Civil rights attorney John Burris, is upset by the delay in prosecuting Andrew Hall, a white police officer from Danville California, who opened fire on an unarmed Filipino man in 2018. Hall’s prosecution had to wait until last week.
Burris, who’s representing the mother of the 33-year-old Filipino, felt that this was too much delay and that it’s what allowed Hall to kill another person, this time a Black man. Burris also feels that if Hall’s prosecution would have come earlier, the Black man he gunned down would still be alive.
“In this instance, the delay in prosecuting Hall is particularly hurtful because Hall recently shot and killed a homeless man, Tyrell Wilson, under very questionable circumstances,” Burris said. “Wilson could be alive if Hall were prosecuted earlier.”
The attorney for a Filipino man killed by a Danville, California, police officer in 2018 said the delay until last week in prosecuting the officer for the 2018 shooting allowed the same officer to go on to gun down a Black man last month.

Tyrell Wilson, 32, was fatally shot by Andrew Hall on March 11 after being suspected of throwing rocks onto the freeway. Body camera footage of the shooting was released on Wednesday, April 21. (Photos: Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department/YouTube screenshots)
