The Contra Costa District Attorney's Office on Friday said investigators determined the officer-involved shooting death of 66-year-old Kevin James McDonald in Point Richmond in June 2023 was justified. Richmond police shot and killed McDonald June 28, 2023, when he allegedly brandished a firearm while officers were entering a home to serve an arrest warrant. Police had received a report about a person at the home brandishing and firing a weapon the previous weekend in Point Richmond .

The DA's office said Friday police announced their presence and purpose upon arrival. After receiving no answer, they entered the house. During the search, officers approached a closed bedroom door and announced themselves again before opening it. They found McDonald seated inside, armed with a loaded assault rifle. He allegedly raised the weapon toward the officers, two of whom fired at McDonald in self-defense. McDonald was pronounced dead at the scene.
