SAN DIEGO (May 22, 2003 1:31 p.m. EDT) - A report criticizing two police officers in the 1999 shooting death of former NFL linebacker Demetrius DuBose was declared "overturned" and will be removed from personnel records.
The city Civil Service Commission discredited the May 2000 report by the Citizens' Review Board on Police Practices on Wednesday after the board failed to justify its findings.
The report indicated San Diego officers Tim Keating and Robert Wills agitated DuBose when they tried to handcuff him during a burglary investigation, although he had not been resisting arrest. After a pursuit, DuBose was shot 12 times, including five times in his back.
