The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office recently concluded an investigation that determined sheriff's deputies were justified in the 2020 fatal shooting of a domestic violence suspect.
The investigation found that deadly force was justified given the circumstances in which deputies shot and killed Eduardo Martinez. The statement reports that no further action will be taken by District Attorney Diana Becton.
Deputies arrived and, over a standoff lasting nine hours, tried to get him to surrender peacefully. Prosecutors said that Martinez was unresponsive and, at times, threatened suicide.
