San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin said Monday a grand jury has indicted San Francisco police Officer Christopher Flores along with Jamaica Hampton in connection with a 2019 shooting.
On Dec. 7, 2019, Flores fired his weapon at Hampton while on-duty and responding to a burglary report in the city’s Mission District. Hampton, allegedly armed with a glass bottle, was critically injured but survived the shooting.
According to Boudin, his office has asked for a small bail amount in each case and is not seeking pretrial detention. Additionally, Boudin is asking the two to voluntarily surrender. Once they’ve surrendered, Boudin said he’d provide more information.
The grand jury indictment indicates there’s probable cause to believe each committed crimes in the case.
The indictment against Flores becomes the second case against a San Francisco police officer involved in a shooting. Just two weeks ago, Boudin announced his office filed manslaughter charges against former Police Officer Christopher Samoyoa, who fatally shot unarmed Keita O’Neal, 42, in the city’s Bayview District in 2017.
