Santa Ana PD 2013-17495: Supplemental Report by #2979 Page 2 of2 Upon arrival, I observed two officers pointing their weapons at a subject lying on the ground. The subject, a Hispanic female, was bleeding and appeared to be unresponsive. A replica pistol was lying on the ground approximately 5 feet from her. I directed the officers to handcuff the subject. I took command of the scene and coordinated a search of 805 S. Townsend garage #1. The garage was adjacent to were the suspect was laying and the search was in progress when I arrived. I also monitored a search of the carport area between the garages. I deemed the scene secure at 08 I 4 hours. I requested medics respond to the area and to enter from the north side of the alley. While waiting for paramedics to arrive, I identified Officer Ayala #3294 and Esquivel #3 295 as being involved in the shooting. With both officers together, I obtained an "officer safety statement" from them. They told me that there were no outstanding suspects and that collectively they had fired 10-12 rounds in a northerly and westerly direction. I then directed Corporal Enriquez to transport the officers to the police station. Orange County Fire Authority Engine #73 responded to the scene and began life saving measures on the subject. The subject was then transported by Care Ambulance #299 to UCI Hospital. I was later advised that she was pronounced deceased at 0855 hours. A search of the area was conducted to ensure that no other people had been shot. The search lo cated several bullet holes in garage door #0 at 805 S . Townsend. Garage #0 was secured with a lock on the outside. I directed officers to cut the lock and search the garage to ensure there were no injured people inside. A search was conducted and no one was located in the garage. I maintained control of the crime scene and directed officers to secure the scene with crime scene tape . By doing so , an inner and outer perimeters were established which further secured the integrity of the scene. I assigned officers to perimeter po sitions at the crime scene as well. I also directed officers to do a canvass of the area in order to ensure that no witnesses had been struck by gunfire. Officers contacted citizens in the immediate area and in apartments surrounding the crime scene. I relinquished command of the scene to Sergeant Flynn upon his arrival. I briefed Sergeant Flynn on the circumstances of the incident. I cleared the scene at 1601 hours. http://ir2/Report.aspx?userid=2979&reportid=550000000000158753&recordtype=Narrativ... 6/23/20 13
