disabled.
At that point, Officer H A N E Y felt the driver had no regard for their safety and the safety of the public in
atte mpts to flee. As they continued westbound on Ada ms, the driver made several "brake checks." She
believed the driver was looking for an opportunity to "foot bail" to continue to get a way.
At the red signal at Lake Street, Officer H A N E Y esti mated the driver drove through the intersection at 60
mph. After L ake Street, Ada ms turns into a residential area. At a red signal at Main Street, the driver drove

On 2/19/20 I was notified of an Officer Involved Shooting that occurred near Pier Plaza next to City of
Huntington Beach To wer 6. This location is at the waterline, north of the Huntington Beach Pier. Upon
arrival, I was tasked with securing the scene of the shooting until it could be photographed. I arrived on the
sand, near To wer 6 at approxi mately 0500 hours. Around this ti me, I relieved Ofc. Villareal who had been
standing at the scene, ensuring that no evidence was disturbed. Ofc. Villareal sho wed me a set of tire tracks
that led to wards the water. He told me that Ofc. Bach man had fired his weapon approxi mately 20 feet beyond
these tracks.
I measured off the location in relation to To wer 6 by step-count. I counted fifty steps to wards the water fro m
the front of To wer 6 and then 15 steps to wards the Pier as the approxi mate location of where the shooting
occurred. I also checked the area to see if any shell casings or evidence was in the area. I noted the tide had
co me in covering a significant part of the area. No evidence was located at this ti me.
Later, C S O A. Cozad arrived to take pictures of the scene and area. At this ti me, I related the infor mation of
where the shooting occurred to her. After she co mpleted the photographs, I received notification that I could
leave the area.
I was later directed to coordinate with Ofc. La mas to respond with me mbers of the H B P D Search and Rescue
tea m to look for the expended shell casing and a "vape pen" that was believed to have been dropped during the
incident. Ofc. La mas responded with four Search and Rescue " Explorers" and a metal detector. While on
scene, they recovered a 9 m m shell casing that had been found by a citizen. See Ofc. La mas` report for further
details.
I conducted no other investigation at this ti me.

On Wednesday , February 19, 2020, I ( Officer J. Gance, #3110) was working on duty as a Police Officer in the
Cit y of Huntington Beach, County of Orange. I was driving a marked, black and white police vehicle and was
wearing a full police unifor m.
At approxi mately 0248 hours, I was in the area of Slater Avenue and Beach Boulevard. At that ti me, I heard
over the radio that Officer M. Haney (#1253) initiated a vehicle pursuit in the area of Ada ms Avenue and
Bushard Street. Upon hearing this, I began responding southbound through the city to assist Officer Haney
when and where possible.
At approxi mately 0251 hours, I heard that the vehicle pursuit ter minated on Pacific Coast High way, west of
Main Street. I m mediately after, a foot pursuit was initiated by Officer Haney and other involved H B P D
Officers. The foot pursuit continued fro m Pacific Coast High way onto the beach/sand, bet ween lifeguard
to wers 4 and 6. At approxi mately 0253 hours, an officer involved shooting occurred.
Please refer to the main cri me report for co mplete details regarding the previously mentioned incidents.
At approxi mately 0255 hours, I arrived to the incident scene on the beach to assist. This was on the sand
bet ween to wers 4 and 6, south of the 6th Street Parking lot. Upon arrival, I observed that a male suspect was
handcuffed near the ocean/ waterline, and being walked to a nearby patrol vehicle parked on the sand. At that
ti me, I observed a pocket knife on the sand, exactly where the suspect was taken into custody.
I further inspected the knife, and it is described as follo ws:
- One folding pocket knife. The knife was folded closed at that ti me, and re mained that way for the duration of
the investigation. The pocket knife`s handle had a green, ca mouflage design with a " U S A R M Y" logo on the
side. The other side of the knife had a metal clip.
To properly secure the evidence at the incident scene, I stood next to the knife and ensured it was not touched
or ta mpered with. I used my Body Worn Ca mera ( B W C) to take video footage of the knife at the scene as it
lay, and also used my depart ment issued cell phone to take photographs of the knife on the sand. The video

