Around 10:30pm February 9, 2019, McCoy, fatigued after returning from tour and spending the day recording music, fell asleep in his car with the engine running, at the drive-thru of Taco Bell in Vallejo, California. A Taco Bell employee called 911, informing the dispatcher that McCoy (who was not identified by name at this point) was unresponsive to people knocking on the car's window or honking their car horns. Six police officers arrived, and activated their bodycams. ·The six officers fired 12-25 rounds at McCoy over approximately four seconds, before again telling McCoy to put up his hands.
·Both offers McMahon were involved in a separate controversial incidents. McMahon shooting last year and officer Thomson was named in another excessive force complaint in 2018
After the shooting, it was later learned McCoy had a criminal history and the gun -- which had an extended magazine -- had been stolen.
Family members accuse the police of racial profiling. They spoke to reporters hours after the video was publicly released.
"I'm glad the video was released so everyone can see it," said Dave Harrison, McCoy's older cousin. "Willie was a sitting duck in that car. He was asleep."
Vallejo police denied multiple interview requests by 2 Investigates. In a statement, police officials said: "This is our first time releasing video in this fashion and it is our hope that we can provide sufficient context for the community to understand the facts of this case."
