Jacorey Calhoun was 23 and a resident of Oakland when he was shot and killed by an Alameda County sheriff’s deputy on August 3, 2014. The encounter began around 4 a.m. after Oakland police tried to stop a silver 2001 Volvo linked to a July 12 home-invasion robbery in which a resident was pistol-whipped. Calhoun fled, officers pursued him to the area of 105th and Edes avenues, and fog prevented helicopter support.

Around 5:50 a.m. a K-9 unit located Calhoun in a yard; as he attempted to run, Deputy Derek Thoms fired the shots that killed him. Calhoun’s family, represented by attorney John Burris, maintains he was unarmed and running away when shot and filed a wrongful-death suit alleging excessive force. The shooting was investigated by Oakland police, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, and the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office.

Does anyone have information about Calhoun’s movements that night or witnessed the pursuit near 105th and Edes avenues?
