On March 2, 2019, Schubert announced that following an investigation into the officer-involved shooting death of local resident Stephon Clark, no charges would be brought against the officers. On March 18, 2018, two officers confronted Clark after responding to reports that an individual was breaking into car windows. The officers chased Clark into a backyard, where he began moving towards them while holding a cell phone. Schubert's report stated that the officers had acted in a lawful manner and out of fear for their lives, saying that they had reason to believe Clark was armed with a gun. The investigation led Schubert to "become the focus of Black Lives Matters protesters and others who wanted Officers Terrence Mercadel and Jared Robinet charged with murder," according to The Sacramento Bee.
