On Wednesday, December 29th, 2021, at approximately 1209 hours, I received a telephone call
from Detective M. Eskes #1008 with the Huntington Beach Police Department. Detective Eskes
advised that an individual at 17027 South Pacific Avenue in the City of Huntington Beach, had
located a "bullet" inside the residence. (This residence is located north of the scene of the officer
involved shooting). Detective Eskes also advised that the bullet appeared to have entered the
residence through a south facing exterior wall.
At approximately 1211 hours, I contacted the Orange County Crime Lab (OCCL) and spoke to
Supervisor P. Pusztai and notified her of the situation. I provided Pusztai with Detective Eskes'
contact information, and Pusztai advised she would coordinate OCCL response and processing with
Detective Eskes. See OCCL report (FR#21-56330) for details.

gunshot wounds, but stated that depending on which were entry or exit wounds, was not sure of the
exact count. Dinnen had never seen the subject before, who Dinnen described as a male Hispanic,
approximately 30 years old, with a buzzed head. Dinnen did not observe any weapons near or on the
subject. Dinnen recalled the subject saying something about the sensation of his “veins about to
pop”, which Dinnen believed to be in reference to the tourniquet the subject had on. The subject did
not say anything related to the OIS. Dinnen believed the subject might have been under the
influence of some type of narcotic (an “upper”), as his heart rate was elevated.

the area of Pacific Avenue and 3rd/4th street. Fugate observed multiple HBPD officers on
southbound Pacific across the greenbelt. Upon approaching the subject, Fugate observed a firearm
on the ground. Fugate described the gun as a dark gray semiautomatic sub compact handgun.

Interview of HBPD Officer Alvarado:
On Monday, December 27, 2021, at about 1830 hours, Investigators M. Kennedy #5428 and C. Hunt
#7612 conducted an interview with Officer Evelyn Alvarado #1035 of the Huntington Beach Police
Department (HBPD). The interview was related to a male subject who fired a weapon at bicyclists
and a subsequent officer involved shooting occurred on December 27, 2021.
The interview took place in a conference room at the HBPD station located at 2000 Main Street,
Huntington Beach. Also present in the interview was HBPD Detective Joe Kearby #1010.
Additionally, HBPD Sergeant Brian Jones was there as an observer. The interview was audio
recorded. It is not verbatim, nor necessarily in order of conversation, and is organized for purposes
of clarity. This report is not meant to take the place of the actual recording, it is a synopsis. For
further details or information refer to the full audio recording of the interview.
The following is a summary of Officer Alvarado’s statements and the interview.
Officer Alvarado told Investigators Hunt and Kennedy her statement was free and voluntary. She
stated she was not ordered nor did she feel compelled in any way to give a statement.
Officer Alvarado stated she was wearing a department issued body worn camera which was
activated during her response to the incident. For further details of Officer Alvarado’s response see
her body worn camera footage.
The footage gathered from Officer Alvarado’s body worn camera was reviewed separately, after the
interview was conducted. For details of events captured during the incident from Officer Alvarado’s
camera, refer to the supplemental report for body worn camera footage review (This DR number).
On Monday, December 27th, 2021, at about 1220 hours Officer Alvarado was working uniformed
patrol when she heard a radio broadcast reference a shots fired call with further information the
victim was down and the suspect was still pointing the gun at the victim.
Officer Alvarado was alone when she responded to the call. Officer Alvarado responded from
downtown and upon arrival was directed to additional officers who were in the area of South Pacific
Avenue and 5th Street where she entered. Officer Alvarado met with other officers who were taking
cover and could see a male Hispanic subject lying on the ground. Officer Alvarado never heard or
saw any shots being fired. Officer Alvarado stated she could see a gun in the suspect’s right hand
with his finger on the trigger. Officer Alvarado described the suspect as twitching and was very
obviously pulling the trigger on the weapon. She could see the slide was locked to the rear but the
suspect was still repeatedly pulling the trigger. She described the weapon as a black Glock semi-
automatic handgun.
Officer Alvarado used a patrol vehicle as cover and continued to provide lethal cover for her partners
as an arrest team was formed and approached the suspect. Officer Alvarado saw officers were
rendering medical aid and approached the suspect. Officer Alvarado saw Officer Jamison who shot

the suspect was still rendering medical aid so he relieved him and took over his duties. She assisted
with rolling the suspect over as a cursory search was performed and other officers applied chest
seals to the visible wounds on the suspect’s upper body. Officer Alvarado recalled seeing a
tourniquet on the suspect’s right leg and a gunshot exit wound on his back. Officer Alvarado
assisted the suspect to the recovery position and Huntington Beach Medics arrived and took over
rending medical aid.
Officer Alvarado recalled the suspect was hostile to questioning from the officers. Multiple times the
suspect replied to the officers’ questions with, “Fuck you.”

