Sacramento, July 16 (RHC)-- After a lengthy legal battle between the California city of Gardena and news outlets, a U.S. federal judge has ordered the release of police dashcam footage showing a fatal police shooting two years ago.
In the video, Gardena officers appear to order an unarmed man, Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino, and two other men to raise their hands in the air. When Diaz-Zeferino, who appears not to understand the orders, raised and lowered his hands and then removed his hat, all three officers opened fire, striking him eight times.
The men had been incorrectly suspected of stealing a bicycle.
