Lawsuit claims failure to implement foot-chase policy leaves city, police responsible for death of Anthony Alvarez

Alvarez was shot while moving away from Evan Solano, the officer pursuing him, who was yelling at him to “drop the gun,” a video of the shooting released last year showed. Solano fired shots, and footage shows Alvarez drop a pistol as he fell to the ground. He was shot in the back and thigh, an autopsy later revealed.