On 2-19-20 at approxi mately 0250 hours, I was driving a marked black and white police vehicle and wearing
m y full police unifor m. I was monitoring the police radio when I heard Officer H A N E Y #1253 conduct a
traffic stop on a vehicle with no license plates on it in the area of Bushard Street and Ada ms Avenue. I later
heard Officer H A N E Y advise the vehicle was fleeing fro m her westbound on Ada ms Avenue.
Officer H A N E Y follo wed behind the vehicle as it continued to flee fro m her westbound on Ada ms Avenue.
She ulti mately advised that the vehicle had made a turn and was no w driving northbound on 17th Street fro m
Ada ms Avenue. I drove to the area of Main Street and Utica Avenue and waited for the vehicle. Fro m Main
Street and Utica Avenue I was able to see the vehicle co ming northbound, while Officer H A N E Y was
follo wing closely behind it. I could hear Officer H A N E Y`s siren and I was able to see the solid overhead light
on her vehicle as they both drove to wards me.
The vehicle then made a southbound turn onto Main Street fro m 17th Street. I activated my siren and
e mergency overhead lights, displaying a solid for ward facing red light, and drove behind Officer H A N E Y and
the suspect vehicle. I broadcast my involve ment in the pursuit using my police radio. It should be noted that
the suspect vehicle lost control mo mentarily as it turned southbound onto Main Street. I was able to see the
rear end of the vehicle sliding through the turn.
I then follo wed Officer H A N E Y and the suspect vehicle southbound on Main Street. The vehicle was
accelerating rapidly and we reached speeds of approxi mately 70 miles per hour. Main Street in this area is
pri marily residential and has a posted speed li mit of 35 M P H. The vehicle continued southbound on Main
Street at a consistent speed of approxi mately 70 miles per hour.
The vehicle continued southbound through multiple curves in the street before reaching the do wnto wn
Huntington Beach area. The vehicle slo wed to approxi mately 50 miles per hour, ho wever did not stop for the
four way stop signs at Main Street and Orange Avenue, Olive Avenue, and Walnut Avenue. The vehicle
continued southbound before making a right westbound turn onto Pacific Coast High way ( P C H). The vehicle
atte mpted to negotiate the turn at such a high rate of speed that the driver was unable to maintain the vehicle
during the turn.
The vehicle drove over the median separating westbound and eastbound P C H, ulti mately driving westbound
in the eastbound lanes of P C H. The vehicle drove back over the median onto the westbound side of P C H and

They entered the 6th Street parking lot, then turned south, to wards the beach. They ran do wn a slope, located

2-19-20 at 1515 hours
Detective P H A M #1183 and I conducted an intervie w of Officer B A C H M A N #2223 related to this incident.
Attorney was also present in representation of Officer B A C H M A N. This free and voluntary
state ment was audio recorded and a copy of that audio file was later uploaded to Evidence.co m under this case
nu mber. The follo wing is a synopsis of the intervie w:
Detective P H A M asked Officer B A C H M A N to recount his actions and observations fro m this incident.
Officer B A C H M A N said he had been on patrol at approxi mately 0300 hours when Officer H A N E Y #1253
broadcast a traffic stop over the radio and he heard her "i m mediately call for a back" (backup officer). Officer
B A C H M A N was driving marked police unit #832 at the ti me ( Ford Cro wn Victoria). Officer B A C H M A N
said he had worked with Officer H A N E Y for the past t wo years and recognized fro m her voice that she was "a
little bit spun up, a little bit excited." Officer B A C H M A N said he was approxi mately one mile south of
Officer H A N E Y at the ti me and he began responding to assist.
Officer B A C H M A N said before he was able to reach Officer H A N E Y`s location, he heard her state over the
radio she was no w in pursuit of the vehicle westbound on Ada ms Avenue at Bushard Street. Officer
B A C H M A N said he was near Bushard and Ha milton Avenue at that ti me (approxi mately 1.5 miles to the
south). Officer B A C H M A N said he drove to Atlanta Avenue (t wo streets south of Ada ms) and began to drive
westbound parallel to the pursuit. He said he heard Officer H A N E Y advise the suspect vehicle was driving 97
miles per hour, had driven through the red light at Ada ms and Beach Boulevard, and had driven through the

