The Alameda County District Attorney's Office found no criminal liability for the Hayward officers involved in the fatal shooting of Agustin Gonsalez, citing self-defense as a justification. This determination followed a thorough reevaluation of previously considered cases, reflecting ongoing changes in oversight under new DA Pamela Price's leadership.
Officers Phillip Wooley and Michael Clark were cleared of wrongdoing after the PAU determined that the prosecution couldn't prove that the officers didn't act in self-defense when Gonsalez approached with a razor.
The PAU's review process included comprehensive evaluation of prior reports and testimonies, ensuring a rigorous reassessment of the circumstances surrounding Gonsalez's death, amidst ongoing efforts to enhance accountability.
In an era marked by calls for police accountability, this case adds to a significant discourse on the use of deadly force, raising questions about how such incidents are examined.
