LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Two former Los Angeles-area police detectives have been charged in the 2020 shooting of an unarmed man that left him paralyzed from the waist down, the district attorney said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Former Whittier detectives Cynthia Lopez and Salvador Murillo opened fire on April 30, 2020, as Nicholas Carrillo ran from them. Two bullets struck him in the back \u2014 one severing his spinal cord \u2014 as he climbed a fence to escape.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough he was lucky to survive, his life was forever changed and he must now begin using a wheelchair,\u201d Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n said Wednesday during a news<\/a> conference.<\/p>\n

Murillo is charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and two counts of assault under color of authority. Lopez faces two counts of assault under color of authority, one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle and one count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Prosecutors filed the charges Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The detectives were in plainclothes and in an unmarked car when they spotted a sedan that had been supposedly used during an unarmed robbery the month before, Gasc\u00f3n said. A woman was the suspect in that robbery at a Walmart, where a television was stolen. Carrillo was alone in the car on the day he was shot.<\/p>\n

The detectives followed the sedan into an alley, and emerged from their vehicle with their guns drawn. The sedan reversed and collided with the detectives\u2019 car, Gasc\u00f3n said.<\/p>\n

Lopez fired into the sedan\u2019s rear windshield, prosecutors said. Carrillo then ran from the car and Lopez and Murillo opened fire as they chased him. He was not armed.<\/p>\n

They are expected to be arraigned Monday. Attempts to reach their attorneys were not immedia<\/a>tely successful Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The detectives are no longer employed by the Whittier Police Department, which directed media inquiries to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Whittier Police Department, which is committed to responsible and accountable policing, will provide assistance to the District Attorney\u2019s Office as needed,\u201d Whittier Police Chief Aviv Bar said in a statement after the charges were announced.<\/p>\n

The Whittier Police Officers\u2019 Association, the union that represents the department\u2019s rank-and-file officers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Whittier is about 15 miles (24 kilometers) southeast of downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The Whittier case comes two weeks after Gasc\u00f3n’s office charged seven California Highway Patrol officers<\/a> and a nurse with involuntary manslaughter in the 2020 death of a man who screamed \u201cI can\u2019t breathe\u201d while multiple officers restrained him as they tried to take a blood sample.<\/p>\n
