The family of a mentally ill man who was shot nine times by a California law enforcement officer has been awarded $4.9 million dollars nearly three years after the fatal shooting, which took place in the wealthy San Francisco suburb of Danville.

Danville contracts with the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office to provide police services. Officer Andrew Hall was convicted in October of 2021 of felony assault with a firearm in Laudemer Arboleda’s death. This was the first guilty verdict of felony assault by an officer in Contra Costa County, a county just east of San Francisco. Hall faces up to 17 years in prison.
