Two Hayward police officers who used deadly force against a man in 2018 cannot be held criminally liable for their actions, found the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office Public Accountability Unit after re-reviewing the case that had been previously considered by the prior administration, according to a news release from Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. The PAU found that Hayward Police Officers Phillip Wooley and Michael Clark, who fatally shot Agustin Gonsalez on Nov. 15, 2018, could not be held criminally liable because the prosecution could not prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the shots fired were not in self-defense, according to the news release. This was one of six police shooting cases Price slated for reconsideration by her newly-formed PAU shortly after taking office in 2023. Last month, an Alameda County judge threw out involuntary manslaughter charges against two of three officers accused in the death of Mario Gonzalez in 2021, the only other case of the six that has been reinvestigated. Price filed charges against the officers in April after they had initially been cleared of wrongdoing by Price’s predecessor. Around 9:19
