Santa Ana, County of Orange. At approximately 1732 hours, Downtown Patrol Unit "823 Alpha" broadcasted over <br />Green 1 Dispatch that they located a suspect with a firearm in the area of Broadway and 2nd St. Shortly thereafter, <br />they broadcasted that an Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) had just occurred. I responded from the area of McFadden <br />Av and Grand Av and arrived on scene at approximately 1735 hours. <br />The following investigation was captured on my department issued AXON body worn camera (BWC). All <br />statements made below are a summary of the facts and circumstances that shall not be taken as all- <br />encompassing of the event. For exact dialogue and sequence of events please refer to my BWC footage. Any <br />cessation of BWC footage may be the result of privacy concerns or inter-Officer communication. <br />Upon my arrival, several Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) Officers were taking cover behind patrol vehicle #860, <br />which was parked facing northwest in the south bound lanes of Broadway, just north of 1st St. I observed the male <br />suspect lying on his back on the west side walk of Broadway, partially within an alcove between the parking garage of <br />the "Artist Village" apartment complex and the "Casa Linda Furniture" store. <br />Officers on scene advised that the suspect was in possession of a shotgun, which was positioned underneath his <br />body. At this time, Officers began giving the suspect commands to crawl toward the patrol vehicle but received no <br />response. An arrest team was formulated on the driver side of the patrol vehicle while additional commands were <br />given. Less lethal munitions were deployed but the suspect was still unresponsive. The patrol vehicle was then used <br />as a cover while the arrest team advanced toward the suspect's location in order to secure the firearm and take the <br />suspect into custody. Upon our approach, I maintained lethal coverage of the suspect and observed the shotgun <br />positioned on the left side of the suspect's body, near his left hand. I relayed this information to my partners as they <br />made contact with him. The shotgun was black in color, with a brown stock and brown forearm. While wearing <br />protective gloves, I assisted in retrieving the firearm from Corporal Miranda #3528 and placed it on the ground <br />approximately 30 feet south of the suspect's location on the west sidewalk of Broadway. It was later determined that <br />the shotgun was a replica firearm. I was directed by Sergeant McClasky #3110 to remain with with replica firearm until <br />relieved of my post by Sergeant Barragan #2937. <br />At this time, Sergeant Barragan requested information from an SAPD arrest made on November 26th, 2024, at 0035 <br />hours, reference a male suspect with a handgun in the area of 4th St and Broadway. Please reference SAPD case <br />#2024-25754 for further details regarding the incident and subsequent arrest of a male suspect that appeared to be <br />the same individual from the OIS that had just occurred. I relayed the information to Sergeant Barragan and <br />maintained a position in the area northwest corner of 1st St and Broadway for continued scene security. <br />I was released from the scene by Sergeant McClasky on Monday, December 2nd, 2024, at 0102 hours. <br />This concluded my role in this incident. <br />Officer T.
