Calif. 911 caller pleads guilty to making false report that led to fatal police shooting
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A California man who made a 911 call that ended with Pasadena police fatally shooting a college student has pleaded guilty to making a false report.
Oscar Carrillo was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty Monday to two misdemeanor false reporting charges.
Carrillo told a dispatcher last year that he was robbed at gunpoint by two young men. He mentioned a gun eight times during the 911 call.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Responding officers shot 19-year-old Kendrec McDade, who was unarmed.
Carrillo later acknowledged he lied about guns to get a faster police response.
Carrillo was arrested for investigation of involuntary manslaughter, but prosecutors declined to charge him with that.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Besides going to jail, Carrillo will also perform 90 days of community service and pay $3,000 to Pasadena police.
