The Contra Costa County district attorney filed charges against Sheriff's Deputy Andrew Hall on Wednesday for the fatal shooting of 33-year-old Laudemer Arboleda of Newark in 2018.

Hall was charged with voluntary manslaughter and assault for killing the unarmed Arboleda during a chase. In a video released by the Sheriff's office, Hall fires at Arboleda as he drives towards him, and shoots him repeatedly as he drives past him.

As the charges came in, Hall was on administrative leave for a separate fatal police shooting in March 2021, where he shot and killed Tyrell Wilson, a homeless Black man.

Hall and the city of Danville are the subject of a civil lawsuit due to that shooting.
