What happened
Dante Osborne, 32, was killed by Alameda County sheriff's deputies near San Leandro, California, on September 22, 2015. Deputies said they attempted to stop a vehicle linked to an earlier East Oakland shooting; Osborne fled on Interstate 580, abandoned the vehicle and allegedly attempted to carjack another driver. California Highway Patrol officers said he fired at them, striking a passing car. The pursuit continued toward Interstate 238, where deputies reported an exchange of gunfire that killed Osborne. No officers were injured. Subsequent reporting on police-personnel records identified deputies involved in the shooting. Osborne's alleged actions are law-enforcement claims; the reviewed accounts do not independently adjudicate each shot.
