Page 8 Internal File# OIS 2013-06 A female appeared in Officer Esquivel's view and was moving toward Officer Ayala as he was shooting and yelling , "Gun , Gun, Gun!" The female suspect appeared as if she were chasing Officer Ayala. Officer Esquivel said, "I was in fear for his life at that point and I engaged the female with my service weapon." Officer Esquivel stated that the female suspect collapsed in the middle of the alley. I asked Officer Esquivel if Officer Ayala relayed to him if there were any occupants in either of the open garages and he said yes. I explained to Officer Esquivel that there are two alleys that T-intersect, east of Townsend Street and just north of McFadden Avenue. I asked Officer Esquivel if he met Officer Ayala in the east / west alley, before they went to check the open garages. Officer Esquivel said he drove southbound Townsend Street and then made an eastbound turn into an alley. I asked Officer Esquivel who was the lead vehicle as they made their way northbound . Officer Esquivel was the lead vehicle initially, until they reached the first open garage. Once at the first open garage, Officer Esquivel spoke to a couple occupants from his vehicle, through his open driver's side front window. Officer Ayala took the lead position as they drove toward the second open garage. They did this so they could stop short of the cutout on the west side of the alley. I asked Officer Esquivel to estimate how many buildings north was the second open garage from the first open garage and he said approximately three . I asked Officer Esquivel if he could see anyone standing outside the second open garage from the first open garage. Officer Esquivel said no, because the first open garage was located in the east I west alley before they turned to go northbound. I asked Officer Esquivel if Officer Ayala stopped his vehicl e just south of the open garage door and he said yes. I asked Officer Esquivel if he exited his car at the same time as Officer Ayala and he said no, just moments after. I asked Officer Esquivel if Officer Ayala immediately yelled gun as he turned the corner toward the open garage door, or was th ere some lag time. Officer Esquivel said that Office r Ayala yell ed gun immediately as he rounded the corner. I asked Officer Esquivel how far he was from Officer Ayala when he heard him yell gun . Officer Esquive l estimated the distance to be between 10 to 15 feet. I asked Officer Esquivel if Officer Ayala ran toward him as he ran away from the open garage door. Officer Esquivel said that Officer Ayala ran eastbound, toward the police vehicle that he had just exited. I asked Officer Esquivel if Officer Ayala ran around the front of his vehicle or the rear and he said the front. Insp ector Gon za lez asked Offi ce r Esquivel if he and his partner were hugging the east sid e of th e alley as they drove north a nd he said yes.
