，本案不采取进一步行动。
报告还原的事发经过如下：2024年4月26日，长滩警局一名警员接报前往处置一宗“持械入室抢劫”报警。增援警员到场后，Salgado 与警方对峙约一小时，其间他多次声称自己持有武器，并先后将一件看似枪支的物品指向自己、最终指向警员；一名警员随即开枪，Salgado 中枪身亡。事后查明，Salgado 当时所持的是一把仿真气枪。
AB 1506 要求州司法部调查全州范围内导致无武器平民死亡的涉警枪击事件。司法部表示，调查证据无法在排除合理怀疑的情况下证明，开枪警员的行为不是出于自卫或保护他人——该警员当时有理由相信，自己正面临迫在眉睫的死亡或重伤威胁；因此，证据不足以支持对该警员的刑事起诉。
Bonta 在声明中说：“生命的逝去永远是悲剧，我们希望这份报告能为亲身受影响的人们和长滩社区带来一个清晰的交代。加州司法部致力于与执法机构合作，营造一个促进公平、透明与问责的法律体系。我们相信，我们的责任是在信任的基础上建设一个更安全的加州，而 AB 1506 是帮助我们实现这些目标的基石。”
司法部同时表示，该部在每宗 AB 1506 调查中都会仔细检视案件，以提出有助于防止类似事件再次发生的政策建议；本案经详细调查后，未提出任何政策建议。

California DOJ Releases AB 1506 Report on Long Beach Police Shooting of Brandon Salgado: Replica Airsoft Gun, Hour-Long Standoff, No Charges Against Officer
California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Oct. 27 released a California Department of Justice (DOJ) report, completed under Assembly Bill 1506 (AB 1506), on the April 26, 2024, death of Brandon Salgado, who was shot by a Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officer in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California. After a thorough investigation, DOJ concluded that the evidence does not support filing criminal charges against the officer, and no further action will be taken in this case.
According to the report, on April 26, 2024, an LBPD officer responded to a call of an “armed home invasion robbery.” After backup officers arrived, Salgado engaged in an hour-long standoff with police, during which he repeatedly stated he was armed and pointed what appeared to be a gun at himself and eventually at the officers. An officer then fired his weapon, fatally wounding Salgado. After the shooting, it was discovered that the gun Salgado held was a replica airsoft pistol.
AB 1506 requires DOJ to investigate all officer-involved shootings in California that result in the death of an unarmed civilian. DOJ said the evidence does not show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the officer involved acted without the intent to defend himself and others from what he reasonably believed to be an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury; therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution of the officer.
“The loss of life is always tragic, and we hope that this report provides those personally affected and the Long Beach community clarity,” Attorney General Bonta said. “The California Department of Justice is committed to working with law enforcement agencies to foster a legal system that promotes fairness, transparency, and accountability for all. We believe it is our responsibility to create a safer California built on the foundation of trust and AB 1506 is fundamental in helping us achieve those goals.”
DOJ said that in every AB 1506 investigation it meticulously examines the case to propose policy recommendations that could help prevent similar incidents in the future; after a detailed investigation, it identified no policy recommendations in this case.
