Smith Other Agency:OCDA Officer:Officer W. Sweet #1805 Involvement:Other Agency:SAPD Narrative: On April 1, 2015 at approximately 1231 hours I conducted a digitally recorded interview with Santa Ana Police Officer W. Sweet. The interview was in regards to an officer involved shooting which occurred on March ll'h, 2015, in which Officer Sweet was involved in. Also t in the interview was Investi ator R an Smith of the e Co District Attorn 's Office and Officer Sweet's legal counsel Attorney at Law, Charles Goldwasser. Officer Sweet stated on the day of the incident he was working uniformed patrol, driving a marked black and white patrol vehicle. Officer Sweet also stated he was working with a partner, Reserve Officer DeMarco. Office Sweet was the driver and Officer De Demarco was the passenger. Officer Sweet monitored a radio call of a shooting call in the 800 block of south Cypress Avenue. Officer Sweet responded from the area of 15' Street and Bristol Street. The suspect vehicle description was given as a white Toyota pickup truck. While responding to the call he monitors another radio broadcast from Officer David Garcia, stating he had located the suspect vehicle and was following north on Main Street. Officer Sweet drove to Officer Garcia and followed behind him. The suspect vehicle abruptly stopped in the northbound lanes of 400 S. Main Street, at which point a high risk vehicle stop was conducted. Officer Sweet stated that his position during the incident was at the driver's side of his vehicle, taking a position behind his opened driver's door. Upon additional units arriving to the location, the officers began to order the suspect out of the vehicle. During this tiine, Officer Sweet could clearly observe the driver (suspect) was armed with a handgun. Officer Garcia gave verbal commands in English and Spanish ordering the suspect to drop the gun. The suspect ignored Officer Garcia's commands and after approximately 10 minutes http://ir3/IR2.Web/Repoit.aspx?action=editreport&reportid=550000000000274092&useri... 5/21/2015 S,4ta Ana PD 2015-06456: Supplemental Report by #2978 Page 3 of 3 Prior to the shot, the suspect did not make any demands or comply with any commands given by Officer Garcia. Officer Sweet described the suspect "didn't say a word". Officer Sweet further described that as the shot sounded, Officer Sweet believed the suspect went unconscious, simultaneously the car engine revved up. After the shot, Officer Sweet could see the suspect was still conscious and moving about. At about this time, the car engine stopped revving and returned to an idle. Officer Sweet and other officers formed a team to approach the passenger side of the vehicle. As they approached, the suspect turned towards the direction of the officers and placed the gun down, at which point he produced a cellphone. Officer Sweet observed the suspect to be bleeding around the cheek area. The team of officers retreated back to their original positions. The suspect then engaged in a conversation with an rinknown person on the phone. Officer Sweet estimated the phone conversation took approximately 90 seconds. Officer Sweet stated all the vehicle windows appeared to be in the closed position. Also during this time, Officer Garcia continued to give verbal cornrnands in Spanish and English. The suspect put down the cellphone and appeared to be gathering himself. The suspect then picked the gun back up, opened the driver's door, kicking it open and exited the vehicle with gun in his right hand. Officer Sweet described the manner in which the suspect exited the vehicle as confidently. At this time, several officers yelled "Grin". Upon seeing the suspect armed with the gun, Officer Sweet believed that the suspect was going to shoot at him and/or other officers, endangering nearby citizens. Officer Sweet discharged his duty pistol a Glock 22,.40 caliber, semi-arito pistol. Officer Sweet recalls firing three shots at the suspect. After firing his shots, the suspect immediately fell to the ground, landing on his side and face area. At this point the suspect appeared to be incapacitated. Shortly after the suspect was down on the ground, Sgt Humphries approached the suspect utilizing a ballistic shield for protection. Other officers trailed behind Sgt Humphries and confirmed the suspect was incapacitated. Officer Sweet was not injured in the incident and he did not have physical contact with the suspect. Additionally, at no time during this incident did the suspect attempt or make any type of verbal or non-verbal communications with officers. Investigator Smith displayed an overview photo depicting the location of police vehicles and the suspect --Gehicle-.-Office:r Sweet-atte-mpteJ- to i tify his patrol vehicle and its placement at the time of the shooting. Also, at the request of Investigator Smith, Officer explained protocol for an enforcement vehicle stop commonly referred to as a "routine traffic stop" versus the protocol for conducting a high- risk vehicle stop, commonly referred to as a "felony stop". Also at the time of the shooting, Officer Sweet was unaware that a total of (5) Santa Ana Police Officer discharged their weapons. He later learned this fact during the subsequent investigation. Officer Sweet agreed the only prior knowledge he had of the incident, was that he was responding to Felony Crime, which just occurred, where the suspect was believed to be armed with a firearm and fleeing the scene. Officer Sweet also stated in his 28 years of experience, that most officer involved shootings occur within only a few seconds. Officer Sweet also stated that in his experience a compliant suspect will follow verbal commands verbatim, including the command of discarding the firearm, prior to exiting the vehicle. He further described, it is not normal behavior for a compliant suspect to exit the vehicle with a gun in hand. When asked, Officer Sweet stated he was not provided an opportunity to view any of the video surveillance footage of the incident, prior to this interview. At this point Officer Sweet had no further information and the interview was concluded. End of Report. Det. C.

