"32-year-old Jasmine Gao became the victim of an officer-involved shooting 0n November 19, 2024 in the parking lot of Union City Station, and the earliest reports about the incident were confusing. BART said that Gao had assaulted a BART police officer, but a subsequent release of bodyworn camera footage from the incident showed that no assault occurred. A BART police officer, Nicholas Poblete, claimed that he was dragged by Gao's vehicle when she attempted to drive away."
"In the video, which is available on YouTube, Gao can be seen alone in her vehicle nervously answering questions from the officers. She tells them she is a "new driver" and she doesn't know how to do donuts she suggests that "some other guys" were in the parking lot doing donuts, but she was only sitting there parked while on the phone. The officers ask about her out-of-state driver's license and an expired registration on her car."
On November 19, 2024, 32-year-old Jasmine Gao was shot three times by a BART police officer in the Union City Station parking lot after officers stopped her vehicle. Initial BART statements said Gao assaulted an officer, but released body-worn camera footage showed no assault and contradicted early claims. Video shows Gao alone in her car, saying she was a "new driver", claiming others had been doing donuts, and appearing nervous while searching for registration and insurance. An officer, Nicholas Poblete, later said he was dragged by Gao's vehicle. A scuffle occurred when officers reached into the car after Gao snatched back her ID. BART now says the initial report was inaccurate and Gao received a significant legal settlement.