red light at Ada ms and Lake Street. He said the vehicle drove near the police station (2000 Main Street) and
he heard Officer M O S S B R O O K S #2086 advise over the radio that he was joining the pursuit as the suspect
vehicle fled southbound on Main.
Officer B A C H M A N said he was still try ing to catch up to the pursuit at that ti me and kne w the suspect was
driving to ward the do wnto wn area (near Main/ P C H). He said he heard Officer VI L L A R R E A L #2103 advise
over the radio he had also joined the pursuit and heard the location updated as being northbound on P C H fro m
Main. He said officers then advised over the radio that the suspect vehicle had crashed. Officer B A C H M A N
recalled he was in the area of Main and Acacia Avenue at that ti me and had not been involved in the pursuit.
He said he reached Main/ P C H, sa w the collision, and heard Officer H A N E Y advise she was in "foot pursuit"
to ward the beach. Officer B A C H M A N said he drove northbound past the collision to assist the officers in foot
pursuit and turned into the 6th Street parking lot. That parking lot entrance road ter minates at the beach
service road and sand area. Officer B A C H M A N said he drove into the sand as far as he could and sa w Officer
H A N E Y chasing the suspect on the sand to ward the water. He said he only sa w Officer H A N E Y and the
suspect at that ti me, but recalled hearing voices "not in the i m mediate area."
Officer B A C H M A N said he ran through the sand to ward Officer H A N E Y and the suspect and heard Officer
H A N E Y telling the suspect to "stop." He said he also y elled, " Police, stop!" at the suspect while they ran.
Officer B A C H M A N said he ran in a north west direction at an angle to catch up to Officer H A N E Y as she
pursued the suspect northbound near the ocean waterline. He said he was able to catch up and passed Officer
H A N E Y on her right side. He said, " At that point, the suspect had made a couple turns back while he was
running. I noticed his hands were in his - his waistband area while he was looking back but continuing to run.
I felt he was, at that point, holding onto so mething in his pocket or his waistband, but he continued to run."
Officer B A C H M A N said he got closer to the suspect and ordered the suspect, " Sho w me y our hands!" but the
suspect did not react and did not present his hands. He said he yelled again, " Sho w me your fucking hands!" at
which point the suspect stopped and "bladed" back to wards hi m. Officer B A C H M A N explained and
de monstrated this move ment as the suspect turning to his right to ward Officer B A C H M A N, but keeping his
upper body angled a way. He said the suspect`s left hand was still near his waistband. He said, " At that point I
figured he was taking a shooting stance and he was - he was turning to - to present a weapon or to shoot me or
- to shoot me or Officer H A N E Y."
Detective P H A M asked if Officer B A C H M A N could see any thing in the suspect`s hands at that ti me and
Officer B A C H M A N said only one of the suspect`s hands was visible while the other was concealed by the
suspect`s jacket or pants near his waistband. He said, "I could not see what his hand was doing or what it was
holding."
Detective P H A M asked if the suspect had co mplied with any of his or Officer H A N E Y`s co m mands up to that
point and Officer B A C H M A N said the suspect had not.
Officer B A C H M A N said, " At that point, I feared that he was turning back to gauge a target to shoot either me
or ( Officer H A N E Y)." He said he dre w his depart ment-issued handgun ( Glock, model 17, 9 m m) and fired one
shot at the suspect. Officer B A C H M A N said the suspect "i m mediately" dropped to the ground, at which point
Officer B A C H M A N stopped firing, "assessed the situation," and gave the suspect additional verbal co m mands
to present his hands. He said the suspect then co mplied and, once he could see both of the suspect`s hands, he
and Officer H A N E Y handcuffed the suspect behind his back.
Officer B A C H M A N said he i m mediately began checking the suspect`s body for bullet wounds, but found

