(VOA NEWS) – The attorney general’s office in the western U.S. state of California is joining an investigation into the deadly police shooting of an unarmed African-American man to provide independent oversight. The announcement was made by the police chief of Sacramento, the capital city of California, where the shooting occurred. Chief Daniel Hahn said the partnership is intended to “build faith and confidence” in the probe. The officers were responding to a nighttime phone call about a man breaking car windows and a glass door in the area. The police killing of another unarmed African-American person sparked outrage from activists who are demanding greater independence in the investigation.
