"Why couldn't you guys tase him? Why, why, why, why? I told you he was sick," she cried. 。

It took police more than an hour to respond to her request because of other calls, Lt. Rob Ransweiler of the El Cajon Police Department said, and Olango was shot about one minute later.

Family members said Olango had mental health issues, according to reports.。 Given his mental state, questions have been raised as to why officers were not accompanied by a Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT). In the statement, the police department said it had a PERT clinician with a police officer at the time, but they were on another call and not available. 。The shooting has provoked protests in El Cajon, which is around 15 miles northeast of San Diego. Demonstrators yelled "no justice, no peace," and "black lives matter" as they marched. 。

El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells has promised a full investigation, according to the。

Los Angeles Times
。

. 。

"The most important thing to take away from this meeting today is a tragedy occurred in El Cajon yesterday," Wells said Wednesday at a press conference. "Nobody wants to see the loss of a life."。

El Cajon police do not currently carry body cameras, police said. Video of the incident was collected from a witness who recorded it on their cellphone, but it's not clear if and when this will become available. 。

Police have released only one photo still of the incident, and Olango's family has demanded the whole video be made public.。

"They're cherry-picking part of the video ... This is exactly what police have said is unfair when only portions of video are released against them," Olango family attorney Dan Gilleon said.。

The shooting of Olango comes soon after the deaths of Keith Lamont Scott in North Carolina and Terence Crutcher in Oklahoma at the hands of police.。"I saw a man who was distraught, a man who was acting out like he was in great pain. I saw him get gunned down and killed. If it was my son, I would be devastated," Wells said when asked how he would feel if it was his child who had been shot.。Tweet may have been deleted。Tweet may have been deleted。The Associated Press contributed reporting.。TopicsBlack Lives Matter。
