HomeMy WebLinkAboutCase 2024-26142 - 06242025_Redacted_Part6I approached Officer Casillas and observed a male subject lying on the ground of the west sidewalk of Broadway.
Officer Casillas advised me the suspect had a shotgun under his person and had been seen loading it. I provided
lethal coverage with the department issued rifle that was inside Officer Casillas’ and Officer Ibarra’s vehicle.
After additional units responded, commands were given to the suspect to crawl towards officers. The suspect did not
respond to the commands given. I then observed the less lethal 40MM deployed two times. I was appointed as lethal
coverage as part of the arrest team with other officers. As we approached the suspect, I maintained lethal coverage
until the suspect was placed into handcuffs.
I then assisted in canvassing for cartridges in the roadway. I placed one folded interview card next to a spent 40MM
cartridge.
I also assisted in maintaining the perimeter in the area of 201 N. Broadway to prevent bystanders from entering the
crime scene. I was later relieved by Officer Reguerin #3590.
At approximately 1823 hours, I checked out of the crime scene with the appointed scribe, Officer Carrillo #3424.
That concluded my involvement.

Santa Ana PD 2024-26142 Report by Gonzales, Steven 3829 2 of 2
On 12-01-24, at approximately 1732 hours, I was working uniformed patrol in a
marked black and white police vehicle, in the City of Santa Ana. During this time, I
heard a broadcast via radio from officers stating they were involved in a shooting with
a subject armed with a firearm. I responded from Harbor Blvd and McFadden Ave. to
assist officers at 2nd Street and Broadway. Upon arrival, there were multiple officers
on scene.
At this time, I was tasked with driving a patrol unit as shield for officers to approach
the suspect that was down. The suspect t this time had a firearm near him that
appeared to be a shotgun. The color on the shotgun appeared to be black and brown
in color.
When advised, I drove the vehicle as close as possible towards the suspect as a
shield as officers approached and detained the suspect.
I then assisted by checking nearby businesses for any victims or witnesses. None
were located at this time.
I also assisted officers by placing FI cards next to shell casings that were on the
ground near several feet from the suspect on Broadway.
My BWC was activated and later uploaded into Axon.com.
No further action was taken.

On Sunday, December 1st, 2024, Officer S. Gonzales #3829 and I were working uniform patrol driving a marked black
and white police vehicle in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange. At approximately 1733 hours, I heard a broadcast
via radio that Officers had been involved in a shooting in the area of 2nd Street and Broadway. Officer Gonzales
#3829 and I responded from the area of Main Street and McFadden Avenue to assist involved Officers. We arrived on
scene to assist at approximately 1734 hours.
As we were arriving, Officers requested northbound traffic at 1st Street and Broadway to be shut down. I parked our
police vehicle near the northeast portion of the intersection to block northbound traffic on Broadway. Officer Gonzales
exited the front passenger seat of our police vehicle and assisted Officer Ibarra #3178 and Officer Casillas #3755,
who were positioned just north of our vehicle facing northwest. I observed a male subject laying down on the ground
near the southeast corner of Casa Linda Furniture located at 116 N Broadway.
I observed several pedestrians hiding behind a food truck parked just east of where Officer Ibarra #3178 and Officer
Casillas #3755 were located. The pedestrians appeared to be terrified. I ran to the pedestrians and instructed them to
enter the Guadalajara Furniture store located at 117 N Broadway, as I feared for their safety.
I then assisted Officers at Officer Ibarra's #3178 and Officer Casillas' #3755 vehicle, but was then assigned for crowd
control for the southern perimeter. Once the suspect was taken into custody, I assisted Officers with preserving the
scene by placing FI cards near spent cartridges on Broadway. Shortly after, Corporal Enriquez #3082 then designated
me to transport Officer Ibarra #3178 to the Santa Ana Police Department.
At approximately 1751 hours, I transported Officer Ibarra #3178 to the Santa Ana Police Department and I sat with
him in the directed patrol conference room. At approximately 2015 hours, I was relieved by Sergeant Padron #2936.
My BWC battery died while responding to the scene.
I took no further action.
