Shocking Video Shows Fatal Police Shooting of Ex-Sheriff After Son's Murder

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office has released video footage of the fatal pursuit and shooting of former assistant sheriff Marvin Morales, who had previously stabbed his 11-year-old son to death. The video shows the chase and Morales' refusal to comply with police orders to exit his vehicle, leading to him being shot and killed. Morales had been fired from the police force in February 2024 following an incident involving a fentanyl overdose at the police station. Police had discovered that weapons registered to Morales were missing from his home.
