Black man fatally shot by El Cajon Police was unarmed, pointing e-cigarette

‘An “erratically” behaving black man, fatally shot by El Cajon Police after he refused to comply with orders, was actually pointing a 4-inch-long e-cigarette at police, it has been revealed.
The man, thought to be mentally ill, was later identified as Alfred Olango, a 38-year-old refugee from Uganda with a US felony record of drug and weapon offenses.
Police killed Olango a minute after arriving at the scene to check out a report of a mentally unstable person “not acting like himself” and walking in and out of traffic. According to police, the man refused to comply with “multiple instructions” from the first officer on the scene to remove his “concealed hand” from his pants pocket. The second officer who arrived on the scene “immediately prepared to deploy a less-lethal electronic control device while the other officer covered,” police said.’
