Details Murky in Officer Involved Shooting in Seaside

by Monterey County Police News
The Monterey County Weekly is reporting that a man was killed on Laguna Street in Seaside by Seaside Police on November 22. According to the Weekly, "a source who asked to remain anonymous confirms the man, who was taken by ambulance to Natividad Medical Center, had died."
The Monterey Weekly article states that Seaside Police, "refused to comment," about the incident.

The press release issued by the Seaside Police on November 22 announced that a 27-year-old Hispanic man was the victim of an officer involved shooting, and that he was taken to the hospital, but does not include any further information about the man's well being. Seaside Police say they encountered the man when they were responding to a domestic incident of some sort (the press release is unclear about the details).

The police press release states that the investigation, "is currently ongoing and details cannot be released," and that an investigation will be undertaken by the Monterey County District Attorney's Office, in addition to their own investigation.

The Monterey County Weekly is the only news source to report on the incident.
