SA 13-015 Investigator: L. Dawson Approved By: Date of Report: 11/20/13 Date: 11/20/2013 Page 15 of 25 During roll call, SAPD Sergeant RAUL RIVERA briefed the officers regarding an Orange Police Department “Wanted Person” for homicide. The bulletin identified JESSICA GONZALEZ as the wanted person, and indicated she used a .38 caliber handgun during the commission of the homicide. The “Wanted Person” bulletin was distributed to all SAPD patrol officers. At approximately 0800 hours, AYALA and ESQUIVEL conducted a patrol check in the 800 block of South Townsend Street, city of Santa Ana. The patrol check was in reference to a possible gang related stabbing that occurred a few days earlier. AYALA drove southbound in the east alley of South Townsend Street, while ESQUIVEL drove southbound on South Townsend Street. During the patrol check, AYALA observed an opened garage on the west side of the alley that faced north, later identified as 805 South Townsend Street, garage #1. There were two males and two females inside the garage. There were beer cans and tagging inside the garage. AYALA believed the subjects were “parolee-type subjects,” and possibly Townsend Street gang members. As AYALA drove southbound past garage #1, a male Hispanic, bald head with baggy clothing, waved at AYALA. AYALA met with ESQUIVEL at the end of the alley at McFadden Avenue to discuss the subjects in garage #1. AYALA and ESQUIVEL decided to return to 805 South Townsend Street, garage #1 to contact the four subjects. AYALA drove northbound in the alley and ESQUIVEL drove behind AYALA. AYALA and ESQUIVEL located garage #1, and AYALA parked his police vehicle (#880) on the east side of the alley, facing northbound, slightly north of garage #1. ESQUIVEL parked his police vehicle (#854) directly behind AYALA’S police vehicle.
