Deputies responded to reports of a domestic dispute involving a firearm and a knife. Upon arrival, officers learned that the suspect had inflicted multiple injuries on the mother of his child and was refusing to surrender while holding the child inside the home.

Law enforcement said the suspect remained armed and defied numerous attempts to negotiate his surrender. The situation escalated for several hours, prompting the deployment of a SWAT team to the scene.

The press release from the Orange County Sheriff's Office detailed that the SWAT team forced entry into the residence after prolonged negotiations failed. Officers observed the suspect using the child as a shield while holding a gun. Fearing for the child's safety, SWAT officers fired at the suspect, resulting in his death. The child was reportedly unharmed and the mother was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office has emphasized its commitment to transparency by releasing body-worn camera footage of the critical incident. The footage is part of the office's policy to provide the community with full information about deputy-involved shootings.

In the press release, the Sheriff's Office stated, “As part of the Orange County Sheriff's Office's commitment to transparency, it is our policy to release body worn camera videos of critical incidents , including officer-involved shootings. We think it's important for our community members to see the entirety of what's being released, rather than relying on snippets they might see elsewhere.”

The press release continued: “On July 19, 2024, at approximately 5:00 p.m., deputies responded to 6809 Colony Oaks Lane where a man had shot the mother of his child multiple times. The suspect remained inside the home with the boy and a gun and refused to surrender. Deputies negotiated with him for several hours, but he still refused to surrender, while still holding his son as hostage. OCSO SWAT officers broke down the door and saw the suspect holding the child as a shield. Fearing for the child's safety, SWAT officers shot and killed the suspect . Fortunately, the child was unharmed in this incident. The mother was taken to hospital in critical condition.”

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing and the Sheriff's Office has indicated that more details will be released as they become available.
