A jury unanimously found that the death of a transient who was shot by a Danville police officer last year came 'at the hands of another person other than by accident.'
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.
Wilson's father Marvin Wilson came from Texas for the hearing. The former Orange County corrections officer said after the hearing that his son was a star athlete in high school whose mental issues started after he suffered serious brain trauma in a car accident that killed his girlfriend.
