Despite the fact that Barrera did not have a gun or any other weapon on him, the LAPD presented a case for assault with a deadly weapon against him to the L.A. County district attorney's office, which prosecutors rejected.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore said areas of concern that arise from such shootings are addressed immediately with involved officers through preliminary briefings and trainings, but to reach public conclusions about officers' actions before the completion of the related investigation "would be contrary to our commitment to basing conclusions after reviewing all of the information provided."