At the beginning of the interview we introduced ourselves to nd obtained his personal information as listed above. We then asked him to provide any and all infornnation he held in regard to the OIS we were investigating. In response, told us the following. It should be noted that at the time of our interview Osorio's vehicle was stopped in the northbound lanes of 200 S. Main Street, facing north, and positioned just north of the building within which we conducted our interview. identified himself as the of The Mill Bakery. He then told us that immediately prior to the shooting he was in the rear/kitchen area of the business. While there, he was alerted to a commotion/police activity occuring in front of the business. When he responded to the front of the bakery, he saw "the white truck" stopped on the street with several police officers (five (5) to six (6) in number) standing behind it. These officers, in addition, were standing outside of their respective police cars and pointing their weapons at this vehicle. As made these statements, he gesticulated toward ihefrontofthelocationandindicatedthattheyehiclewasstillpar-ked-ther-e. B-ythis motion, and vehicle description, I understood him to be speaking of Osorio's pick-up. Upon ariving to the dining/sales area of the bakery, and noting the police activity, directed his staff to close the front door. As he continued to view the activity, for a period of approximately ten (10) minutes, saw that an occupant of the vehicle was preparing to exit. From his vantage point, however, could not ascertain exactly what this person was doing while seated inside of the pick-up. He did not, however, relate this inability to see directly to the window tint of the vehicle as the coloring was only half-way dark. As the person described above subsequently exited the vehicle, could see that he was covered in blood especially in the area of his face. He also described this person as being of his approximately height (5 1/2 feet tall), of medium build, light brown to medium brown skin complexion and dressed in a red shirt. By this description, I believed to be speaking of Osorio. As Osorio continued to exit the vehicle, could see that he had a black medium size framed pistol in his hands. While making this statement made the hand gesture as if holding a gun with both hands. further indicated that Osorio was pointing the weapon at the ground after exiting his truck.

After turning in a counter-clockwise rotation, Osorio faced the officers behind him. also negated any notion that he heard Osorio speaking to the officers he faced at this time nor hearing/seeing Osorio fire his weapon at the officers present. After approximately thirty (30) seconds, heard the sound of shooting, after which Osorio fell to the ground. When asked to approximate the number of shots fired by the officers, stated that he heard three (3). After the shooting, the officers on scene approached Osorio, removed the weapon from his hand/possession, and rolled him over. Soon after this activity, the paramedics arrived and treated Osorio on scene. During this time period, did not see Osorio moving of his own free will. returned to the rear of the business in order to secure the door(s) and then went about his normal routine. When asked by whom he was initially advised of the police activity, responded by identifying " By mention of this name, I understood him to be speaking of We also asked if he heard the police officers making any cornrnands prior to the shooting.

We then asked him to provide any and all information he held in regard to the OIS we were investigating. In response, told us the following. It should be noted that at the time of our interview Osorio's vehicle was stopped in the northbound lanes of 200 S, Main Street, facing north, and positioned just north of the building within which we conducted our interview. told us that he had been working at The Mill Bakery for approximately one (1) month and, on the date of the OIS, started his shift, inclusive of maintenance and cleaning duties, at approximately 0900 hours. Between the 1200 hours and 1300 hours, he was in the front of the bakery positioned between the service counter and dining area. From his vantage point he had a clear view through the front window of the establishment. While looking tmough said window, saw a white truck stop in the street: Main Street. As he relayed this information, motioned toward the front of the Mill Bakery. By mention of this vehicle, I inferred that was speaking of Osorio's pick-up truck. As the vehicle sto a dit. A s he continued viewing the activity, heard the sound of voice yelling at the occupant of this truck. He further indicated that these voices were emanating from the police. When asked to elaborate on the statements made by the officers, told us that he could not be more specific as his hearing was impaired due to the door to the business being closed. After a short while, saw a male Hispanic wearing a red sweater exit the aforementioned truck. He also described this person as having blood on his forehead and being unsteadily balanced in his stance, appearing "Dizzy." By mention of this person, I believed to be speaking of Osorio. further indicated that he had a full view of Osorio's person as he (Osorio) initially faced the front of the bakery upon exiting his vehicle. Soon after Osorio exited his vehicle, heard at least three (3) officers yelling at him in English. When asked what these officers were yelling, stated that he heard them making statements consistent with, "Don't do it!" These officers were making these commands for approximately two (2) to three (3) minutes. During this portion of our interview, also mentioned that as Osorio exited his vehicle he held a Gray colored handgun in his left hand. This handgun, furthermore, was continually pointed toward the ground while in Osorio's possession. also noted that Osorio http://ir3/IR2.Web/Report.aspx?action=editreport&reportid=55000000000... 5/14/2015 Santa Ana PD 2015-06456: Supplemental Report by #2770 Page 4 of 4 was utilizing his other hand to speak on a cellular phone. At this time, heard multiple (approximately eight (8)) gunshots and saw Osorio being shot several times, with bullets flying through his sweater. After being struck by the gunfire, Osorio fell to his laiees and then fell forward to the ground. After Osorio was lying in a prone position, saw the police approach and handcuff him. While he did not see the officers shooting, due to his attention being focused on Osorio, estimated the numbers of officers involved in the OIS to be approximately eight (8) and approximated their distance from Osorio to be one car length. As we discussed observations of Osorio while inside of his vehicle, he told us that he could only see Osorio's head while seated there. While viewing him in this position, saw that Osorio appeared to be using a cellular phone, as mentioned above, as if speaking with someone. This he could see quite clearly due to the fact that Osorio's vehicle window was rolled down at the time. also saw Osorio chamber a round in what appeared to be a handgun while in the vehicle; and, soon after doing so, heard one (l) gunshot emanate from inside the truck.