Interview of HBPD Officer Cerda:
On December 27th, 2021, at about 1850 hours, Investigator M. Parrish #3355 and I interviewed
HBPD Officer Joshua Cerda about the OIS. The interview was conducted at the Huntington
Beach Police Department, located at 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648. Also present

stated they were. I asked Officer Cerda whether he was ordered by anyone in his organization to
provide statements to us, and Officer Cerda replied that he was not ordered to do so. I asked Officer
Cerda whether he felt compelled to provide statements because he was interviewed by Investigators
from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and Officer Cerda stated he did not feel compelled.
The footage gathered from Officer Cerda’s BWC was reviewed separately, and occurred after the
interview was conducted. For details of events captured during the incident from Officer Cerda’s
camera, refer to the supplemental report for BWC footage review (This DR number).
On Monday, December 27th, 2021, Officer Cerda was working uniformed patrol, position 67 Adam (2
officer unit) with Officer Reyna (HBPD). Officer Cerda’s patrol vehicle was not equipped with a video
recorder.
I asked Officer Cerda whether he had a body worn camera (BWC) that was recording during the
incident. He stated his BWC was mounted to his chest and was recording throughout his response
to the incident.
Officer Cerda was dispatched to a trespassing call and was enroute to that call. Officer Cerda heard
a broadcast of an assault with deadly weapon, but the call initially was dispatched to south end units.
Officer Cerda looked up the assault with a deadly weapon call on his unit computer, and observed
the suspect description to be a male Hispanic wearing a gray hoodie.
Officer Cerda heard Officer Jamison broadcast over the radio, “Shots fired” (Officer Cerda
recognized Officer Jamison’s voice). Officer Cerda responded “Code 3” (lights and sirens) to Officer
Jamison’s location, from the approximate area of Heil and Gothard.
At approximately 1230 hours, Officers Cerda and Reyna arrived on scene and Officer Reyna parked
their vehicle near the south end of South Pacific Avenue. Officers Cerda and Reyna exited their
vehicle and ran across the grass towards other Officers that were taking cover behind additional
police vehicles, and were pointing their guns towards the suspect. Officer Cerda observed the
suspect, who was wearing a gray hoodie, lying on his back.

Interview of HBPD Officer Drake:
On December 27th, 2021, at about 1816 hours, Investigator M. Parrish #3355 and I interviewed
HBPD Officer Brian Drake about the OIS. The interview was conducted at the Huntington
Beach Police Department, located at 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648. Also present

I asked Officer Drake whether he had a body worn camera (BWC) that was recording during the

The footage gathered from Officer Drake’s BWC was reviewed separately, and occurred after the

On Monday, December 27th, 2021, Officer Drake was working uniformed patrol in position 2C, a
single officer unit. Officer Drake’s vehicle was not equipped with a video recorder.
Officer Drake stated at approximately between 1220 and 1225 hours, he heard a radio dispatch of an
assault with a deadly weapon that had just occurred, and that a male Hispanic with a gray shirt had
shot someone on the grass. The suspect was standing over the victim with a gun, and pointing the
gun at the victim. Officer Drake recalled that the initial dispatch was to unit 45C, due to confusion
that the call location was in Huntington in “Beat 4”, but as more calls came in, the call location was
updated to the area of 7th and PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). Officer Drake responded “Code 3”
from the area of Main and Adams.
Officer Drake arrived at the incident location, simultaneously with numerous other officers. Officer
Drake drove northbound on North Pacific Avenue from the Warner turn around, looking for the male
suspect who Officer Drake understood to have been last seen running away from the scene (assault
with deadly weapon). Officer Drake remembered a police vehicle driving northbound on South
Pacific Avenue, as Officer Drake was driving northbound on North Pacific Ave. Around the time
Officer Drake drove to the intersection of North Pacific Ave. and 4thStreet, Officer Drake heard
gunshots behind him, potentially near the area of South Pacific Avenue. Shortly after hearing the
gunshots, Officer Drake heard “Shots Fired” broadcasted on the radio by Officer Jamison.

