Jose Raul Herrera, 59, of Ontario, California, died on May 10, 2014, after an officer-involved shooting at his Placer Street residence. Police had responded late at night to a medical aid call. Officers say Herrera was intoxicated and armed, and that one officer fired after perceiving an immediate threat; Herrera died at the scene.

Family members disputed that account, saying Herrera was unarmed and had fainted because of heart problems, leaving him disoriented and refusing medical treatment. The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office investigated and in December 2015 concluded the officer’s actions were justified. The family criticized that finding and protests followed, with community members demanding accountability and answers.

What information do readers have about Herrera’s condition that night or about witnesses who were at the scene?
