# Bodycam Shows California Officer Shooting Man Running Away With Gun

San Bernardino, California — The San Bernardino police department released a detailed explanation of an incident in which officers fatally shot an armed man as he was fleeing in a parking lot. On Saturday, July 16, 2022, at approximately 8:05 p.m., two fully uniformed San Bernardino Specialized Investigations Unit Officers were conducting follow-up in an unmarked vehicle after receiving information from a citizen that a black male adult armed with a handgun was seen in the parking lot of a business located in the 400 block of West Highland Avenue.

As officers arrived, they spotted two males - one of them clearly displaying a gun in his waistband. Additionally, a number of community members were walking and in their vehicles in the parking lot, as well as residents outside in the adjacent homes. One of the males - later identified as 23-year-old Rob Marquise Adams of San Bernardino, saw the officer's vehicle, pulled the gun from his pants, and began walking toward the officers in the car. The officers exited their vehicle and gave Adams verbal commands, but he immediately ran toward two parked vehicles with the gun in his right hand.

Officers briefly chased Adams, but seeing that he had no outlet, they believed he intended to use the vehicles as cover to shoot at them. The officer saw Adams look over his left shoulder with the gun still in his right hand. Fearing that bystanders' or the officers’ lives were in danger, one of the officers fired his gun, striking Adams.…