Officer Drake continued northbound until reaching 5th or 6th street, turned his vehicle around, and
began driving southbound on South Pacific Avenue, until he realized he may be putting himself in a
bad position. Officer Drake exited his vehicle and took cover behind a nearby residence (a multi-
story gray brick house). From this position, Officer Drake was able to observe both Officer Jamison
and the suspect.
Officer Jamison’s unit (police vehicle) was facing northbound on South Pacific Ave., a couple houses
south of Officer Drake’s location. Officer Jamison was at the doorframe of his unit’s driver’s side
door. The male suspect was laying on his right side in front of Officer Jamison’s unit, holding a
firearm in his right hand. Officer Drake estimated that the suspect was approximately 15-20 yards
away from his (Officer Drake’s) position. Officer Drake further detailed the firearm the suspect was
holding as a dark colored, semiautomatic gun, with the slide locked to the rear. Officer Drake stated
the suspect appeared to be either losing consciousness or hurting, but the suspect had the gun
gripped in his right hand, as he was laying on his right side, and was attempting to lift the gun up.
The suspect had the gun pointed in Officer Jamison’s direction. Officer Drake observed that the
suspect wasn’t paying any attention to commands, specifically commands given to drop the gun.
As more Officers arrived, Officer Drake observed a team of officers form by the grass area, just east
of where the suspect was. As those officers made their approach to, and made contact with the
suspect, Officer Drake joined the group of officers, to avoid a crossfire situation with Officer Jamison
(who at this point was directly to Officer Drake’s south, past the suspect). Officer Drake remembered
that the group of officers was comprised of Sergeant Munoz, Officer Watkins, and Officer Jensen, but
did not remember the other officers.
Once the group of officers secured the firearm, Officer Drake and other officers in that group began
applying first aid. They began removing clothing (all clothing except for his underwear) and
identifying gunshot wounds. Officer Drake applied a tourniquet to the upper portion of the suspect’s
right leg. Officer Drake observed gunshot wounds to the suspect’s stomach (left side), stomach (right
side), right armpit, quadricep (upper portion). Officer Drake stated Officer Cerda applied chest seals
on the suspect. Based on Officer Drake’s training and experience, he believed the suspect was
under the influence of a CNS (Central Nervous System) stimulant.
Within a couple minutes, Paramedics arrived on scene (ET241 with the Huntington Beach Fire
Department) and took over medical aid on the suspect. Officer Drake remembered the paramedics
were Paramedics Sato and Dinnin.
Officer Drake accompanied the suspect in the ambulance to the UCI (University of California, Irvine)
Hospital. Officer Drake observed another gunshot wound on the suspect’s right hip during the
ambulance ride to the hospital. Officer Drake described the suspect as uncooperative during the
entire trip to the hospital. Officer Drake stated the suspect attempted get up and remove his
restraints multiple times. The suspect complained about the tourniquets, to which Officer Drake
advised the suspect that the tourniquets were likely saving his life. The suspect responded that he
didn’t care if he would die. The suspect continuously shouted expletives at Officer Drake and would
not provide his name. Officer Drake stated the suspect was uncooperative to the point in which
paramedics administered medication to calm him (the suspect) down.
Upon arriving at UCI hospital, the suspect did not leave Officer Drake’s sight.

On Monday, December 27th, 2021, Officer Garcia was working uniformed patrol in assignment 45C,
a single officer unit. Officer Garcia was monitoring the radio when he responded code 3 (lights and
sirens) from the area of 17th and Adams in Huntington Beach. Officer Garcia did not recall the
specific time, but remembered the nature of the radio transmission was a call that a bicyclist had
been shot. The call was assigned to himself and possibly another officer.
Upon arriving near the incident location, Officer Garcia heard a radio transmission of “shots fired”.
Officer Garcia did not hear nor see the shots being fired. Officer Garcia drove past the greenbelt
area, as was driving behind another police vehicle. The unit in front of Officer Garcia stopped, as did
Officer Garcia. Officer Garcia heard a radio transmission of an updated location, near 4th street and
North Pacific. Officer Garcia ran from his current location (near 8th street) towards the updated
location. Officer Garcia observed units (police vehicles) facing southbound. Officer Garcia then
observed the possible suspect laying on the street. Officer Garcia approached the passenger side of
Officer Wood’s vehicle. After formulating a plan, Officer Garcia and other officers approached the
suspect with their weapons drawn. As he got closer to the suspect, Officer Garcia saw the suspect
was laying on his side, and had a gun either in or near his (suspect’s) hand. The general orientation
of the weapon was towards Officer Jamison. Another officer (possibly Jensen) secured the gun and
slid it away from the suspect, and Officer Garcia secured the gun under his foot. Officer Garcia

