Daniel Robert Ramirez, 30, of Anaheim, California, was fatally shot on April 4, 2019. Ramirez did not receive immediate medical attention after being shot and later died of his injuries.

Officer Bennallack had been involved in three other fatal on-duty shootings since 2012, a fact that drew scrutiny in this case. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office investigated and cleared Bennallack of criminal wrongdoing, finding insufficient evidence to prove criminal culpability and concluding his actions were reasonable and justified under the circumstances. Ramirez’s family and civil rights advocates protested the decision and raised broader concerns about use of force and accountability in law enforcement.

If anyone witnessed the April 4, 2019 incident or has information about Ramirez’s final moments, please share what is known.
