STOCKTON, Calif. — Police released bodycam footage from the deadly shooting that claimed the life of 30-year-old Stockton police officer Jimmy Inn in May 2021.
Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said releasing the video is keeping in line with the department’s principles of transparency.
“This was a very traumatic incident for everyone. So, please be advised, there may be some very difficult video and audio,” Jones said.
The shooting happened on May 11 during a disturbance call at a home in the 4400 block of La Cresta Way.
A neighbor called 911 around 9:45 a.m. after hearing a woman screaming. The witness also told police he saw a woman bleeding, with a ripped shirt and “appeared to have been assaulted.”
Officer Inn arrived at the home at 10:07 a.m. and knocked on the door. Investigators say the shooter, Lance Lowe, shouted from inside “Hey, police!” before opening the door and immediately firing several shots at Inn.
A second officer arriving at the home, identified as Officer Pancho Freer, heard the gunshots and saw Lowe standing over Inn. He said Lowe opened fire on his patrol car and he returned fire while still inside the vehicle.
