Ms. Walker continued, <i>&#8220;<\/i><i>Ms. Gaeta was not intoxicated. She was experiencing a mental health crisis. Her family is shocked she would be involved in any altercation with police let alone be killed by the police.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The complaint states in part, &#8220;Instead of holding his position and waiting for additional officers to arrive on scene from the safety of his police cruiser, Defendant RIBERA unreasonably exited his vehicle and unnecessarily drew his service weapon, a show of force disproportionate to the seriousness of the alleged crime(s) in progress, leaving the scene of a minor traffic accident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;The excessive use of deadly force against Ms. Gaeta is simply egregious. It seems clear when reviewing the officer&#8217;s body cam and dashboard cam footage that the use of deadly force against Tracy Gaeta was intentional, excessive, and objectively unreasonable under the circumstances reflected in the video. This is another example of race playing a major role in the use of deadly force against minorities,&#8221;<\/i> said <span class=\"xn-person\">Angelina Austin, Esq.<\/span> with <span class=\"xn-person\">Gwilliam Ivary Chiosso Cavalli<\/span> &amp; Brewer.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Officer Ribera unnecessarily escalated the situation, refused to wait a few minutes for backup and he exited his cruiser, then intentionally aimed, and fired approximately 33 rounds at Tracy Gaeta in a shocking show of excessive lethal force,&#8221;<\/i> said <span class=\"xn-person\">Gary Gwilliam, Esq<\/span>, with <span class=\"xn-person\">Gwilliam Ivary Chiosso Cavalli<\/span> &amp; Brewer, the Law Firm retained by the family of Tracy Gaeta.<\/p>\n<p>CONTACTS: <span class=\"xn-person\">Gary Gwilliam<\/span> <a href=\"mailto:ggwilliam@giccb.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">ggwilliam@giccb.com<\/a> , <span class=\"xn-person\">Jayme Walker<\/span> <a href=\"mailto:jwalker@giccb.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">jwalker@giccb.com<\/a> and <span class=\"xn-person\">Angelina Austin<\/span> <a href=\"mailto:aaustin@giccb.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">aaustin@giccb.com<\/a> through email or by calling 510-832-5411<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  The Law Firm of <span class=\"xn-person\">Gwilliam Ivary Chiosso Cavalli<\/span> &amp; Brewer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">STOCKTON, Calif.<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">Jan. 13, 2023<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; On the afternoon of <span class=\"xn-chron\">February 22, 2022<\/span>, following a minor traffic accident with an unidentified <span class=\"xn-location\">Stockton<\/span> Police Department officer, Ms. Gaeta was pursued to an isolated, rural area of <span class=\"xn-location\">Stockton, California<\/span>, where there were no witnesses to the tragic events that unfolded.
