I did not review the footage while filing this report. The following is a summary of the incident and investigation. On 11-19-24 at 1746 hours, I (Officer S. Suderno #10140) assisted multiple Long Beach Police Department units at Atlantic Avenue regarding a person with a gun call (call #1190). The call resulted in the suspect discharging his firearm which injured a responding police officer followed by an officer involved shooting that fatally injured the suspect. There were also three family members of the suspect that were placed under arrest after being involved in a use of force with assisting officers. For further on the use of force and arrest, refer to Long Beach Police Department DR #240058099. We were assisted by multiple Long Beach Police Units. Atlantic Avenue (Iglesia De Cristo Miel) is a two-story church located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue, just north of 52nd Street. There is a walkway that leads from the east sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue to a small staircase consisting of six steps. At the top of the staircase are west facing, double glass doors which lead into the bottom floor of the location. There are four west facing windows on the bottom floor of the church. Two of the windows are on the south side of the front door and the other two are on the north side of the door. There are also three west facing windows on the second floor of the building.

South of the building is a large parking lot. In front of the main walkway to the front door of the building is an overhead streetlight (#CD1382). The call originated as a text message through the 911 system. The calling party indicated a man armed with a gun was by the church. The caller described the subject as a male Hispanic that is tall with a bald head. The caller further described the possible subject was wearing a sweater and pants. At 1520 hours, Unit 3B21 (Officer E. Betancort #6117) arrived on scene and advised over the police radio that a male Hispanic (later identified as Brandon Boyd, DOB: 5-22-86) was observed on the steps of the church, however no gun was observed. While additional officers were arriving on scene, the police dispatcher advised the calling party texted, “Be careful, a lot of traffic”. The police dispatcher then advised that the 911 operator was attempting to call the calling party back to get further information. While the 911 operator was attempting to call the calling party back, officers on scene began to engage the subject that was on the steps of the church (Iglesia De Cristo Miel, Atlantic Avenue). Officers advised that Boyd was refusing to show his hands to the officers. Additional officers began to arrive on scene to assist. As they arrived, they began to block off surrounding streets and began to establish a perimeter around the location. Other assisting officers arrived and deployed their 40mm less than lethal munition. While officers were setting up the perimeter, Boyd asked officers to clear traffic and indicated that he was the subject that made the call. Boyd also advised officers at the scene that he was armed with a small weapon. Officers advised they were unable to see the weapon at that time. Officers continued speaking with Boyd, while additional resources were requested and began to arrive on scene. Two mental evaluation teams and a hostage negotiator responded to the scene as well a K-9 unit and the Long Beach Fire Department. Officers on scene then began to conduct evacuations of near-by businesses and residences. Several calls were placed into the church that Boyd was standing in front of, however they were unable to make contact with the responsible party. Officers continued negotiating with Boyd for over one hour, however they were unable to get Boyd to comply and surrender himself to them. During this time, officers on scene advised they were able to see Boyd in possession of an unknown metal object that he appeared to be sitting on. Eventually, an officer advised that Boyd was indeed armed with a small gun that he was attempting to conceal in his waistband near the small of his back. While officers were negotiating with Boyd, the SWAT React Team was requested and responded to the scene. Once the React Team was on scene, they established a plan to take Boyd into custody. As the put their plan into action, Boyd was able to discharge his firearm, striking Detective D. Martinez #10323) in the left arm. This resulted in an officer involved shooting occurred. After the shooting occurred, officers on scene began to render aid to Officer Martinez and escorted him to a waiting ambulance (LBFD Rescue 11). Officers also approached Boyd and began to perform lifesaving aid to him until they were relieved by the Long Beach Fire Department. Boyd was determined deceased by Long Beach Fire Department Paramedic A. Espita #72107 at 1752 hours. Officer Martinez was transported to Long Beach Memorial Hospital where he was treated for his injuries. Safety sweeps were conducted at the church and animal hospital following the shooting. Upon arriving to the scene, I observed Boyd lying on his back with his head facing south and feet facing north on the top portion of the staircase, just outside the front doors of Atlantic Avenue. South of Boyd’s head was a black semi-auto Printed on: 2/6/2025 7:23:57 PM | Page 4 of 6Reporting Officer: Suderno 10140 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: INCIDENT REPORT firearm. There were two strike marks on the glass doors, one in each door. The northern most first floor window was shattered. There was a strike mark on northwest corner cinder block of the southern lawn area. At the base of the staircase was the remnants of a flashbang that was used by the SWAT React Team. The streetlight located in front of the church was in good working order and was illuminating the street at the time of the incident. There was one camera located on the exterior of the building near the southwest corner. The camera was facing westbound. Directly across the street from Atlantic Avenue is The Pet Lovers Animal Hospital of Long Beach ( Atlantic Avenue). This location had security cameras on the exterior of the building. A few feet north of the animal hospital is another overhead streetlight (#CD1380). This streetlight was off and not illuminating the street time of the incident. North of the animal hospital was a nail shop ( Atlantic Avenue) and a barber shop Atlantic Avenue). There are security cameras on the east facing exterior wall of the barber shop. There were two marked police vehicles parked across the northbound number two lane of Atlantic Avenue. These two vehicles were parked one behind the other and were used by the officers at the scene to provide them cover while they spoke with Boyd. There was a 40mm projectile multi-launcher (SL-6) on the hood of the western most (front) vehicle along with several loose 40mm rounds. There was also a red medical kit on the roof of the eastern most (rear) vehicle. There were several rifle and pistol casings in the street just south of the vehicles.

