The officer involved in the fatal shooting of Hector Morejon, an unarmed 19-year-old, last month has been reassigned to a position away from the field. The reassignment will last for the duration of the department’s investigation into the officer-involved shooting, said Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Megan Zabel late Wednesday. The officer’s identity and other information is not known at this time. The Press-Telegram is awaiting the department’s response to a records request filed last month for the officer’s name and other information about the April 23 shooting of Morejon by an officer responding to a trespassing and vandalizing call about 2:45 p.m. Police said in a statement that the officer saw Morejon turn toward him, extending his arm out as if pointing an object, which the officer perceived as a gun. The officer then fired, according to police. The shooting will be reviewed by the Long Beach Police Department in a process that could take several months, according to Deputy Chief David Hendricks in an interview shortly after the shooting. In addition, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and the Coroner’s Office also will conduct independent investigations. At the time of the shooting, two officers were at the scene, Hendricks said in the previous interview. The officer who fired was not able to give a verbal warning before shooting, Hendricks said.
