Santa Ana PD 2019-05804 Report by Moroyoqui, Gus 2727 3 of 4
March 12, 2019
0335 Hours
Orange County District Attorney Investigator C. Gonzalez and I interviewed Orange County Deputy
Probation Officer II (DPO) C. PINTO at the police department¶s 3rd floor conference room. Present in the
interview were Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriff¶s (AOCDS) Attorney Jan CHRISTI and
AOCDS Staff Representative Frank FLAVIN. Investigator audio recorded the interview and the following is
a synopsis of said interview.
DPO PINTO has worked for the County of Orange for approximately 11 years and has been a Probation
Officer for the last 7 years. On 3/11/19, he and his partner DPO L. IBARRA were working gang
suppression along with members of the Santa Ana Police Department¶s (SAPD) Gang Unit. As part of their
duties, DPO¶S PINTO and IBARRA are assigned to the SAPD Gang Unit and work alongside the Gang
Detectives on a regular basis.
On the night of this incident, he was driving a Probation Department unmarked black Ford Explorer as DPO
IBARRA was passenger. DPO IBARRA had mentioned to him that he had a probationer on his caseload
(Miguel ISRA) who lived at 1821 S. Cedar #D. DPO IBARRA stated that as they drove through the Cedar /
Evergreen, DPO IBBARA stated that if they saw ISRA out in the area, he would want to talk to him to see if
he was in compliance with his probation.

area of Edinger and Standard. After the patrol check, they proceeded to the Cedar / Evergreen area. He
followed one of marked Detective Units west on Occidental. The Detectives then traveled north in the east
alley of Cedar Street. PINTO said he drove north on Evergreen Street paralleling the unit in case someone
ran out toward their direction. DPO PINTO said he and DPO IBARRA were approximately one building
north of 1814 S. Evergreen when he clearly heard 3 to 4 loud gunshots. He believed that gunshots were
being fired south of them. They were exiting their probation vehicle, when he heard an additional 3 to 5
gunshots.
DPO PINTO stated that he and DPO IBARRA were walking south along the west sidewalk when he
observed a male walking general area of where the gunshots were coming from. Not knowing if the male
was involved in the shooting, PINTO and IBARRA detained the male. They detained an additional subject
who was in the courtyard of 1814 S. Evergreen Street. DPO PINTO stated that while they contacted the
two males, he heard yelling and someone say ³´(man with gun) over the police radio.
DPO PINTO said that remained on Evergreen Street, while officers were responding to the west alley.
They did not respond to where the officer involved shooting occurred.
DPO PINTO stated that the Cedar / Evergreen area is a highly active gang neighborhood. They have
contacted numerous probationers in the area. Last week they contact two individuals where one of the
individuals tossed a handgun.
We concluded the interview.
Investigator Gonzales provided me a copy of the audio recording, which I later booked into SAPD
Evidence. For further details, refer to the audio recording.
