Five Berkeley police officers and supervisors have been cleared in two fatal shootings that occurred in 2023. In the first incident, four officers shot Grady Lamar Walker Jr. after he killed the mother of his child. Walker had aimed a gun at police, not knowing it was unloaded. In the second incident, an officer fatally shot David Lee Bonino II, who allegedly drove a stolen vehicle toward officers. Bonino's family has filed a federal lawsuit claiming excessive force and negligence, while the city denies wrongdoing.

In the second incident, an officer fatally shot 39-year-old David Lee Bonino II, who police said drove a stolen vehicle toward officers during a burglary investigation.
