Officer Alex Millan, previously involved in a controversial shooting of unarmed man Darnell Travis, is no longer with the Fontana police department due to new allegations of sexual assault, according to Police Chief Michael Dorsey. In June 2022, Millan fatally shot Travis while attempting an arrest on suspicion of illegal firearms. Following the shooting, a $2 million settlement was reached with Travis' family. In January 2024, a woman accused Millan of sexual assault, claiming he coerced her after a police investigation, leading to further legal scrutiny of his conduct.
Millian's departure from the Fontana police followed allegations of sexual assault made against him in 2023, despite being cleared of wrongdoing in a previous fatal shooting incident.
After a detailed internal investigation, it was concluded that Officer Millan acted within the bounds of the police policy during the tragic encounter that led to the death of Darnell Travis.
The city of Fontana agreed to a $2 million settlement for the lawsuit filed by Darnell Travis' family, indicating significant financial and reputational impact from the incident.
In a separate lawsuit, Millan is accused of sexually assaulting a woman he approached after a police incident, raising serious concerns about his conduct as an officer.
