Killing of Freddy Centeno Caught on Fresno PD Body Cameras
Family of Freddy Centeno Files Lawsuit Against Fresno Police for Wrongful Death
On March 23, the family of Freddy Centeno filed a lawsuit against the Fresno Police department alleging that officers Zebulon Price and Felipe Miguel Lucero acted beyond the limits of their authority when they shot Freddy seven times on September 3, 2015. Freddy was unarmed, carrying a spray nozzle to a garden hose. The officers opened fire less than six seconds after they exited their cruiser. Fresno police Chief Jerry Dyer said that the video showed the officers giving Centeno multiple commands, but Freddy is seen in the video being gunned down immediately after a second command to "get on the ground." Chief Dyer had said in August that de-escalation, implicit bias and mental health training was underway, although after the lawsuit was announced, Fresno police Deputy Chief Robert Nevarez said the responding officers did not have time to implement the training. The shooting left Freddy in a coma for twenty-three days before he passed away.
