The complete Questions & Answers can be found pinned in the comments below. - Ms. Panda's Den) Incident Questions & Answers ... Q. When will the autopsy report be completed? A. The autopsy is performed by the Solano County Sheriff/Coroner’s Office. The City of Vallejo and its Police Department have no control over the timing of a completed autopsy report. Q. Is the decedent, Willie McCoy, the same person arrested by SFPD for Human Trafficking in April 2018, listed here: https://sanfranciscopolice.org/article/sfpd-make-arrest-human-trafficking-related-kidnapping-18-054 A. The Vallejo Police Department is aware of the SFPD case noted in the link and the Detective Division has a copy of the San Francisco case. Based on that report, VPD has concluded that the suspect in the SFPD case is the decedent. Q. Was the decedent asleep at the time the officers made contact with him? A. The decedent was unresponsive when the officers arrived on scene. It did not appear he was suffering any active medical emergency. However, the autopsy report and the toxicology report being developed by the Solano County Sheriff/Coroner’s Office may assist in answering this question, when it is completed. Q. Is it true that the individual was shot over 20 times? A. The Vallejo Police Department does not have this information. Information about the decedent’s injuries is developed during the autopsy and will be included in the Solano County Sheriff/Coroner’s Office full report. Q. Why did the City of Vallejo not immediately release the names of the police officers involved with the shooting? A. The names of the officers were released in accordance with California law. Based on our previous experiences, police officers have had their personal and family safety threatened as a result of these types of incidents. The Department utilizes this time to conduct a threat assessment,while also providing the officers time to take precautions before releasing their names publicly. Q. Why did the Vallejo Police Department not confirm the identity of the deceased immediately after the incident? A. The Vallejo Police Department is bound by protocols that are intended to protect the deceased and their family. This includes both the official identification by the Solano County Sheriff/Coroner’s office and ensuring that the family of the deceased have been properly notified, before the information is shared with the public. Q. Who can the public contact if they have information relating to this incident? A. Any potential witnesses may contact Vallejo Police Department, Detective Scott Yates at 707-648-4533 or Detective Craig Long at 707-648-4514. Q. What is the process and timeline to investigate an officer involved shooting? A. See the following section for details on the “Solano County Officer Involved Fatal Incident Protocol” and a range of other related questions about the investigation process. Q. Does the City have any comment on the wrongful death claim filed against the Vallejo Police Department? A. The City received a claim on February 28, 2019. The claim is currently under investigation and a determination will be made within 45 days. Q. Is it true that there was only plastic wrap covering the passenger side window? Why didn’t the officers enter through the passenger window? A. The front passenger side window was covered with plastic material with taping around the frame of the window. The administrative investigation will look into whether the passenger window presented a viable entry option, and if so, whether that option was tactically sound. Some of the factors that will be considered in connection with these questions are: What kind of material was it? Could the officers have cut through the plastic, with or without disturbing the driver? If so, could the officers have reached through the window, across the passenger side, to the driver’s side and removed the gun from the driver’s lap, with or without disturbing the driver? Would this option have been safe or practical for the officers, considering the confined space of the vehicle, distance from the passenger side to the driver’s side, the positioning of the vehicle? ...
