SAN JOSE, California - On March 27, 2022, San Jose Police shot K'aun Green, who emerged from La Victoria Taqueria restaurant holding a gun. At the time of the shooting, police believed the brawl inside the restaurant was related to a prior homicide in which the gunman was still at large. When Green emerged from the restaurant holding a gun after disarming a man who had wielded it in the restaurant, Officer Mark McNamara opened fire after police said he did not immediately comply with officers' orders to drop the weapon.

Surveillance video from the restaurant showed a violent and chaotic situation inside the restaurant between two groups of men. One man appeared to start a fight with Green until Green is seen taking him to the ground and delivering a series of punches to his head.

The bodycam footage shows what the officers were seeing as they walked up to the restaurant's entrance. Green was holding the gun he had wrested away in his left hand and was backing out of restaurant as officers arrived, still fending off two people trying to take the gun from him.

Officers are heard giving orders to drop the gun, & the video shows Green turning to look toward officers just before McNamara opens fire. Green was hit twice in his left arm, once in his left knee, and once in his abdomen.

The person who originally brought the weapon to the restaurant, 30-year-old Bryan Carter of East Palo Alto, was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
