San Diego, California – On January 24, 2020, at approximately 3:42 p.m., two uniformed San Diego police officers were in the area of 2900 54th Street when they attempted to make an enforcement stop. The contact turned into a foot pursuit, which ultimately ended in a fatal officer involved shooting. Investigators from the San Diego Police Homicide Unit were called to the scene to investigate the incident. Although it is very early in the investigation, based on witness statements and the brief statement given by the officers involved, the man was uncooperative when the officers attempted to contact him. He ran from the officers and they chased him into the traffic lanes of 54th Street.

The man then ran eastbound through bushes and onto the frontage road, at which time he began struggling with the officers. The officers gave him verbal commands to stop resisting but he refused to cooperate. One of the officers believed the man was grabbing his gun and alerted his partner, who eventually fired one round from his service weapon striking the man. The man continued struggling but was eventually taken into custody. The officers provided medical aid until San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel arrived and pronounced him deceased. One witness described the subject as having something in his hand as the officers struggled with him.

It was later discovered the man not only grabbed the officer’s gun, he was able to break the officer’s holster and firearm completely off of his duty belt and was struggling to control the gun. The officers involved in this incident are both patrol officers assigned to Southeastern Division.
