Christopher Deandre Mitchell was shot and killed by Torrance Police officers in 2018. Now those two officers face voluntary manslaughter charges.
in the 2018 shooting death of a Black man who was found sitting inside a car that had been reported stolen.Los AngelesJudge Ricardo R. Ocampo ordered the two to return to the downtown Los Angeles courthouse May 15 for a pretrial hearing.
Another Black Lives Matter organizer, Melina Abdullah, said, "We're witnessing some semblance of accountability. We know that it's important to get Anthony Chavez and Matthew Concannon not just indicted, not just convicted ... We need to get these people off the streets." Chavez and Concannon pulled into the parking lot and used their patrol car to block the Honda in place.
Concannon, the report said, gripped his gun with both hands. But, according to body camera footage released later, it's not clear whether Mitchell dropped his hands a second time because Concannon blocked the view of his body-worn camera as he gripped the gun. The district attorney's report acknowledged this, too.
