Meeting

With Chief Sanchez Re: Officer Involved Shooting of Kendrec McDade - 4/7/12 In attendance: Carol Hunt-Hernandez, Ishmael Trone, German Barrero, Cheryl Hubbard, Scott Sudduth, Greg Mosely, Michelle Bailey, Dallas Baker, James Smith, Chief Sanchez, Lt. Phlunte Riddle, Mr. Riddle, and Deputy Chief Quarrals The facts of the incident as reported by Chief Sanchez: The incident took place on March 24, 2012 @ 11:04 p.m. at the taco truck locating in the parking lot of the Azteca restaurant on Orange Grove and Summit and concluded with the officer involved shooting of 19 year old, Kendrec McDade @ 11:08 p.m. near the intersection of Sunset and Orange Grove. An emergency call was made @ 11:04 p.m. by Mr. Carillo stating that his back pack and computer had been stolen from him at gunpoint from McDade and a 17 year old accomplice. Carillo told the operator that both were armed. McDade and the minor accomplice fled the scene of the alleged robbery, McDade on foot and the minor via car, west bound on Orange Grove. Carillo followed the 2 men in his car while on the phone with the 911 operator. Upon arriving on the scene, a marked PPD officer with an additional officer in the passenger followed McDade as he ran towards Raymond, then through the Churchs chicken parking lot and continuing on through an alley/easement behind the Chinese food restaurant on the NW corner of Fair Oaks and Orange Grove during which time the passenger officer exited the squad car and continued the chase on foot while the driver resumed the chase in the car ending up around the 700 block of Sunset north of Orange Grove where both officers fired their guns subsequently shooting and killing Kendrec McDade. A question was asked: Did McDade know that that he was being followed by officers and not Carillo? The assumption is that he was aware that the chase at that point was by PPD officers. The officer in the vehicle quickly exited the vehicle and called for a paramedic after the shots were fired. The minor accomplice was soon found behind a trash compactor east of Orange Grove and Fair Oaks, south side. Chief Sanchez, Deputy Chief Quarrals, Lt. Riddle and Commander C. Russ were all on the scene within 90 minutes. Within the next few hours, Chief Sanchez made calls to the following: Pasadena Star News, LA Dist. Atty., LA Coroner. This was in accordance with a procedure that followed another officer involved shooting in 2009. The scene was cordoned off. Due to the scene being so close to New Revelation church, the chief made a call to Pastor Turner to inform him of the incident. On the following morning, Sunday, the chief also phoned the Pasadena NAACP president to inform him of the incident.

In the days following the incident the Chief reported that the videotape stills from the scene and the 911 call were being reviewed for evidence and that the video stills confirmed that there was at least interaction and engagement between McDade, Carillo and the minor accomplice but could not verify that there was conflict. The search for weapons also turned up negative. Officers and detectives soon realized that the Carillos story was not adding up and decided to call Carillo in for a noncustodial interview in which Carillo returned to the PPD voluntarily for further questioning. In the interview officers asked Carillo to re-tell his story of events and he repeated what he had previously stated. When the officers disclosed that they had reviewed the video stills and had concluded that the story wasnt adding up, Carillo recanted his story and confessed that he had lied about the two men being armed in fact there were no guns but that there was a theft. On Wednesday, March 28, 2012, the PPD took Carillo into custody for involuntary manslaughter. On April 3, 2012, the chief requested the involvement of the FBI Civil Rights Division which they accepted and that he met with the OIR group to begin the process. The chief added some additional facts including that over the past several years the PPD had made roughly 8600 arrests with less than 1% use of force incidents.
