   A Southern California police officer fatally shot a 23-year-old   
   Black man who was blocked by a building when he attempted to run   
   away, according to officials and video of the incident.   
      
   In a Tuesday video statement, San Bernardino Police Chief Darren   
   Goodman said two uniformed officers on Saturday in an unmarked   
   car responded to reports of an armed Black man in the parking   
   lot of a business.   
      
   Goodman said that when the officers arrived, a man with a gun,   
   identified as Rob Marquise Adams, started walking toward the car.   
      
   But the young man's mother, Tamika King, insisted that he had a   
   cellphone, not a gun, in his hand — and was speaking to her just   
   before police arrived.   
      
   King said Adams could be seen in the video celebrating his   
   friend's purchase of a new car.   
      
   "He just got a new car, they both have twin BMWs," King told   
   reporters.   
      
   "You can see my son dancing because he didn't know what was   
   going on, he was dancing. And I was on the phone and all I heard   
   after that was gun shots. He never told me goodbye. He never   
   told me goodbye."   
      
   Civil rights attorney Ben Crump disputed the police account of   
   the shooting.   
      
   "She heard the gunfire, she heard the shots in rapid succession   
   and then she never heard her son's voice again," Crump said.   
      
   Edited video released by police, which is graphic and captures   
   the shooting, shows two men in the parking lot. One of them   
   appears to take what looks like a handgun out of his waistband,   
   according to Goodman.   
      
   "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," he said.   
      
   "Fearing that bystanders’ or the officers’ lives were in danger,   
   one of the officers fired his gun, striking Adams."   
      
   Body camera video released by police appears to show an officer   
   running toward Adams, who is running from the officers but   
   cannot go any further because he is blocked by a building. In   
   the clip, the officer fires at Adams, who falls to the ground.   
      
   It is not clear how many times he was shot.   
      
   The video shows the officer, with his gun still drawn,   
   approaching Adams.   
      
   "Hey bro, you're going to be OK, man ... Stay with me, OK?" the   
   officer is heard saying in the clip.   
      
   Goodman said officers provided Adams with medical aid, but he   
   died at a nearby hospital.   
      
   But another attorney representing the family, Chris O’Neal,   
   disputed the police narrative that Adams was given immediate   
   help.   
      
   "This man was running away and was shot in the back multiple   
   times," O'Neal said. "He was not given the decency and courtesy   
   of emergency medical care in a timely fashion."   
      
   A 9mm Taurus G3c with one round in the chamber and 10 rounds in   
   the magazine was recovered at the scene, Goodman said. The other   
   man who was with Adams was taken into custody and released.   
      
   He and other witnesses told investigators that Adams did not   
   respond to verbal commands to drop the gun from the two   
   officers, police said.   
      
   Goodman said Adams was a suspect in a previous armed robbery at   
   the location where he was shot. And he "was on felony probation   
   for armed robbery, and had felony warrants for assault with a   
   deadly weapon, possession of stolen property, and robbery,"   
   according to the chief.   
      
   The San Bernardino Police Department is conducting an   
   investigation into the fatal shooting, while the San Bernardino   
   District Attorney's office is conducting a separate but parallel   
   investigation, Goodman said.
