The Bakersfield Police Department on Friday released surveillance video and body camera footage where officers fatally shot a knife-wielding suspect who refused to drop the weapon and lunged at them.
The shooting happened Aug. 17 in the area of P Street and Brundage Lane. The suspect, 65-year-old Everardo Gonzalez Santana, was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing and the officers involved remain on modified duty pending a review of the incident on whether the officers’ actions were within state law and department policy. The officers have been identified as Detective Jeffrey Martin and Officer Aaron Waddle.
Police Chief Greg Terry said the release of the video is in keeping with the department’s commitment to accountability and professionalism.
“The public has a legitimate interest in obtaining timely and accurate information about police shootings, and the Bakersfield Police Department is committed to making that information available,” he said. “We will release the body-worn camera footage of officers in critical incidents as soon as it is possible to do so without compromising an investigation.”