recalled the gun being “slide locked”, and did not observe any ammunition in the chamber, also
indicating the weapon had been fired until ammunition was depleted. The gun looked similar to a
Glock pistol. Once the suspect was secured, Officer Garcia and other officers (including Officer
Wood, Officer Jensen, Sgt. Nikitin, Officer Alvarado, Officer Cerda, and Officer Drake) present began
rendering medical aid to the suspect. During the rendering of aid, the suspect was cursing and
appeared to be tensing up his body. Officer Garcia did not directly render aid, but retrieved scissors
from an aid bag to assist in removing the suspect’s clothing. Before leaving to retrieve the scissors,
Sgt. Nikitin secured the suspect’s gun.
Officer Garcia saw a tourniquet applied to one of the suspect's legs. Once the suspect’s shirt was
removed, Officer Garcia observed apparent gunshot wounds to the suspect’s torso. Officer Garcia
observed other officers apply chest seals to the suspect. Officer Garcia stated that during his
observation, the suspect maintained his consciousness and was cursing and grunting the entire time.
Officer Garcia remembered civilians being present near the scene, but did not recall seeing any one
recording with cellphones.
Officer Garcia did not interact with the victim of the initial call.
Officer Garcia was not injured during the incident.
Officer Garcia assisted with putting up crime scene tape and securing the scene.

Interview of HBPD Officer Jensen:
On Monday, December 27, 2021, at about 1705 hours, Investigators M. Kennedy #5428 and C. Hunt
#7612 conducted an interview with Officer Ryan Jensen #1260 of the Huntington Beach Police
Department (HBPD). The interview was related to a male subject who fired a weapon at bicyclists
and a subsequent officer involved shooting occurred on December 27, 2021.
The interview took place in a conference room at the HBPD station located at 2000 Main Street,
Huntington Beach. Also present in the interview was HBPD Detective Joe Kearby #1010.
Additionally, HBPD Sergeant Brian Jones was there as an observer. The interview was audio
recorded. It is not verbatim, nor necessarily in order of conversation, and is organized for purposes
of clarity. This report is not meant to take the place of the actual recording, it is a synopsis. For
further details or information refer to the full audio recording of the interview.
The following is a summary of Officer Jensen’s statements and the interview.
Officer Jensen told Investigators Hunt and Kennedy his statement was free and voluntary. He stated
he was not ordered nor did he feel compelled in any way to give a statement.
Officer Jensen stated he was wearing a department issued body worn camera which was activated
during his response to the incident. For further details of Officer Jensen’s response see his body
worn camera footage.
The footage gathered from Officer Jensen’s body worn camera was reviewed separately, after the
interview was conducted. For details of events captured during the incident from Officer Jensen’s
camera, refer to the supplemental report for body worn camera footage review (This DR number).
On Monday, December 27th, 2021, Officer Jensen was working uniformed patrol when he heard a
radio broadcast reference an assault with a deadly weapon, shots fired, and one person hurt. Officer
Jensen was alone when he responded to the call. He responded from the area of Beach Blvd. and
Garfield Ave. The radio traffic continued to update as he continued toward the incident stating a male
shooter was still holding a gun and was wearing a gray hoodie. Officer Jensen arrived and parked
just behind Sergeant Munoz’s vehicle facing the ocean (West) on South Pacific Avenue.
Officer Jensen arrived and immediately observed a male subject lying on the ground and holding a
gun in his hand which was pointed directly at Officer Jamison. Officer Jensen could see the weapon
was out of battery and the slide was locked to the rear. Officer Jensen heard several commands to
put the gun down being given but not being followed by the suspect. Officer Jensen never heard or
saw any shots being fired.
Officer Jensen told a few partners behind him (unable to recall whom) the gun held by the suspect
was out of battery and they should approach the suspect and disarm him. Officer Jensen
approached the suspect, removed the gun from his hand, and performed a quick cursory search of
his person. Officer Jensen removed a spray bottle or something similar to a spray paint bottle from
the front pocket of the suspect’s hoodie about the size of a water bottle. Officer Jensen threw the

