James Moala Kofu, 22, of Fontana, California, was shot and killed in San Bernardino on June 21, 2014, after an officer-involved shooting around 3:30 a.m. on the 800 block of North Davidson Avenue. Fontana officers were conducting a follow-up to a shooting the previous night when they were approached by two men who appeared armed. Police identified Kofu as one of the men; officers say he pointed a sawed-off rifle at them and they fired. Kofu was struck and pronounced dead at the scene; a weapon was found nearby.

The second man, identified as 35-year-old Antonio Valentino Ramirez, fled on foot but was arrested two hours later at a residence on Davidson Avenue and booked on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the Fontana and San Bernardino incidents. San Bernardino investigators concluded the officers’ use of force was in self-defense. Does anyone have information about Kofu’s movements that night or about the earlier Fontana shooting?
