The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office has filed charges of voluntary manslaughter against Stanislaus County sheriff’s Deputy Justin Wall in the February 2017 shooting of Evin Olsen Yadegar, a Modesto woman.
Yadegar, 46, was shot by Wall in Ripon after a law-enforcement pursuit that began in Salida. Authorities have said she was shot after she did not respond to commands to exit her vehicle and then put it in reverse, driving toward two deputies and a Ripon police officer.
A news release Monday from the San Joaquin District Attorney’s Office makes no mention of Yadegar endangering any officers or deputies with her Volkswagen sedan. It says that Yadegar stopped her car for “several moments” in a neighborhood off Main Street. As authorities were trying to get her to exit her car, “she drove off again,” the DA’s release says. “At that time, Wall fired four shots at Mrs. Yadegar. None of the other officers at the scene fired their weapons.”
Apparently, just one of Wall’s rounds struck Yadegar: She “was pronounced dead when she arrived at the hospital. Mrs. Yadegar had succumbed to a single fatal wound,” the news release says.

He shot her for defying his authoritah. Contempt of Cop.
If it weren’t for the dash cam this murdering POS with a badge would have got away with it, too.
The other noteworthy thing here is that this “killing by cop,” took place in February of 2017. That’s nearly a year and a half ago. Can you imagine it taking the DA’s office that long to charge a citizen in the same circumstance? Just asking! And would the offense charged be “voluntary manslaughter,” or would it be at least 2nd degree Murder?
