On 12/01/24, I was working uniformed patrol for the Santa Ana Police Department with Officer T. Holt as my partner. At approximately 1733 hours, we responded to the area of 2nd St and Broadway. Santa Ana Police Officers had broadcasted over the radio they were involved in a shooting. Officer T. Holt and I responded from the area of Newhope St and Kent Ave. We arrived on scene at approximately 1737 hours. It should be noted that during the incident my department issued AXON 3 body work camera (BWC) was activated and recording. All statements made below are a summary of the facts and circumstances that shall not be taken as all-encompassing of the event. Any breaks in BWC footage was to speak with fellow officers regarding the investigation. For exact dialogue and sequence of events see BWC footage. Upon our arrival, I observed a male subject laying on his back. The subject was on the westside of the sidewalk at approximately 116 N Broadway. Officers on scene advised the subject had a firearm underneath his body. Santa Ana Police Officers formulated a game plan to safely approach the subject and take him into custody. Once the subject was taken into custody and the scene was safe, I returned to my patrol vehicle and retrieved medical equipment in an effort to provide life saving treatment to the subject. However, Orange County Fire Authority had arrived on scene at this point and taken over medical care of the subject. Orange County Fire Authority later transported the subject to Orange County Global Medical Center. I maintained a position in the northwest corner of 1st St and Broadway in an effort to preserve the scene of the incident from any pedestrians or vehicle. I was released from the scene at approximately 0059 hours. This concluded my involvement in the above incident. Officer D.
