been taking the medication ³every day´for the past two or three years. He last took the medication ³like a <br />couple days ago.´Alvarado told us that he was hearing voices and seeing shadows last night, including <br />when the incident occurred. <br />Alvarado told us that he ran from the police last night. Alvarado ³always´runs from the police when he sees <br />them. After seeing the police, Alvarado ran ³to that aisle.´After arriving at the aisle, Alvarado stated, ³I <br />ended up on the floor.´Alvarado did not know how he ended up on the floor of the aisle. He decided to lie <br />down on the floor for some unknown reason. The officer did not tell him to lie on the floor and he did not say <br />anything to the officer. <br />Alvarado denied knowledge regarding the gun that was on the ground beside him. He only ran because he <br />saw the police. Alvarado stated, ³I don¶t have a gun.´Alvarado denied having the gun found beside him or <br />knowledge of where it came from. When asked if someone else put the gun beside him, Alvarado replied, <br />³I¶m not gonna say nothing else.´To say something further would be ³snitching.´Alvarado indicated that he <br />understood DNA and his DNA would not be located on the gun. <br />Alvarado said he only carried knives and not firearms. Alvarado stated, ³To be honest. Me, I just carry <br />knives.´He had been arrested for having a gun ³just one time.´ <br />Alvarado then indicated that he did not remember anything. He stated, ³I remember nothing.´He did not <br />recall the gun found next to him being fired. Alvarado stated, ³Nothing happened man.´He denied firing the <br />gun. He did not know who fired the gun or how it ended up next to him. Alvarado told me to check the DNA <br />on the gun. <br />Alvarado said he did not know why ³God or the devil´chose him. He continued, ³I just think everything¶s bull <br />shit man.´ <br />Alvarado denied that he was trying to kill police officers or that either God or the devil instructed him to kill <br />police officers. Alvarado stated, ³I didn¶t shoot at all.´Alvarado continued, ³I was just trying to get some <br />heroin.´He then ³ended up in the hospital.´Alvarado said, ³I ended up on the floor´because ³I threw myself <br />on the floor.´He threw himself on the floor because he was in pain, but he did not know why he was in <br />pain. <br />Alvarado said that ³police officers are supposed to have cameras on them.´Alvarado indicated that ³he <br />should be on the cameras.´Alvarado continued, ³How can they (referring to cameras) not capture <br />everything?´Alvarado again denied shooting at officers or ³shooting at all.´Alvarado said, ³I have nothing <br />against officers, man.´ <br />Alvarado then told us that a police vehicle was not in the alley. Alvarado stated, ³There was no cop car in <br />the alley.´Alvarado continued, ³I didn¶t see no cop cars.´Alvarado only observed a green Camry. He <br />stated, ³I seen like a green Camry.´He continued, ³I seen a green Camry pass by.´After the Camry passed <br />by, an officer ran towards him. Alvarado stated, ³I guess there¶s a cop, like, running towards me or <br />something.´ <br />Alvarado said he was located within the alley situated between Cedar Street and Evergreen Street. I <br />showed Alvarado an overhead ³Google Maps´satellite image of the location of the incident. Alvarado <br />initially indicated that he was ³blind,´but he had never had his vision tested. He acknowledged, however, <br />that he could see the map I provided to him. <br />Alvarado pointed to the east side of the west alley of 1800 S. Evergreen Street just north of Occidental <br />Street to indicate where he had been standing. He refused to utilize a pen to mark the location on the map. <br />He then stated, ³I didn¶t shoot at no officers or anything, man.´He continued, ³You know I didn¶t shoot no <br />officers.´Alvarado then stated, ³The officers were right next to me.´He subsequently said the officer was <br />not next to him. Alvarado proceeded to discuss how he was not a snitch. He had an opportunity to snitch <br />like ³Martin Luther King´when he was arrested recently but stated, ³I don¶t snitch on no one.´Despite that <br />³it probably wasn¶t right,´Alvarado was not going to say anything. He continued, ³I¶m not gonna pull no <br />fuckin¶lawsuit or anything like that. I ain¶t.´ <br />Santa Ana PD 2019-05804 4 of 6