none. He said he advised over the radio what had occurred and kne w para medics were requested to respond to
that area.
Officer B A C H M A N said he did not collect any evidence fro m the scene and was driven back to the police
station by Officer C A O U E T T E # 1021 after the scene was secured and additional officers had arrived. This is
standard practice in officer-involved shootings and Officer B A C H M A N said he did not discuss his role in the
incident with anyone else.
I asked Officer B A C H M A N ho w he felt after everything had cal med do wn and he said, " At that point, we had
a high-speed pursuit through residential areas, through a business district where people are out at all hours of
the night. Not only that, but when they had - the vehicle pursuit ter minated, this guy was so desperate to get
a way that he foot-bailed and started running a way to ward the beach. When I had caught up to it, it was dark. I
mean, it`s pitch black out there on the beach. And ( Officer H A N E Y) at that point was the only one that I sa w
was within close range of hi m. And so, when I ca me up on hi m and he bladed to wards me in a way that he was
going to present a weapon or he was going to take a gun out because he had been sho wing signs that he was
holding onto so mething in his waistband or his pocket, I felt at that mo ment that he was going to shoot - that
he was turning back to wards us and he was going to shoot me or ( Officer H A N E Y). And he had, y ou kno w,
miles of beach and pitch black to get a way at that point, so if there was a ti me for hi m to, you kno w, give up or
engage us, that was the ti me. I felt scared that he was going to shoot and try and kill me or Officer H A N E Y."
Officer B A C H M A N said the area where they finally took the suspect into custody was "right at the waterline"
and they had to pull the suspect back up the beach after he was handcuffed in order to prevent the tide fro m
reaching the m. I asked if it appeared to hi m the suspect had essentially run out of places to go at that point and
he said, "I feel like he had exhausted his options."
Officer B A C H M A N said the suspect did not stop when he and Officer H A N E Y repeatedly told the suspect to
"stop" during the pursuit, but the suspect had looked back several ti mes. He said when the suspect finally did
stop, it was "different" than the way he had looked back the other ti mes. He said the suspect`s knees were
bent, his body was "bladed" to ward the m, his right hand had "s wung out" a way fro m his body as he turned,
and his left hand was still near his waistband. Officer B A C H M A N said, " He looked back not to see ho w far he
could run still. It was a look back to engage us with a gun."
Officer B A C H M A N said it was dark in the area where the suspect was taken into custody and there is no
a mbient lighting. He also said it was loud near the ocean and he did not hear the suspect say anything during
the encounter.
Officer B A C H M A N said he has no prior military experience and has not worked for any other la w
enforce ment agencies other that Huntington Beach P D. He has been an officer since March 2018. He currently
works the gravey ard shift and began his shift at 2005 hours the previous night, which was the final shift of his
work week. He said, prior to this incident, the shift had not been particularly busy, but he had made so me
unrelated proactive car stops during the night. At the ti me of this incident, Officer B A C H M A N had been
patrolling the south end of the city.
Officer B A C H M A N carries a Glock, model 17, 9 m m handgun as his depart ment-issued duty weapon and
wears it on his right side. He is right-handed and has a Surefire X300 Ultra flashlight mounted to the gun with
an attached grip pressure s witch asse mbly to activate the light. He carries a fully-loaded, 17-round magazine
in the gun with one additional round cha mbered in the gun for a total of 18 rounds. He also carries t wo
additional fully-loaded, 17-round magazines on his duty belt. He last qualified with his Glock approxi mately

one week prior to this incident as part of routine depart ment training. He was not carry ing a backup gun at that
ti me of this incident.
Officer B A C H M A N`s attorney asked hi m if the suspect would have been able to open up more options to flee
if he had shot Officers B A C H M A N and H A N E Y. Officer B A C H M A N said he believed the suspect could
have escaped into the darkness and nearby neighborhoods if he had shot the officers.
His attorney asked if the suspect had ti me to discard any drugs or s mall contraband during the pursuit and
Officer B A C H M A N said the suspect had "a mple" ti me during the vehicle and foot pursuits to discard those
t ypes of ite ms. He said this made hi m feel the ite m or ite ms the suspect was continuing to grab near his
waistband during the foot pursuit was then most likely to be a gun or other weapon.
Officer B A C H M A N said he slept for approxi mately 7 hours prior to his shift, which is a nor mal a mount of
sleep for hi m. He said he had not taken any prescription medications nor consu med any alcoholic beverages
prior to or during his shift which would have affected his motor skills or thought process.
Regarding his body - worn ca mera syste m ( B W C), Officer B A C H M A N said he was wearing his B W C on the
front of his duty belt at the ti me of the incident. He said his B W C had been "buffering" (passively recording)
during the incident, but he had not had ti me to activate the recording until after the suspect was on the ground.
He said because he was in foot pursuit and because he believed Officer H A N E Y was pursuing the suspect
alone ahead of hi m, his focus was on his safety and Officer H A N E Y`s safety, not on activating his ca mera. He
said he also did not kno w where any other suspects were at that ti me. He said he activated the B W C as soon as
he had the opportunity after the suspect was on the ground. Due to the buffering feature, this activated the
video and recorded the previous 30 seconds without audio, including the ti me of the shooting.
Officer B A C H M A N said he has previously responded to calls for service on the beach and kno ws citizens
frequent that sand area through all hours of the night.
As alternate force options, Officer B A C H M A N carries a Taser Conducted Electrical Weapon ( C E W) device
on his duty belt and keeps O C spray and a baton in his vehicle. He said he typically re moves his baton fro m
the vehicle and places it in the baton ring on his duty belt when he exits the car, but in this instance he did not
have ti me to grab his baton. He said he also carries his pacset radio and t wo sets of handcuffs on his duty belt
during his shift. At the ti me of this incident, he was wearing a long-sleeve unifor m shirt with a concealable
vest underneath, unifor m pants, and boots. He said those ite ms are heavy and difficult to run with. He said he
was fatigued when he reached the suspect after running through the sand (approxi mately 200 yards) and
believed the suspect possessed a weapon which could be used against hi m or Officer H A N E Y.
Officer B A C H M A N said when he fired his gun he kne w the ocean was behind the suspect and there were no
other citizens in the area, to his kno wledge.
Officer B A C H M A N said using his C E W was not a reasonable option due to his distance fro m the suspect, the
darkness, the suspect`s baggy clothing, and the windy conditions near the ocean which would have likely
made the C E W cartridge darts ineffective. He said this sa me reasoning would have applied to his O C spray ,
had he been carrying it at the ti me. He said he also felt the suspect was a "lethal threat" at the ti me, which
made hi m decide not to use other force options. His attorney asked Officer B A C H M A N if he would have
elected to use his baton had he been able to grab it fro m the car prior to pursuing the suspect and Officer
B A C H M A N said he would not have. Officer B A C H M A N said none of those force options would have been
effective against a suspect with a gun.

