S.A. 15-005 <br />Investigator: ERIC WISEMAN Approved By: <br />Date of Report: 03/17/2015 Date: 03/20/2015 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Cypress Street. Further information indicated that two men were involved in a fight and one was <br />armed with a firearm and shots had been fired. Additional information was relayed that one of the <br />suspects was leaving the scene in a white, possibly a Nissan or Toyota pick-up truck. <br />DEMARCO and SWEET began responding to the area of the shooting when they heard SAPD <br />Motor Officer JIM BERWANGER, broadcast that he was in the area of Chestnut Avenue and Bishop <br />Street, heading westbound toward Main Street, following the vehicle possibly involved in the <br />shooting incident. DEMARCO and SWEET turned southbound onto Main Street from Pine Street. <br />Shortly after, DEMARCO saw a white Toyota Tacoma, turn northbound Main Street with Officer <br />BERWANGER following behind. Officer BERWANGER radioed to DEMARCO and SWEET’S unit, <br />driving southbound on Main Street approaching him, that this was the suspect vehicle involved in <br />the shooting. <br />Traffic was extremely heavy on northbound Main Street, with traffic stopped in both lanes <br />between First Street and Pine Street. DEMARCO and SWEET activated their overhead lights and <br />made a U-turn from southbound Main Street to northbound Main Street, stopping approximately <br />25 to 30 yards behind the suspect vehicle that was now stopped in the number two lane of South <br />Main Street, due to the heavy traffic. DEMARCO and SWEET exited their vehicle and removed their <br />service weapons from their holsters, taking a position of cover behind the driver and front <br />passenger doors. DEMARCO was on the passenger side of the vehicle. Other units immediately <br />arrived. <br />Officer BERWANGER parked on the grass area east of DEMARCO’S unit, on the eastside of <br />South Main Street. The officer, who was stopped directly to their west, began calling out <br />commands to the driver of the Toyota Tacoma, later identified as BENITO OSORIO. This officer then <br />advised that OSORIO had a gun up to his head and ordered him numerous times to, “drop your gun, <br />drop your gun, it’s not worth it.” DEMARCO believed that SAPD Officer ENRIQUEZ was the officer
