Jason Wilson, 42, was shot and killed by Citrus Heights officers on May 23, 2014, after a 911 caller at a 7-11 on Sunrise Boulevard and Woodmore Oaks Drive reported a domestic violence incident and said Wilson was threatening to kill a woman and had removed a bicycle tire to use as a weapon. Officers arrived with lights and sirens and found Wilson fleeing on a bicycle; he crashed, ran on foot into the dimly lit Sunrise Tech Center, and was pursued.
During the pursuit officers established a perimeter. A police helicopter observed what looked like a rifle strap across Wilson’s chest. Officers say he repeatedly ignored commands and reached into his shirt; when they reestablished visual contact Officer Joseph Davis and others fired, killing Wilson. The Sacramento County District Attorney reviewed reports, video and audio, dispatch calls, witness interviews, photographs and forensic evidence and concluded there was insufficient evidence to file criminal charges, ruling the shooting justified.
Are there witnesses or anyone with additional information about the events at the Sunrise Tech Center that night?
