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. The footage shows Meza stopping on Charlotte Avenue, then stepping out of his vehicle. He then turns toward police with his right arm extended and officers respond by opening fire.
