The lawsuit claims the officer who fired had no “objective facts” to believe that Murrietta Golding was armed or reaching for a weapon. The bullet went through the back of the teen’s head, according to the father’s lawsuit, and he died three days later. Chandler, who represents Murrietta Golding’s father, said the suits were filed separately because the couple are divorced. Murrietta Golding’s parents filed separate wrongful death lawsuits against the city of Fresno and several of its officers in March 2018. In the police body camera footage, also provided by the attorney, someone off camera can be heard saying “good shot.” Murrietta Golding then stumbles and falls to the ground. One officer climbs the fence while the other gets into a crouching stance and fires through the fence, the video shows. Murrietta Golding, wearing a gray sweater, lands on his feet and starts to run. The surveillance camera footage, provided by attorney Stuart Chandler, shows 16-year-old Isiah Murrietta Golding climb a fence and enter a small yard as he is being chased by two officers. Police in Fresno, California, say that three different official departments have ruled the shooting justified. Newly released video of a fatal police shooting in April 2017 shows an officer firing a deadly shot at an unarmed 16-year-old who had jumped over a fence and was running away.
