加州司法部发布警涉枪击报告：Jesus Guzman Jr. 案证据不足以起诉涉事警员
加州司法部11月3日发布：州总检察长 Rob Bonta 依据州议会第1506号法案（AB 1506），当天发布关于 Jesus Guzman Jr. 警涉枪击死亡案的调查报告。该案发生于2023年4月29日，地点在加州格伦县，涉事警员来自加州公路巡警局（CHP）。司法部经广泛调查后认定，现有证据不支持对涉事警员提起刑事指控。
报告还原的经过是：2023年4月29日，一名 CHP 警员发现 Guzman 的车辆在格伦县境内的5号州际公路上超速行驶，试图拦停检查后演变为车辆追逐。追逐中 Guzman 的车辆疑似发生机械故障，停在 Artois 以北一处杏仁果园。步行追逐结束后双方发生扭打，Guzman 击打警员，并在扭打中夺过警员的电击枪指向警员，警员随即开枪将 Guzman 击毙。
司法部表示，依据 AB 1506 对州内无武装平民在警涉枪击中死亡的案件展开彻底调查后认定，现有证据无法在排除合理怀疑的标准下证明，涉事警员的行为不是出于自卫、也不是出于保护他人免受其合理认为迫在眉睫的死亡或严重身体伤害。因此，支持刑事起诉的证据不足，本案不再采取进一步行动。
Bonta 说：「我们希望这份报告能为社区与直接受影响的人带来清晰的交代。本办公室致力于在执法机构与社区之间促进信任、透明与问责，共同建设一个对所有居民更安全的加州。」
调查同时提出五项建议，主要针对 CHP：就启动或终止步行追逐时应考虑的因素提供更多培训；就高风险拦停时何时应等待支援提供培训；就控制或铐押不配合者时运用时间、距离与掩护等操作安全战术提供更多培训；以及就电击枪的有效使用提供更多培训。

California DOJ Releases Report on Officer-Involved Shooting of Jesus Guzman Jr.: Evidence Does Not Support Criminal Charges
The California Department of Justice said on November 3 that Attorney General Rob Bonta, in accordance with Assembly Bill 1506 (AB 1506), released that day a report on the death of Jesus Guzman Jr. from an officer-involved shooting in Glenn County, California, on April 29, 2023, involving an officer from the California Highway Patrol (CHP). After an extensive investigation, the DOJ concluded that the evidence does not support filing criminal charges in this case.
According to the report, on April 29, 2023, a CHP officer observed Mr. Guzman's vehicle speeding down Interstate 5 in Glenn County. The officer attempted a traffic enforcement stop that resulted in a vehicle pursuit. During the pursuit, Mr. Guzman's vehicle seemingly experienced a mechanical failure, causing him to stop at an almond orchard north of Artois, California. After a foot pursuit ended, a struggle ensued, and Mr. Guzman punched the officer. During the struggle, Mr. Guzman took the officer's TASER and pointed it at him. The officer then fatally shot Mr. Guzman.
Under AB 1506, which requires the DOJ to investigate officer-involved shootings resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian, the DOJ concluded that the evidence does not show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the officer acted without the intent to defend himself and others from what he reasonably believed to be imminent death or serious bodily injury. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution of the officer, and no further action will be taken in this case.
"We hope that this report provides clarity to the community and those personally affected," said Attorney General Bonta. "My office is committed to building a safer California for all residents by promoting trust, transparency, and accountability between law enforcement agencies and communities."
The DOJ identified five recommendations related to the incident, directed at the CHP: additional training on the factors to be considered in deciding whether to initiate or disengage in a foot pursuit; training on when to wait for backup before engaging in a high-risk traffic stop; additional training on operational safety tactics, including using time, distance, and cover when attempting to restrain or handcuff a non-compliant individual; and additional training on the effective use of TASERs.