unknown item to the side and he continued to search the suspect’s person. Officer Jensen recalled
a gunshot wound to the suspect’s right thigh. As they rolled him over to his side, Officer Jensen saw
blood on his back coming from underneath the suspect’s sweatshirt. They rolled the suspect to his
stomach and placed handcuffs on him. He then noticed more wounds and decided to roll him back
to his stomach to remove the handcuffs and render further medical aid. Officer Jensen removed the
suspect’s belt and pants and requested a tourniquet from his partners. Officer Drake applied a
tourniquet to the suspect’s leg and Officer Jensen lifted the suspect’s shirt to search for additional
wounds. Officer Jensen saw a gunshot wound to the lower left torso near his ribcage. He then
rolled the suspect to his back and saw an exit wound on his back and an expended bullet caught in
the suspect’s sweatshirt. Officer Jensen placed two chest seals on the suspect’s upper body and
then saw another wound to the suspect’s armpit and placed another chest seal on the armpit
wound. Officer Jensen then placed the suspect in the recovery position and did another sweep for
wounds as Huntington Beach Paramedics arrived and took over medical aid.
Officer Jensen described the weapon he removed from the suspect’s hand as a semi-automatic
small pistol. He further described it as a 9 millimeter gun, possibly Ruger, with a two tone color (gray
and black). Officer Jensen and other officers attempted to obtain the suspect’s name and other
information to which the suspect replied, “Fuck you.”

Interview of HBPD Sergeant Munoz:
On December 27th, 2021, at about 1635 hours, Investigator M. Parrish #3355 and I interviewed
HBPD Sgt. J. Munoz about the OIS. The interview was conducted at the Huntington Beach Police
Department, located at 2000 Main St., Huntington Beach, CA 92648. Also present during the
interview was HBPD Professional Standards Unit Sergeant Shawn White and HBPD Detective Trent
Tunstall #1178. The following is a summary of Sergeant Munoz’s statements and my conversation
with him, which was digitally recorded. It is not verbatim, nor necessarily in order of conversation,
and is organized for purposes of clarity. This report is not meant to take place of the actual recording.
It is just a synopsis. For complete details, refer to the recording of the interview.
I asked Sergeant Munoz whether the statements he was about to give were free and voluntary; he
stated they were. I asked Sergeant Munoz whether he was ordered by anyone in his organization to
provide statements to us, and Sergeant Munoz replied that he was not ordered to do so. I asked
Sergeant Munoz whether he felt compelled to provide statements because he was interviewed by
Investigators from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and Sergeant Munoz stated he did not
feel compelled.
I asked Sergeant Munoz whether he had a body worn camera (BWC) that was recording during the
incident. He stated his BWC was mounted to his chest and was recording throughout his response
to the incident.
The footage gathered from Sergeant Munoz’s BWC was reviewed separately, and occurred after the
interview was conducted. For details of events captured during the incident from Sergeant Munoz’s

On Monday, December 27th, 2021, at about 1222 hours, Sergeant J. Munoz was working a
uniformed assignment with the HBPD as a patrol supervisor, when he heard a radio broadcast
reference an assault with deadly weapon, with shots having been fired and that one person was
hurt. Sgt. Munoz was alone when he responded to the call. Sgt. Munoz drove northbound on North
Pacific while actively looking for the suspect. As he was traveling northbound, Sgt. Munoz heard
shots coming from behind him (two series of three shots each, totaling six shots heard). Sgt. Munoz
performed a U-turn and proceeded to an officer (Jamison) that broadcasted he was involved in a
shooting. Sgt. Munoz did not observe the shots.
Sergeant Munoz observed one suspect whom he had never seen before. Sergeant Munoz observed
the suspect on the ground with a gun in his right hand, with the gun pointed at Officer Jamison. Sgt.
Munoz observed that the gun was out of battery, and that the suspect was still trying to “shoot” it, by
actively attempting to pull the trigger. The suspect did not respond to any commands given to him.
While trying to pull the trigger of the gun, the suspect momentarily lost consciousness. At that point,
officers approached the suspect, disarmed him, and began rendering medical aid. The suspect
regained consciousness and began yelling at the officers rendering aid. Sgt. Munoz recalled at
least one tourniquet being applied to the suspect by the officers before paramedics arrived. Sgt.
Munoz observed two wounds to the suspect’s stomach area and one to his leg.

