Shining new light on a 2017 police shooting that an internal investigation deemed “justified” and “within department policy,” horrific video released this week showed that a Fresno, California officer shot unarmed 16-year-old Isiah Murrietta-Golding in the back of the head as he attempted to flee.

“They just saw him as an animal who had been shot. They hunted a target. It’s inhumane.”
—Stuart Chandler, attorney for Isiah Murrietta-Golding’s father

The video was released by attorney Stuart Chandler, who is representing the teenager’s father in a lawsuit against the Fresno Police Department.

“The city was so adamant that the officer ‘feared for his life,'” Chandler told The Guardian on Thursday. “Why were they hiding the video? If a picture speaks a thousand words, then the video speaks a million words.”

Chandler also condemned the decision by one of the officers to handcuff Murrietta-Golding after his partner, Sgt. Ray Villalvazo, shot the unarmed teenager, who died in a hospital three days later.

“He’s unconscious and in the process of dying. What is the threat?” said Chandler. “They just saw him as an animal who had been shot. They hunted a target. It’s inhumane.”
