3 Doe 1 decided to call 9-1-1 to report Taylor’s activity. The 911 operator answered the call, and John Doe 1 reported a male wearing a gray t-shirt was checking car doors, and had a long piece of metal and a piece of wire. Officer Roelofs was dispatched to the parking structure to investigate Taylor. Roelofs was dressed in an SAPD uniform, driving a marked black and white police vehicle, and wearing a body worn camera (BWC). Around 11:35 p.m., Officer Roelofs arrived at the structure and encountered Taylor on the second floor of the structure. Prior to exiting his vehicle, Officer Roelofs activated his BWC. Footage from Roelofs’ BWC showed Officer Roelofs stepping out of the vehicle and remaining on the driver’s side. Taylor walked toward the front end of the passenger side with an approximately three feet long metal bar over his left shoulder, and a metal object down to his right side. Roelofs told Taylor, at gun point, “put the pipe down.” Roelofs radioed he had one individual at gun point on the second floor, south side of the structure. Taylor continued to walk from the front passenger side of the vehicle toward the rear of the vehicle. Roelofs ordered Taylor to “put the pipe down.” Taylor replied, “shoot me,” and Roelofs again ordered Taylor to “Put it down. Put the f****** pipe down, dude.” Roelofs continued to order Taylor to put the pipe down. Taylor stopped near the rear passenger door of the officer’s patrol vehicle, and Officer Roelofs walked to the left rear of the vehicle. Taylor positioned himself with his left side facing Roelofs and began swinging the metal bars with his left hand, similar to a batter’s stance in baseball. Roelofs maintained his handgun in his right hand, pointed at Taylor, and retrieved his Taser with his left hand. Roelofs again ordered Taylor to put the pipe down. Taylor did not comply. Officer Roelofs then discharged his Taser striking Taylor. Taylor did not fall and appeared unaffected by the Taser. Officer Roelofs ordered Taylor to drop the pipe, and the officer then dropped the Taser. Officer Roelofs again ordered Taylor, “drop it.” Taylor appeared to reach for the Taser probes pulling one out of his body a moment before Officer Roelofs fired his weapon twice and Taylor fell to the floor. Approximately 32 seconds passed from the time Officer Roelofs exited his vehicle to make contact with Taylor to the time of the officer involved shooting. SAPD Officer Marshall also responded to the call. Officer Marshall at the time of the call had an off-duty San Bernardino Sheriff’s Deputy, John Doe 2, as a ride along. While Officer Marshall was going up the ramp of the structure, he heard Officer Roelofs put out on the radio that he had one individual at gunpoint. As Officer Marshall arrived to the second level of the parking structure, he observed Officer Roelofs with his gun pointed at Taylor. Officer Marshall observed Taylor standing on the passenger side of the vehicle with a metal bar and piece of wire in his hands. Officer Marshall heard Officer Roelofs give a command to Taylor, something to the effect of “stay back, or . . . drop the weapon.” Officer Marshall stated that, it appeared as though Taylor was approaching Officer Roelofs. Officer Marshall observed Officer Roelofs fire two shots, and Taylor falling to the ground. Officer Marshall exited his patrol vehicle, and activated his BWC, and met Officer Roelofs near the trunk of Officer Roelof’s patrol car. Officer Marshall advised over his police radio of the officer involved shooting. John Doe 2 remained in the front passenger seat of the vehicle when the shooting occurred. He relayed that as he and Officer Marshall arrived on the scene, he observed Taylor holding the metal bar like a batter’s stance. John Doe 2 described Taylor as “looking angry, intoxicated, and resembled someone under the influence of methamphetamine.” He heard Officer Roelofs order Taylor to put the pipe down, observed Taylor take a step toward Officer Roelofs, and he saw Officer Roelofs shoot Taylor twice. John Doe 2 stated that he had a clear and unobstructed view of the shooting from where he was seated in the vehicle. SAPD Sergeant Oropeza arrived on the scene seconds after the shooting, and described seeing Officer Roelofs pointing his gun at Taylor, who was lying on his back. Sergeant Oropeza made contact with Officers Roelofs and Marshall, and they waited for two additional officers to arrive before approaching Taylor. SAPD Officer Griffith arrived on scene, and Sergeant Oropeza assigned himself, Officers Marshall and Griffith to be the arrest team. As the three approached Taylor, Officer Griffith kicked the two metal pieces away from Taylor and administered medical treatment until OCFA authorities arrived on scene to relieve them. Paramedics arrived on the scene and observed Taylor handcuffed and lying on his back near the middle of the patrol vehicle. Paramedics continued CPR and placed Taylor on a Zoll monitor and ventilated Taylor with oxygen. Around 11:50 p.m., Taylor was placed in a CARE ambulance and transported to Orange County Global Medical Center in Santa Ana, where he received emergency care. At 12:25 a.m., Taylor was pronounced dead.
