Tyrell Wilson, the 32-year-old man shot by a police officer in Danville last week, has died at the hospital from his wounds, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office announced late Wednesday afternoon.
Officer Andrew Hall shot Wilson last Thursday at the intersection of Sycamore Valley Road and Camino Ramon after the transient allegedly advanced knife-in-hand toward the officer who was responding to a report that Wilson was throwing rocks from an overpass onto Interstate 680.
“The Office of the Sheriff recognizes the impact an event like this can have on the community and is committed to full transparency of all the facts. Sheriff’s investigators continue to work with the District Attorney’s Office on investigating this incident pursuant to the countywide law enforcement involved fatal incident protocol,” sheriff’s officials said in a statement Wednesday
Hall, who has been placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation, has worked the past 7-1/2 years as a law enforcement officer. He is employed as a sheriff’s deputy assigned to the Danville Police Department under the town’s contract with the county sheriff’s office for police services.
Hall is the same Danville police officer who fatally shot 33-year-old Newark resident Laudemer Arboleda at close range while Arboleda tried to drive around police vehicles trying to block his path in downtown Danville on Nov. 3, 2018.
