It should be easy to prove whether or not the man had a gun. If the man was unarmed, then the cop should be charged with murder. Hopefully the family of Jonathan Cuevas will get some justice, as all indications are that their loved one was executed in cold blood because he chose to run away.

Two years ago this October, LA County Sheriff's Deputy Julio Jove told three young men, including 20-year-old Jonathan Cuevas, to halt. They had been out partying and drinking, and they had just jaywalked. It was around 1:45 in the morning in Lynwood, California. When Deputy Jove told the three men to stop, Cuevas ran.
Then, Deputy Jove says Cuevas reached for a handgun at his waist, and pointed the weapon at him. So the Deputy reacted by shooting Cuevas multiple times.
The shooting was minor news at the time, Some small amount of clearly did not have the as two years have passed since the incident.
And, to be sure, the newly-released, frustratingly grainy and faraway surveillance footage from that night does not discount the claim of Cuevas pulling a gun. But what it does definitively show is that Jove fired multiple shots at Cuevas as he ran — saving the last one for when Cuevas had fallen on the ground. A WCSH6 Portland report says the autopsy Cuevas, bringing the total to at least four.
A gun was found at the scene, but Cuevas' family's attorney James Segall Gutierrez claims that it's suspicious because the young man's prints He also counts seven total shots fired by Deputy Jove in the footage.
Now the family of Cuevas is filing a $5 million wrongful death suit against the sheriff's department. Deputy Jove is been back on the force, working street patrol, since his actions were judged "within policy." The LA County District Attorney's office told Reason that they investigate every officer-involved shooting, as does each police department or country sheriff's office. More background on their methods of investigations can be found , including slightly unsettling details such as "All physical evidence shall remain in the custody of the police agency conducting the investigation."

Johnathan Cuevas, a 20-year-old Latino, was killed by a sheriff's deputy Sunday, Oct. 10, near Long Beach Boulevard and Josephine Street in Lynwood, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
The incident occurred about 12:30 a.m. when a lone deputy approached three men. One of the men, later identified by the coroner's office as Johnathan Cuevas, allegedly reached into his waistband as he started to run. Seeing this, the deputy fired several times, striking Cuevas, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Luis Castro.
Cuevas was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A handgun was recovered at the scene, Castro said.

The youth runs away with a gun tucked in his waistband in L.A.

Nothing good was going happen to him once he made that decision to run.

I tried Google and can't find the answer. I've heard that before but could it be just a myth?.
