Stockton Police Fatally Shoot Armed 19-Year-Old During Foot Pursuit

Stockton police fatally shot 19-year-old Rocco Robinson after a confrontation during a proactive vehicle inspection near Doray Court and Pixie Drive. Robinson, found double-parked, resisted orders to stay in the vehicle, struggled with officers, and fled on foot, dropping a loaded handgun and high-capacity magazines. During the chase, Robinson ignored repeated commands and rearmed himself with the handgun, prompting officers to open fire. Officers immediately rendered medical aid before Robinson was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead; no officers were injured in the incident. The recovered firearm was a ghost gun without a serial number, loaded with one round in the chamber, alongside a 31-round extended magazine and a 17-round magazine. A multi-agency investigation is underway, with officers involved placed on paid administrative leave according to standard protocol for officer-involved shootings.
