On a fateful day in January, a dramatic shooting incident unfolded in the Country Club Crest neighborhood of Vallejo. The Napa County District Attorney’s Office recently released surveillance footage of the incident, shedding light on the events that transpired on that day.
Details of the Shooting
The incident involved American Canyon police officer Joshua Coleman, who was captured shooting a fleeing suspect in the back as he appeared to be disposing of his weapons. The suspect, identified as 18-year-old Demarea Vaughn Rogers III, was seen throwing a gun away as he ran from Officer Coleman.
As the pursuit unfolded, Officer Coleman can be heard on the footage commanding Rogers to drop the gun or face the consequences. In a tense moment, Coleman fired two shots, causing another gun to fly from Rogers’ hand into a nearby front yard.

The shooting occurred after officers attempted to pull over a tan Lexus for a vehicle code violation near state Highway 29 and American Canyon Road. The pursuit continued until the car crashed into a fence, prompting multiple individuals to flee from the vehicle.
Officer Coleman and his colleague, Officer Cassaundra Fallon, chased after the suspects, leading to a dramatic confrontation. Coleman radioed “shots fired” as the situation escalated, highlighting the intensity of the moment.
Response and Aftermath
Following the shooting, Officer Coleman can be seen in body camera footage attempting to render aid to Rogers, who pleaded for help and expressed a desire to see his mother. The video captured a poignant exchange between the two individuals, revealing the human side of a tragic event.
It was later revealed that this was not the first shooting involving Officer Coleman, who has been involved in a total of five shootings during his law enforcement career.
