LOS ANGELES (AP) - Southern California police shot and killed a Black man Saturday as he ran away from them while allegedly holding a gun, video showed.

The family of 23-year-old Rob Adams, however, says he was likely holding his cellphone instead of a gun because he had been talking to his mother when police arrived.
His family expects to file a legal claim, a precursor to a lawsuit, on Thursday.

"All I heard after that was gunshots. He never told me goodbye," his mother, Tamika Deavila King, said Wednesday at a news conference.

San Bernardino police say that officers were called to a parking lot around 8 p.m.

Saturday after getting a tip that a Black man was walking around with a gun.

Two officers, who were wearing uniforms but driving an unmarked car, saw Adams pull a gun out of his waistband and begin walking toward the cruiser with the firearm in his hand, according to San Bernardino Police Chief Darren Goodman.
