Pasadena (Calif.) Police have arrested Oscar Carrillo and booked him on suspicion of manslaughter of an unarmed college student who was shot by officers after Carrillo told a dispatcher he was robbed at gunpoint.
"Mr. Carrillo emphatically indicated a gun was involved ... that is very important. It sets the platform for the mind-set of the responding officers," Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said at a news conference Wednesday.
An officer shot 19-year-old Kendrec McDade on a narrow street in the city's Northwest district about 11 p.m. Saturday, reports the Los Angeles Times.
