S.A. 15-005 <br />Investigator: VIVIAN TABB Approved By: <br />Date of Report:03/30/2015 Date: 05/20/2015 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />ENRIQUEZ was with MAJORS at Grand Avenue and McFadden Avenue, and responded to the <br />incident location in his patrol vehicle also. <br /> As MAJORS responded to the call, he heard over the police radio Officer JAMES <br />BERWANGER had located the suspect vehicle, a white Toyota truck, which had been described <br />as the vehicle occupied by the shooter. MAJORS drove northbound Main Street from <br />McFadden Avenue. He saw other units had stopped the suspect vehicle northbound Main <br />Street, just north of Chestnut Avenue. As MAJORS drove through Chestnut Avenue, he drove <br />west of the other police units that were stopped on Main Street that were blocking the <br />northbound lanes and stopped in the number one southbound lane, facing northbound. <br />MAJORS’ objective was to stop southbound traffic, so they would have to turn onto Pine <br />Avenue, which was north of the car stop. MAJORS took a position behind the driver’s door of <br />his vehicle. <br />MAJORS saw the male suspect, later identified as BENITO OSORIO, in the driver’s seat of <br />the truck, through the driver’s window which was rolled down. OSORIO was the sole occupant <br />of the vehicle. After a few minutes, MAJORS saw OSORIO hold a semi-automatic handgun up in <br />the air and rack a round into the chamber twice. The officers gave the following commands to <br />OSORIO, “Don’t do it, don’t do it, put the gun down” in both English and Spanish. MAJORS <br />yelled to the other officers that OSORIO had just racked and chambered the handgun twice. <br />MAJORS saw OSORIO look out of the driver’s window, looking back towards him and the other <br />officers. Due to MAJORS’ height, he stood over the light bar of his patrol vehicle. Officer <br />MAJORS was concerned the lights from the light bar may silhouette him; and because the lights <br />were right in his eyes he reached into his vehicle and turned the light bar off. He was also <br />concerned the suspect may fire rounds randomly at the lights.
