The two officers who fired the bulk of the shots include one who was identified as a target of an ongoing FBI and Contra Costa District Attorney probe involving suspected crimes of moral turpitude.
ANTIOCH — An officer under investigation by the FBI and Contra Costa District Attorney was one of two who fired the bulk of the 19 shots that killed a 55-year-old city resident, ending an hours-long December armed standoff in which the man fired dozens of shots at neighbors and police, according to testimony at a Friday inquest hearing.
The other officer who fired the bulk of the rounds was Ryan McDonald. None of the four officers who shot at Zavala was called to testify before an inquest jury Friday, which heard from an Antioch police detective, a Contra Costa DA inspector, and a special agent with the California Department of Justice. Inquest juries are called for every in-custody or police-related death in Contra Costa and are tasked with finding the official manner of death.
Dozens of officers arrived from Antioch and Pittsburg police departments, including two SWAT teams and a crisis negotiation team. They confirmed with family that Zavala was an Army National Guardsman who’d gone AWOL and was in possession of at least two firearms, an AR-15 rifle and a Glock pistol. From there, police drone video footage shows Zavala exiting the house a second time through a kitchen window, then taking cover underneath a barbecue. The video shows Zavala holding an object that police at the time wrongly believed was a firearm.
