Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: San Diego, California — On August 15, 2023, at 1:23 a.m., San Diego Police dispatch received a 911 call from a motorist who said he had been followed and shot at by the occupants of a white Tesla. The victim was uninjured. The two men in the white Tesla fled the scene. A camera captured the moment that two men in a white Tesla fired at the victim on ben street. The Tesla came to a stop in front of the victim's car. As the victim drove around the Tesla, the driver and passenger fired shots at the victim. One occupant of the white Tesla was 33-year-old Benjamin Pickens.
Pickens was located later that same morning on the campus of Mesa College, where an officer-involved shooting occurred. During the incident, Pickens shot and killed a San Diego Police K9. Pickens later died at the Hospital. The second occupant of the white Tesla, who also fired shots at the victim on Ben street, was not located that morning. Investigators later identified the second occupant of the white Tesla as 31-year-old Xavier Benjamine Lacosta. Investigators obtained a warrant to arrest Lacosta and search his home. On august 15, at 6:45 p.m., San Diego Police detectives were serving a warrant at an apartment complex in the 6100 block of El Cajon Boulevard. A third-floor apartment in the building was identified as Lacosta's residence. SDPD detectives set up a perimeter on the apartment building. Detectives made phone calls inside to the apartment, did call-outs directly outside of the apartment, and gave verbal commands and warnings for Lacosta to exit the apartment with his hands empty. Lacosta exited the apartment holding a firearm. Officers gave commands for him to drop the gun, and he complied by tossing the firearm at his feet. Officers commanded Lacosta to put his hands above his head. Suddenly, Lacosta lunged for the firearm and an officer-involved shooting occurred. Officers provided medical aid until the arrival of paramedics. Lacosta was pronounced deceased at the scene. Lacosta's firearm was recovered. It was determined to be a ghost gun. It was loaded with a round in the chamber. |

This work was created by a government unit (including state, county, city, and municipal government agencies) that derives its powers from the laws of the State of California and is subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.). It is a public record that was not created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright, and is therefore in the public domain in the United States.
Records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.) "Public records" include "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics." (Cal. Gov't. Code § 6252(e).) notes that "[a]ll public records are subject to disclosure unless the Public Records Act expressly provides otherwise." County of Santa Clara v. CFAC California Government Code § 6254 lists categories of documents not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. In addition, computer software is not considered a public record, while data and statistics collected (whether collected knowingly or unknowingly) by a government authority whose powers derive from the laws of California are public records (such as license plate reader images) pursuant to EFF & ACLU of Southern California v. Los Angeles Police Department & Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and are not exempt from disclosure and are public records. Although the act only covers “writing,” the Act, pursuant to Government Code § 6252(g), states: “Writing” means any handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored. Agencies permitted to claim copyright
California's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted outside of the United States without clear evidence to the contrary:
County of Santa Clara v. CFAC held that the State of California, or any government entity which derives its power from the State, cannot enforce a copyright in any record subject to the Public Records Act in the absence of another state statute giving it the authority to do so. This applies even if there is a copyright notice, so long as the State of California or one of its agencies (other than those listed above) is indicated as the copyright holder. Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may have to be released by such agency since they are public records, their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to these images unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See: Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?. Copyrightable Works by the State in the United States: Works published by agencies that are permitted to claim copyright per state law should be tagged with {{PD-US-GovEdict}} instead of this template due to the reasons listed on that template.
