## Resource

In a heartbreaking case that’s sparking national outcry, attorneys for the family of 15-year-old Jaden Michaca allege that Santa Ana police acted recklessly and failed to de-escalate during a mental health crisis, leading to his fatal shooting. Jaden, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, had a history of police interactions successfully managed with mental health support — this time, the family says, officers opened fire without warning, ignoring his non-violent state. His mother, present during the incident, was grazed by a bullet. Police claim Jaden resisted commands to drop a knife, but the family insists he posed no threat. They’re demanding accountability for what they call a preventable tragedy, honoring a young life cut short — a boy who loved collecting Pokemon. The investigation continues.
