Questions
linger
in

The
shooting
of
Senior
Airman
Elio
Carrion
Mariela
Carrion
said
during
a
television
interview
about
a
week
after
the
Jan.
29
shooting
that
her
husband,
Air
Force
Senior
Airman
Elio
Carrion,
was
kicked,
handcuffed
and
dragged
after
he
was
shot
three
times
by
San
Bernardino
County
Sheriff's
Deputy
Ivory
John
Webb.
But
the
cameraman,
Jose
Luis
Valdes,
said
in
an
interview
at
his
home
Monday
that
he
saw
the
airman
kicked
in
the
face
before
the
shooting
and
dragged
afterward.
It
was
the
kicking
that
prompted
him
to
grab
his
camera,
Valdes
said.
San
Bernardino
County
Sheriff
Gary
Penrod,
during
a
news
conference
Feb.
10,
said
there
was
nothing
to
substantiate
either
claim.

Alleged
retaliation
against
cameraman,
Jose
Luis
Valdes
There
also
is
confusion
and
uncertainty
in
Valdes'
interaction
with
law
enforcement
after
the
shooting.
A
day
after
the
incident,
his
attorney,
Luis
Carrillo,
said
Valdes
was
pulled
over
by
police
three
times
within
hours
of
turning
over
the
tape
to
the
sheriff's
department.
Valdes
said
he
surreptitiously
made
a
copy
of
the
tape
while
a
dozen
deputies
watched
the
video
in
his
living
room.
Valdes
said
deputies
did
stop
him
when
he
drove
in
and
out
of
the
shooting
scene,
which
is
near
his
home,
but
he
was
not
actually
pulled
over
outside
of
the
police
tape.
The
third
time
he
was
stopped,
a
deputy
searched
his
car
after
he
was
caught
trying
to
sneak
a
television
reporter
into
his
house
by
claiming
she
was
his
daughter,
he
said.
The
search
turned
up
nothing
and
the
deputy
let
him
go.
"I
didn't
put
the
video
in
my
car.
I
was
really
scared,"
Valdes
said.
He
claims
police
also
have
sat
outside
taking
pictures
of
his
home
since
the
shooting.
But
those
incidents
caused
less
frustration
than
the
day
he
went
to
renew
his
green
card
at a
federal
immigration
office
in
Pomona.
A
background
check
at
the
office
revealed
a
Florida
arrest
warrant
had
been
issued
against
Valdes
by
Miami-Dade
County
authorities.
Valdes
flew
to
Florida
to
face
the
aggravated
assault
charge.
At
Los
Angeles
International
Airport,
he
was
confronted
by
two
FBI
agents
who
interviewed
him
about
what
happened
Jan.
29,
he
said.
And
upon
his
return,
he
says
his
wife
and
daughter
were
pulled
over
by
police.
He
does
not
know
if
the
stop
was
related
to
the
shooting
or
if
it
was
coincidence.
He
says
his
arrest
has
already
cost
him
roughly
$10,000
between
travel
expenses
and
lost
business
because
he
had
to
close
his
El
Monte
auto
dealership
while
he
was
away.
Among
the
numerous
elements
of
the
case
being
reviewed
by
prosecutors
is
the
chase
that
led
to
the
shooting.
And
it
is
another
element
for
which
few
details
have
been
released.

Airman
Elio
Carrion's
Shooting
Case
Goes
to
District
Attorney
The
San
Bernadino
sheriff's
department
sent
results
of
an
investigation
into
the
videotaped
shooting
of
an
unarmed
Air
Force
security
officer
to
prosecutors
Friday,
without
a
recommendation
on
whether
to
file
charges
against
the
deputy
involved.
Sheriff
Gary
Penrod
said
the
videotape
"arouses
a
lot
of
suspicion"
about
what
occurred,
but
he
also
said
the
tape
is
fuzzy
and
has
gaps,
so
the
complete
chain
of
events
is
unclear.
