Case Summary
Fatally shot 15-year-old Oakland resident Jose Buenrostro around noon and then allegedly planted a gun on him in order to make it appear that he was armed at the time he was shot. The plaintiffs, Buenrostro’s relatives, alleged that the undercover officers shot the boy as he was walking peacefully down the street, then picked up spent shell casings and cleaned the blood from the sidewalk before police technicians could arrive on the scene. OPD officers claimed that Buenrostro aimed a sawed-off rifle at them unprovoked. The shooting occurred within blocks of Acorn Woodland Elementary School, in the 7900 block of Rudsdale St. in East Oakland.