Quijas a picture of the scene in order to point out the police vehicle she was riding in at the time of the incident. The following is a summary of the incident. Officer N. Quijas told us they were in the northeast portion of the city when a call came out of a shooting that just occurred. Officer N. Quijas stated the information by dispatch was very detailed. As they were driving towards the area they began receiving information via police radio regarding the suspect and the suspect vehicle. Officer N. Quijas remembers hearing that the shooting occurred on Bishop or Chestnut. They stated the suspect was wearing a red sweater driving a white truck. Officer N. Quijas said as they continued driving to the location she heard an officer over the radio say he had the suspect vehicle. Officer N. Quijas said she turned on Main Street heading southbound and at this time saw the motor officer behind the white truck. Officer N. Quijas said as she continued driving sorithbound she looked to her left and saw the red sweat shirt and her partner also made the comment. Officer N. Quijas said they made a U-turn and they got behind the vehicle at which time they are now facing northborind. Officer N. Quijas said they assumed the primary position behind the truck. They activated their lights and the vehicle stopped. At this time they knew they had a suspect who had shot at someone not knowing if someone was hit. At this time she began to give verbal commands to the driver to tiirn the car off, let me see your hands but he was not responding. She said her partner Officer D. Garcia who is a fluent Spanish speaker took over the verbal corniuands, but the subject was not responding. Officer N. Quijas said she saw the subject get a silver semi-automatic handgun and saw the subject rack the gun to chamber a round. They continue to give him comi'nands, but he was not following the commands. Officer N. Quijas saw the subject bring the gun up to his chin while her partner continued giving commands. Officer N. Quijas said the subject fired one rorind hitting himself somewhere in the face. After he shot liimself they heard the engine reeve as if his foot was on the gas pedal. Officer N. Quijas said within a few minutes the engine stops reeving and she figures the subject is not dead. She observes the subject lean back on the seat. Officer N. Quijas observed the suspect wipe the blood off his face as Officer D. Garcia continued to give him commands and asking him to exit the vehicle, which he did. When the suspect exit the vehicle he was facing north bound then he turned his body facing south bound towards them. Officer N. Quijas said as he turned towards them she was able to see he still had thegun in his hand-and Officer-D.-Garcia-cont-inued-to-giyecornrnands.-She-bel-igved-thei-subject-was going to put the weapon down and surrender, but instead he stood rip from a crouch position with the weapon in his left hand and pointed it at them. Officer N. Quijas said at this time she fired two rounds in the subject's direction. Investigator R. Smith asked Officer N. Quijas if she saw the subject do anything else after he wiped the blood from his face and she said, "Yes." It looked like the subject was trying to make a phone call. She said she saw him with the phone in his hand. Officer N. Quijas was ttaying to see if it was a gun or the phone she believed the phone was white in color. Officer N. Quijas was able to identify the object as the phone. She said when the subject stepped out of the vehicle he had the gru'i in his left hand. She said the subject was hunched down and the gun was at thigh level at first. Officer N. Quijas said the subject stood up and pointed the gun towards their direction. Investigator R. Smith asked Officer N. Quijas if when the subject stood up was she able to clearly see him armed with the gun and she said, "Yes." Investigator R. Smith asked Officer N. Quijas if he dropped the gun and she said, "No." Investigator R. Smith asked Officer N. Quijas if he began to raise it and she said, "Yes." Investigator R. Smith asked Officer N. Quijas why she shot. Officer N. Quijas said she shot because she had information he had committed a shooting, based on the information provided, multiple callers they had received and based on her experience this was something serious. Officer N. Quijas said he then also tried to kill himself. Officer N. Quijas described this as almost being text book suicide by cop. Officer N. Quijas explained that this subject was determined to do anything to die on that day. Officer N. Quijas believed that by him pointing the gun towards them he would fire rounds in order for us to kill him. Officer N.
