Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office Declines to File Charges in Officer Involved
Shooting in Torrance
Prosecutors also found that Torrance police Officers Anthony Chavez and Matthew Concannon were justified in using deadly force last Dec. 9 against Christopher Deandre Mitchell after spotting the 23-year-old Los Angeles man sitting in the parking lot of a supermarket in a black Honda Civic that had been reported stolen.
“The evidence examined in this investigation shows that Mitchell was driving a stolen car. He was about to be detained for investigation of a possible grand theft auto,” according to the document from the District Attorney’s Office detailing the shooting “As the responding officers approached, they observed what they reasonably perceived to be a firearm in Mitchell’s lap. Mitchell made movements toward the weapon … Although the weapon was later determined to be an air rifle, the officers’ belief that the weapon was a firearm was reasonable under the circumstances.”
