An alleyway ran east arid west from the east side of Main Street between the building at 815 S. Main

was bordered on the sorithwest side by a single story residence at 819 'A S. Main Street, behind the
Mariscos EI Cangrejo "Nice" restarirant.
Beige brick retaining walls, approximately six feet in lieight, ran along the nortli and south sides of the
parking lot. A green wroright-iron rolling gate bordered the east side of the parking lot. A driveway on
the east side of the parking lot at the gate led directly onto 800 S. Cypress Avenue. The parking lot
consisted of seventeen parking stalls on the noitl'i side of the parking lot delineated by wite painted
lines on the asphalt. Tliere were no marked parking stalls on the soutli side of the parking lot.

On 03/1 1/15, I was on patrol with Ofc. Greaver #3057 in a marked, black and white, Santa
Aria Police unit. We were dressed in a modified police uniform consisting of a blue polo sliirt with blue
jeans and orir Sam Browne belts around our waists. The blue polo shirts have a screen printed badge on

tlie left breast, two Santa Ana Police Department patches 011 eitlier shoulder, and the words, "Santa Ana
Police" written across the back in white lettering. At approximately 1251 hours, we overlieard a call
being dispatclied at 814 S. Cypress regarding a struggle between two individuals over a firearm. Given
the circumstances of the call, we begin to travel in the direction of the call for service. The call was
updated and the suspect was said to have fled with the firearm in a white truck. Several nearby officers
located the truck and a traffic stop was initiated at the intersection of Pine/Main. An officer involved
sliooting occuned while we were en route to assist. For more information refer to tl'ie other reports under
the same case number.
Rather tlian respond to the scene, we responded to the original call for service at 814 S. Cypress
in an effort to locate tlie initial victim. As we turned south on Cypress from Bishop, I observed several
people with their arms waving over their head in what appeared to be an attempt to get our attention. As
I exited our vehicle, I observed two subjects come up to me; one was later identified as Albeito
Mendoza and the other as was very animated, yelling frantically and
pointing towards Alberto, saying, "He was just shot at!" When I looked at Alberto I could see lie was
overwlielmed. He was moving around rapidly and breathing lieavy. His eyes were wide and lie was
going from being doubled over to standing strait rip.
I iminediately asceitained if Alberto had actually been liit witli any bullets and determined l'ie
liad not. I asked him to show me where this altercation occurred and he showed me to the parking
lot/alley just soutli of the apartment complex at 814 S. Cypress. This alley way is an east/west alley way
whicli runs from Cypress to Main Street. Towards the east end which opens onto Cypress there is
parking available for vehicles on the noitli side, presumably overflow parking for the apartments. On the
west poition of tlie alley are businesses on the north side and a restaurant on the soutli side. An
additional alley way intersects to form a "T." This delineates tlie restaurant on the west witl'i the
residences on tlie east. According to Alberto, it was in this alley where liis altercation with the suspect
took place. However, tlie altercation was fluid and led to the eastern portion of the alley way as well.
After speaking with Albeito, I learned he liad been involved in a physical altercation witli a
suspect wl'iom lie identified as Benito Osorio. This physical altercation resulted in Osorio using a
lian described as be' a silver in color semi-automatic ssib a.45 caliber to shoot one time at
Alberto. Osorio then fled the scene in a wliite Toyota Tacoma. For more information, refer to the
detective's supplemental repoit under the same case nui'nber.
During an area search, I came upon again. I asked her if slie knew either the
victim or tlie suspect and she told me she did. I asked her who she knew and she said, "Him." As she did
tliis, she pointed to Alberto wlio was standing next to my police unit with Cpl. Mendoza #2934. I asked
lier how slie knew him and she told me he was her friend of two years. She further explained to me slie
liad met him because lie owns the nearby taco truck. I asked her if she saw wliat happened and slie said,
"No." I asked her if she knew the otl'ier man involved in the altercation and slie said, "No." I asked lier
again if slie laiew tlie other man given her reaction upon my initial anival and lier interactions witli
Alberto which I l'iad observed. This time she told me, "I am not going to lie, I knew liim." I asked her
wliat his name was and she told me, "Benito Osorio." I asked her liow slie knew liin'i and she said, "
I asked her some clarifying questions
Itried to fiutlier determine the extent of the relationship between Osorio aiid but slie was
evasive in l'ier ai'iswers. I

After my conversation with Ofc. Greaver and I transported Alberto to the Santa Ana
Police Department. He was transpoited willingly and agreed to speak with detectives about wliat liad
transpired. He was rinaware Osorio had been sliot by police at the time of my transporting him. He was
placed in the conference room on the third floor and contacted by Santa Ana Police Depaitment
Homicide Detectives and Orange County District Attorney Investigators. I was relieved by Ofc. Gibbons
