From [HERE] and [HERE] Anaheim police have shot dead yet another man just a day after killing 24-year old Manuel Diaz. The previous day's shooting sparked a protest against police brutality that was violently broken up by authorities. Police say the second shooting took place on Sunday in the Guinida neighborhood of the city, when anti-gang crime officers spotted a stolen SUV and started chasing it. Three suspects were said to have jumped out of the SUV, with police continuing their pursuit on foot. The men reportedly opened fire at an officer, and the policeman retaliated by shooting dead one of the shooters.
However, eyewitnesses say police shot dead a man who was already handcuffed, OC Weekly reports. According to OC Weekly, and citing eyewitness accounts, police shot dead a handcuffed man on the 400 block of West Guinida Lane. A photo showing the police on the scene can be viewed here. According to friends of the family, the latest victim is Joel Acevedo, an Anaheim resident. Acevedo was apparently a suspected car thief. When witnesses tried to take photos from the second floor of an apartment block, police apparently obscured their view with flashlights.
This second alleged killing happened just a few blocks away from the scene where 24-year-old Manuel Diaz was gunned down by police on Saturday. According to Sgt. Bob Dunn from the Anaheim Police Department, a handgun was found in the silver SUV driven by Acevedo, which was reportedly stolen.
