Police said he was an armed felon and an unlicensed security guard for an illegal gambling facility. They later recovered the man's loaded Taurus G3C at the scene. The family disputed that claim and said police did not identify themselves before shooting.
San Bernardino police came under scrutiny Monday after security footage showing the events leading up to the fatal police shooting of a 23-year-old Black man surfaced on social media.
According to the San Bernardino Police Department, uniformed officers from a specialized unit were investigating complaints from neighbors about an illegal gambling facility on Saturday at about 8 p.m. Robert Adams, 23 could be seen talking to someone before walking in the direction of the officers' vehicle. As he approached the car, two officers jumped out with their guns drawn shortly before Adams began to run towards a nearby wall.
Within 15 seconds of getting out of their car, officers shot Adams in the back as he ran between two parked cars. He later died at the hospital. Police said he was an armed felon and an unlicensed security guard for the facility. They later recovered a loaded Taurus G3C at the scene and said Adams was carrying the gun while running away.
