    The family of a man who was shot and killed by San Gabriel police at the end of a car chase last year is asking the justice department to file criminal charges in the case. Body cameras worn by officers show they shot at 50-year-old Pedro Meza more than 40 times after a pursuit ended in Rosemead in July 2024.
