LOS ANGELES — A La Habra, California, police officer who shot and killed a man outside the city's police station last year was justified in using deadly force, prosecutors said, releasing video of the deadly gunfight.
The Orange County district attorney's office found "no evidence of criminal culpability" for Officer Abigail Fox, according to a Nov. 18 letter from prosecutors to Police Chief Adam Foster, which was released Monday.
The shooting occurred Aug. 6, 2021, after a woman who was being followed by another driver called 911 and drove to the police station. She was on the northbound 5 Freeway around 6:25 p.m. when a dark blue 1998 Toyota Camry started tailgating her, following her each time she changed lanes and onto the 57 Freeway.
