In November 2018, Deputy Andrew Hall fatally shot Laudemer Arboleda, a mentally ill man, during a low-speed car chase. Hall fired multiple rounds through Arboleda’s windshield and window, killing him. In October 2021, a jury convicted Hall of assault with a firearm, and in March 2022, he was sentenced to six years in prison. Despite the conviction, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department had previously exonerated Hall in their internal investigation.