We concluded the intervie w at that ti me. For further detail, refer to additional reports and the audio recording
of the intervie w.
----
I revie wed video fro m Officer B A C H M A N`s body- worn ca mera (serial # which had been
uploaded to Evidence.co m and began at 0252 hours on 2-19-20. The video is 3 minutes, 44 seconds long.
Again, the first 30 seconds of the video does not have audio.
The video begins as Officer B A C H M A N is running across the beach. I t is dark, blurry, and difficult to see, but
it is apparent he is running on the sand with the lights of P C H to his right. At approxi mately the 22-second
mark, Officer B A C H M A N stops and illu minates the suspect with his weapon- mounted light. The suspect,
identified as is wearing dark clothing and is first seen on the ca mera at that mo ment as his
right side is turned to ward Officer B A C H M A N with his knees slightly bent and his torso slightly hunched
for ward. s right hand is raised to approxi mately shoulder height and his left hand is not visible.
Muzzle flash is apparent fro m Officer B A C H M A N`s gun at that sa me ti me and i m mediately falls
to the ground.
At the 30-second mark, Officer B A C H M A N circles to the left while still illu minating on the
ground with his flashlight as the audio activates. He appears to order to "freeze" (or so mething
si milar) as Officer H A N E Y approaches 2-3 seconds later fro m Officer B A C H M A N`s right. Officer
H A N E Y orders " Put y our hands out!" (or possibly "up") t wo ti mes as she contacts on
the ground and Officer B A C H M A N advises over the radio, " Three Nora, nine-nine-eight," to indicate a
shooting had occurred.
Officer B A C H M A N then asks " Do you have any weapons on you?" and says he does
not. Officer B A C H M A N asks, " Are you shot?" and responds, "I don`t kno w." The tide can be seen
washing right up to where and the officers are, so officers appear to drag several feet
a way fro m the water.
Officer B A C H M A N is heard multiple ti mes asking if he`s been shot and if he`s okay as officers
visually and physically check for injuries. Officer B A C H M A N asks for his na me and

On 02/19/2020 at approxi mately 0248 hours, I was working unifor med patrol and driving a marked black and

atte mpt to make a traffic stop of a gray four-door vehicle over H B P D Radio. Officer H A N E Y then advised the
vehicle was fleeing fro m her, westbound on Ada ms Ave fro m Bushard St. I responded Code 3 (lights and
sirens) fro m the area of Bushard St and Ha milton Ave.
While monitoring Officer H A N E Y`s pursuit updates, I heard Officer M O S S B R O O K S #2086 advise that he
was the second unit in the pursuit, which was no w traveling southbound Main St fro m 17th St. Around this

sa w the gray four-door sedan, Officers H A N E Y and Officer M O S S B R O O K S pursuing the vehicle southbound
on Main St through Orange Ave. I joined the pursuit as the third unit southbound on Main St. fro m Orange
Ave. I had the siren and overhead lights, including a for ward facing solid red light, activated on my police

running southbound across the southbound lanes of P C H. I heard Officer H A N E Y advise over H B P D Radio
that she was in foot pursuit of a male black suspect, who was wearing all black clothing.
I parked my police unit and began running to wards Officer H A N E Y to assist her with the foot pursuit. As I
