New video shows California officers fatally shooting Black man accused of jaywalking
A newly released video shows a deadly confrontation between sheriff s deputies and a homeless man in San Clemente, California, in September.
In the video, two Orange County sheriff s deputies are heard casually deciding whether to confront 42-year-old Kurt Reinhold. The deputies were on patrol assigned to the homeless outreach team. Watch this, he s going to jaywalk, one of the deputies said.
A deputy then asks Reinhold, Are you going to stop or are we going to have to make you stop? Jaywalking here? That s ridiculous, Reinhold said.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department released footage Wednesday of the police-involved shooting of a 42-year-old Black man killed after being accused of jaywalking in San Clemente last September.
On Sept. 23, two Orange County deputies confronted Kurt Andras Reinhold on the corner of El Camino Real near Hotel Miramar in San Clemente, California. Bystander footage of the shooting that circulated last year showed the deputies trying to keep Reinhold, who was homeless, from walking in the street. After Reinhold tried walking away, the deputies wrestled him to the ground. One deputy shouted “He’s got my gun!”
The deputies performed life-saving measures, but Reinhold was pronounced dead on the scene. Both deputies, identified as Eduardo Duran and Jonathan Israel were a part of the Homeless Outreach Team. Reinhold’s family said the father of two was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the shooting.
