Bakersfield, CA — At 12:30 am on Monday morning, Bakersfield police shot and killed 73-year-old Francisco Serna as he stood in his driveway. Immediately following the shooting, police released details noting that Serna was killed for ‘brandishing a gun.’ However, early Tuesday morning, we’ve now learned that there was never a gun and police fabricated that vital piece of information.
When police arrived on scene, they fired multiple shots at Serna, hitting and killing him.
According to Serna’s family, he was in the beginning stages of dementia and occasionally experienced delusions. Serna’s oldest son told the LA Times that Serna had difficulty sleeping and frequently went on late-night walks to tire himself out before bed.
Police were called to his home at least two times before because Serna had accidentally activated his medical alarm, Rogelia Serna said. However, those incidents were resolved without the need for any violence or charges.
Bakersfield police Sgt. Gary Carruesco did not confirm if police had ever responded to Serna’s residence before.
Police are remaining tight-lipped in this incident releasing very few details, including the actual reason for the call. It is not known whether police were responding to the medical alarm or not as the Bakersfield police have changed their story about the gun.
