What happened
Moises Nero was killed by police in Sunnyvale, California, on November 12, 2015. National fatal-police-shooting records establish the entry, date and city, but do not independently describe the original contact or a final departmental or judicial outcome. In particular, the number of officers involved, any reported weapon, the warnings officers say they issued, witness accounts and the conclusion of the investigation require local records. This story records the confirmed death and does not invent those details from general patterns seen in unrelated police shootings. The incident should receive additional reporting before a more specific account of alleged actions or legal responsibility is published.
