Santa Ana police confirmed Wednesday that an officer shot and killed an unarmed 22-year-old homeless man after a short foot pursuit at a shopping center 24 hours ago.
Hans Kevin Arellano was shot once in the chest when he got into a confrontation with a female 13-year veteran officer in a juice shop parking lot near South Harbor Boulevard and McFadden Avenue, according to Santa Ana interim Police Chief Carlos Rojas.
When asked why the officer didnt Taser the suspect, Rojas said, Could the officer have had other options? Theres always a lot of different options you have in these situations. It really comes down to the mindset of the officer at that time and what threat they may have been facing.
Why would they pull out a gun instead of Tasering him? Why couldnt they Taser him? He was only 22 years old. He acted not even his age. He acted like a 10-year-old, a woman said.
