Family members said Olango had mental health issues, according to reports. 。 Given his mental state, questions have been raised as to why officers were not accompanied by a Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT). In the statement, the police department said it had a PERT clinician with a police officer at the time, but they were on another call and not available. 。The shooting has provoked protests in El Cajon, which is around 15 miles northeast of San Diego. Demonstrators yelled "no justice, no peace," and "black lives matter" as they marched. 。

El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells has promised a full investigation, according to the 。Los Angeles Times 。
. 。
"The most important thing to take away from this meeting today is a tragedy occurred in El Cajon yesterday," Wells said Wednesday at a press conference. "Nobody wants to see the loss of a life." 。
El Cajon police do not currently carry body cameras, police said. Video of the incident was collected from a witness who recorded it on their cellphone, but it's not clear if and when this will become available. 。

Police have released only one photo still of the incident, and Olango's family has demanded the whole video be made public. 。
"They're cherry-picking part of the video ... This is exactly what police have said is unfair when only portions of video are released against them," Olango family attorney Dan Gilleon said. 。
