Days ago, APD fired Deputy Commander Gustavo Gomez due to his involvement in the DWI Bribery Scandal. Gomez played a crucial role in determining whether officers should be held accountable for the shooting of Jesus Crosby and, under suspicious circumstances, Gomez reversed a finding that the shooting was unreasonable and unnecessary.
Now that we have learned that Deputy Commander Gomez was apparently involved in a corruption scandal, we sent the following letter to the City on behalf of Jesus’s family, asking for an investigation of Gomez’s role in APD’s accountability processes, including accountability for the shooting of Jesus.
