PASADENA, Calif. —Oscar Carrillo’s 911 call was clear: Two young men took his computer and backpack. At least one of them had a gun, which was pointed in Carrillo’s face.
Moments later, police caught up with two teens they thought were the thieves. When one of them, Kendrec McDade, made a move at his waistband, an officer opened fire, killing the 19-year-old college student, authorities said.
No weapons or the stolen items have been found.
Now, police are laying part of the blame on Carrillo, who they say admitted that he lied about the men being armed so officers would respond faster.
“The actions of the 911 caller set the minds of the officers,” Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said.
