Crime

Riverside officers responding to a complaint call about a woman playing a loud radio were accosted by the woman's family. A son, Woodruff, shot one of the officers, Detective Doug Jacobs to death.

He was also charged and convicted of the the attempted murder of Police Officer Benjamin Baker. 

Police responded to a neighbor’s call that defendant’s mother, who lived in a two-unit house upstairs from defendant, was playing a loud radio outside, which had been a longstanding source of conflict. Because the mother refused to turn down the radio, officers began to arrest her. During the process, defendant, who had retrieved a gun from his house and was watching and listening from his porch, leaned into the outdoor stairwell leading up to the mother’s apartment, and, as observed by Officer Benjamin Baker and by a neighbor, fired up at the officers, killing Officer Douglas Jacobs. That evening, defendant admitted to the police that he shot Jacobs. At trial, however, he denied killing Jacobs, and he also presented evidence to contest the required mental state. The parties also presented contested evidence as to whether defendant had an intellectual disability and a brain injury.
