San Francisco, CA -- On Friday, March 29th, attorneys Bradley Gage, Ben Crump and 3D Forensic CEO Jason Fries announced the official settlement of $4 million in the civil litigation suit against the City of San Bernardino involving the fatal shooting of Rob Adams. This case settlement closes one of the highest-profile officer-involved shootings in recent history to draw national attention to police practices.
3D Forensic, Inc. and CEO Jason C. Fries were retained to provide expert human factors analysis and a forensic use-of-force reconstruction by the plaintiff’s side. After analyzing the evidential footage and creating a 3D reconstruction of this incident, the firm distilled and contributed several significant conclusions.
In July of 2022, 23-year-old Rob Adams was in the parking lot of a gambling business in possession of a handgun when two San Bernardino police officers approached him from an unmarked vehicle. It is unclear whether they announced themselves as police when exiting their vehicle but pursued Mr. Adams with firearms drawn while Adams had turned to run away. By the end of this pursuit, Officer Michael Yeun had fired seven shots at Mr. Adams though he never faced him directly or pointed his weapon at the officer.
3D Forensic detailed this analysis in a reconstruction animation and report provided to Mr. Gage prior to this case’s mediation session, providing forensic support for Mr. Gage’s team as they negotiated this historic settlement. The firm commends Brad Gage Law APC as well as Ben Crump Law PLLC for their efforts to obtain justice for the Adams family.
