San Diego, California — The San Diego Police Department released video footage of the fatal shooting by three officers of a robbery suspect who allegedly pulled a knife and a pellet gun on them in Logan Heights. The video includes portions of surveillance footage captured about 7:30 a.m. Monday from inside Mullens Market and Liquor in the 3000 block of Imperial Avenue. In it, 21-year-old Isaac Andrade approaches a store clerk at the market’s counter and shows them a large knife he’s holding in his left hand as part of a robbery attempt. Patrol officers investigating the holdup spotted the suspect walking in an alley just south of the scene of the crime, Brown said. As they approached, Andrade alleged reached into his jacket and produced a knife in one hand and what appeared to be a firearm in the other. In response, SDPD Officers Michael Martinez, Michael Muniz and Angel Vidrios shot the suspect. Police and firefighters tried in vain to revive Andrade before paramedics pronounced him dead. The gun that Andrade allegedly pulled turned out to be an airsoft- style pellet pistol, the lieutenant said.

An independent investigative unit in the Maryland Attorney General’s office released a seven-minute video Wednesday showing a shootout between Montgomery County Police officers and 27-year-old Osman Sesay of Silver Spring, who died as a result.

The video is graphic, but as part of a newly formed unit charged with investigating fatal encounters between law enforcement officers and civilians, the attorney general’s mandate is to increase transparency with the public.

Sesay was shot and killed by police on December 29, 2021, after he opened fire on officers during an early morning traffic stop following a shooting at a nightclub in Silver Spring.
