Deputies from Homeless Outreach Team Fatally Shoot Black Homeless Man During Struggle Over Jaywalking Accusations

Deputies from Homeless Outreach Team Fatally Shoot Black Homeless Man During Struggle Over Jaywalking Accusations: An investigation is underway after a homeless Black man was fatally shot Wednesday during a struggle with two Orange County deputies.

On Sept. 23, just after 1 p.m., two Orange County deputies of the department’s Homeless Outreach Team made contact with 42-year-old Kurt Andreas Reinhold near Hotel Miramar in San Clemente, California.

OCSD Sgt. Dennis Breckner said that after “an altercation broke out,” two shots were fired. It was not made immediately clear if one or both deputies fired their weapon, but authorities later said one deputy fired his gun.

The deputies performed life-saving measures, but Reinhold was pronounced dead on the scene.
