A San Francisco Bay-area musician was killed in an officer-involved shooting at a Taco Bell drive-thru on Saturday, police say.

Willie McCoy, a rapper from Vallejo, may have been asleep when police approached him, CBS reported on Sunday. The victim’s family are criticizing officers’ handling of the incident.

According to the Vallejo Police Department, the shooting happened after deputies were called to a Taco Bell restaurant on Admiral Callaghan Lane at approximately 10:36 p.m. Saturday.

A staff member complained that a silver Mercedes had been parked at the drive-thru and the driver was “slumped over in the driver's seat,” police said, adding that deputies had been sent to the scene to check on the driver. The first responders were not named in the media release.

The department said the driver was not responding as they approached and had a handgun on his lap. Officials said the car had been locked and its transmission was in drive.

It was at this point the situation turned deadly, the police account claims.

A statement of events read: “The driver...of the vehicle suddenly began to move.

The officers told the driver to keep his hands visible, however the driver quickly reached for the handgun on his lap. In fear for their own safety, the officers discharged their weapons at the driver.

 Relatives of a man fatally shot by police in a Bay Area Taco Bell drive-through over the weekend say he was asleep and was not threatening anyone when officers opened fire on him.

Authorities in Vallejo responded to the fast-food restaurant about 10:40 p.m. Saturday after employees reported seeing a man “slumped over” in the driver’s seat of a silver Mercedes-Benz, police said.

 The call began as a welfare check, but as officers approached the car, they saw a gun in the man’s lap, police said. The car was locked, and the transmission was in drive, officials said.

After some time, the man moved, and officers told him to keep his hands visible, police said. But authorities said he reached for the gun and officers, fearing for their safety, fired their weapons.

331 is the 67th prime number