On Monday, December 27th, 2021, Sergeant Nikitin was working uniformed patrol field supervisor in
assignment 2S. Sergeant Nikitin heard a radio call reference an assault with deadly weapon, and
that someone had shot a bicyclist. The initial call came out at 7th and PCH, near the downtown area
(and in Sergeant Nikitin’s patrol area). Sergeant Nikitin responded code 3 (lights and sirens) to the
call. The call was then updated to Sunset Beach, and Sergeant Nikitin continued his response to the
location. While enroute, Sergeant Nikitin heard radio updates to the call, that someone was down in
the street, and the suspect was pointing a gun at other people. The last update Sergeant Nikitin
heard while enroute was that the suspect was running towards Warner (Avenue).
Sergeant Nikitin entered the area from the north, and while arriving on scene, he heard someone
broadcast on the radio “shots fired”. Sergeant Nikitin did not observe any officers in his vicinity, so he
turned his vehicle around and drove southbound on PCH, and re-entered the area on 5th street. The
road was blocked by other vehicles, so he exited his vehicle and ran towards other police vehicles.
Sergeant Nikitin observed a person down on the ground on the service road, and took cover behind
a tree. Sergeant Nikitin observed the person (suspect) through his rifle scope, and observed the
suspect was laying on his right side, with his back towards Sergeant Nikitin. The suspect was
wearing blue jeans and a gray sweatshirt. Sergeant Nikitin repositioned himself closer to other
officers. Upon repositioning, Sergeant Nikitin could now see that the suspect had a gun in his hand,

Sergeant Nikitin later learned that the vehicle was Officer Jamison’s.
Sergeant Nikitin heard commands being given to the suspect. The suspect did not appear to be
responding to the commands. Sergeant Nikitin observed that the slide of the handgun was locked to
the rear. The decision was made to approach the suspect and take him into custody.
Upon contacting the suspect, the weapon was secured. Sergeant Nikitin stated the weapon
appeared to be a Glock, gray and black in color, but the slide was absent of any engraving, and
looked similar to a ghost gun.
Sergeant Nikitin began directing the rendering of medical aid. Sergeant Nikitin observed apparent
gunshot wounds to the suspect’s torso and back. A tourniquet was applied to the suspect’s right leg,
and chest seals were applied. Sergeant Nikitin recalled the suspect speaking, but his speech was
unintelligible.

“Yeah, I was wondering what the fuck was going on.” I asked to tell me about some of the ideas

with a gun was wearing. stated the male was wearing a grey sweatshirt, blue jeans, and
white tennis shoes. further described the male as possibly white, in his forties.
thought he should call the police, but decided to confirm whether the male was holding a

a “Glock” ( stated he wasn’t really a gun guy, but his friends have guns). further
described the gun as dark grey or black. stated he had never seen the male in his
neighborhood before. tried to take a picture of the male, but by the time was able to
grab his phone, his view of the male was obscured as now a row of vehicles were obscuring
view of the male. then continued to observe the male with his binoculars.
was about to call the police when he heard sirens. continued watching from his living
room window (located on the south wall of his residence, closer to the south west corner of the
residence and with a direct field of view to the area wherein the officer involved shooting occurred).
saw one police car that traveled north on south bound South Pacific (South Pacific Avenue is
a one way street with directions of travel marked southbound). The police car came up to the male
with the gun. The male Police Officer exited his police car, got down next to the door, and yelled at
the male (armed with the gun) to put the gun down. said “I think he did it 3 or 4 times, pretty
much the same way, you know, drop the gun, put the gun down, sir put the gun down, put the gun
down. And then the shooting started”. stated the male seemed to be walking towards the
officer as these commands were being given. then stated that it seemed like the male was
pointing the gun at the officer, but he wasn’t sure because was now looking at the male’s
back. I asked why he believed the male was pointing the gun at the officer. stated
that while looking at the male’s back, he could see his left arm down by his side, but could not see
the male’s right arm or the gun (indicating to the male’s right arm was raised in the direction
of the officer).
I asked for his opinion on whether it appeared as if the male was complying with the officer’s
commands. replied “Oh, no. He wasn’t complying”.
I asked whether it seemed like gunshots were exchanged (between the officer and male).
thought gunfire was being exchanged due to the rapid staccato pace of the shots he heard.
then referenced the initial volley of shots he heard (before the officer arrived, shortly before
he first observed the male from his kitchen window) which were slower.
stated he maintained constant observation of the male’s encounter with officer. I asked
whether he ducked down at any point, and stated he did not. initially observed
the encounter with his binoculars, until he heard the officer telling the male to drop the gun, at which
point put the binoculars down.
stated that seconds after he heard the shots, additional police cars drove up onto the green
belt from the east. stated, using his phone, he took a picture of the male while he was down
on the ground. I asked if he could send me the photo that he took. He stated “Sure” and
texted the photo to my department issued cellphone. After taking the photo, stopped his
observations and made his way downstairs from his residence.
