Details emerge from Manteca officer-involved shooting fatality

MANTECA -- Police released more details Thursday about a confrontation involving an officer who shot to death a 34-year-old man reportedly carrying a weapon during a traffic stop the night before about two blocks north of East Yosemite Avenue.
Manteca police have not said what type of weapon the suspect was carrying.
Ernest Manuel Duenez Jr. was the man shot by police Wednesday night in the 200 block of Flores Avenue, according to officer Jason Hensley, a Manteca police spokesman. Duenez was taken by ambulance to Doctors Hospital of Manteca, where he was pronounced dead.
Hensley said the Manteca police officer involved in the shooting was not injured and has been with the department for 10 years. The department has not released his name.
The shooting occurred about 6:45 p.m. after the officer made the traffic stop. Hensley said Duenez was a passenger in the vehicle that was pulled over.
The vehicle was pulled over because the officer had knowledge that Duenez, a wanted parolee, was inside the vehicle and considered armed and dangerous.
Hensley said Duenez got out of the vehicle armed with a weapon and approached the officer. He said the officer, fearing for his life, responded with deadly force.
He said Duenez had prior convictions for burglary, statutory rape, possession of controlled substances, felony evading arrest, vehicle theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, assault with a deadly weapon and participating in a criminal street gang.
The department is investigating the shooting and will be submitting the case to the San Joaquin County district attorney's office for review to determine whether the shooting was justified.
This is the third officer-involved shooting in the Modesto area this year.

ok yeah, 13 shots may be OD
but he had the right to shoot him, it looked like he was reaching for something
agree 100%
but damn to shoot dude 13 times and then hover over him and watch him die??? guess they knew they were going to kill him once he didnt cooperate
What I cant believe is that they would REALLY handcuff dude after getting shot that many times. Cmon son.
Too many movies and too many video games and you young kids have absolutely no frame of reference for the value of human life. Sitting behind your computer screens deciding which murders are just or unjust like this is some fiction movie to be critiqued. Try to realize when a persons loved one is killed your narrow minded, shallow and unsympathetic opinions are of little relevance.
+1 i salute that, this was straight up murder, like to see what the same people would comment if this was civilian v civilian, pretty sure it would go down as murder, shoot to disarm, not shoot to kill, 13 squeezes, just count to thirteen quick out loud, talk about cowards, 1 in the leg would of been sufficient to diffuse the situation, now someone lost their daddy, a badge does not make it something other than what it was, murder. what if that was you or your father, brother, friend... b.s
If your implying one or two shots to the leg or knee wouldnt have put an end to the threat with out un due death, then id like to see you continue being an aggressive threat after taking them shots, i didnt see him with a firearm or them to retrieve one after man down, killing with out reason and with out consequences. donut1 in da leg
You can't be serious word to the "shoot out the tires" people
salutedid ya'll hear the cop say his name like 3 times before he shot? Im sure he ran the license plate but that was weird
Cop was a punk. You can hear it in his voice. 13 times.
And they still cuffed him and said "are we bringing him in" come on fam
