San Francisco, June 5 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of California, police in the city of Vallejo fatally shot an unarmed 22-year-old Latino man who was kneeling and had his hands up outside a Walgreens, after officers responded to a call about alleged looting during protests against the police killing of George Floyd. 

Police said they believed Sean Monterrosa had a gun, but later said he only had a hammer in his pocket. Witnesses say when police arrived, Monterrosa quickly dropped to his knees and surrendered, when a police officer in an unmarked car shot him five times through the windshield. 

Sean Monterrosa grew up in San Francisco and had previously worked at a Boys & Girls Club.
