* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) San Leandro, California — On May 7, 2026, just after 8 p.m., San Leandro Police dispatch received a call on a non-emergency line from an out-of-state caller. The caller identified his friend as 39-year-old David McAlpin and said his attempts to call him back went straight to voicemail. San Leandro Police officers responded to McAlpin's Santiago Road residence to conduct a welfare check and made contact with his family. His family was unaware of the concerns relayed to dispatch by his friend in Texas and did not know McAlpin's whereabouts. McAlpin's family made contact with him but were unsuccessful in convincing him to return home. Ultimately, officer Qiu was able to speak with McAlpin by phone. During a lengthy conversation, officer Qiu was able to convince McAlpin to share his location so officers could meet with him in person. Officer Qiu informed McAlpin that he and additional officers would respond to his location at the San Leandro Marina. Officers had received information that McAlpin owned a firearm, but he denied being armed. Officer Qiu spoke with McAlpin for approximately ten minutes. As officer Qiu began to open the driver's door, McAlpin reached for an object. Officer Caleb Schwitters, who was positioned near the windshield, ordered McAlpin to stop reaching. McAlpin then produced a firearm, and officers Schwitters, Navarro, and Martinez discharged their service weapons. All three officers who discharged their service weapons were recording with their body-worn cameras. None of the officers' cameras clearly captured McAlpin as he produced the firearm. Approximately 50 seconds after officers discharged their service weapons, another gunshot is heard. Investigators later determined the shot was fired by McAlpin. Following the officer-involved shooting, McAlpin remained armed and unresponsive to commands. Officers were unable to safely approach him until additional resources arrived. Emergency medical personnel treated McAlpin at the scene, but he was pronounced dead. Investigators recovered a firearm from the vehicle. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'HauntSync.com' - Cor Hakels - Christopher Tramm - 'Rate A Creator with Omar Alkahlout' - 'Forever A Loner' - KHALID - Michael Griffin - John Doe - 'Twitchypowpow' - Lillian Daley - Tyrell Robertson - christine Grinter - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - Gary Wilson - LJ - Brianna Wilkins - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Sarin Dipity - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Be