Stein # 5915, was the patrol shift supervisor for the East Division when I heard over my police radio that an officer-involved shooting just occurred in the area of 52nd St and Atlantic Av. I also heard on police radio that an officer had been shot and was en route to Long Beach Memorial Hospital. I responded to this hospital and arrived before the injured officer.

Moreno #10775) responded to assist other officers at Atlantic Avenue regarding a person with a gun (Call#1190). Upon my arrival, I observed Officers had an Emergency Action Team (E.A.T.) on the north and south side of the subject. The subject was sitting down on top of a flight of stairs. Officers were attempting to communicate with the subject and have him show his hands, but the subject kept concealing his right hand below his right leg. As we waited for more resources to arrive, Officers continued talking to the subject to attempt to deescalate the situation. The subject kept saying he possibly had a firearm, and he wanted to die by suicide by cop. After speaking with the subject for over an hour to have him safely surrender to Officers, S.W.A.T. React was activated. I joined S.W.A.T. personnel E.A.T. and was tasked with going hands on with the subject. We came up with a plan for the team on the south side to deploy a flashbang to distract the subject. That team was also going to have a less lethal 40mm multi-launcher to deploy at the subject. The plan was for the flashbang to distract him along with the 40mm multi- launcher, while the team I was on would rush the subject and take him into custody. Once the plan was set and everybody was ready, the plan was executed. The flashbang went off and we began to make our approach around the corner to take him into custody. As I was turning the corner I immediately heard a volley of gun shots along with 40mm projectiles being fired. I along with the rest of my team ran back to cover. I did not observe the officer involved shooting nor observed what led to the officer involved shooting. I heard over the radio officer involved shooting had just occurred and the subject was down. We ran up to the subject to disarm him and administer first aid. I along with two other S.W.A.T. personnel took turns administering chest compressions. I observed the subject had a gunshot wound in his chest and an exit wound in his lower back. I also observed the subject had a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Fire personnel arrived on scene and took over administering first aid and pronounced the subject deceased.

Lacey #10003) was en route to the 5200 block of Atlantic Avenue regarding a person with a firearm (call #1190). The call stated the suspect may be armed with a firearm and was making suicidal statements. When I arrived on scene, I began coordinating units and setting up containment on the suspect. I placed Officer Hunt and Officer Meyer in a side yard (located on the north side of Atlantic Avenue) in order to prevent the suspect from fleeing eastbound. Officers continuously made efforts to talk to the suspect and get him to surrender himself to officers. However, the suspect would not leave from the church steps located at Atlantic Avenue. SWAT-REACT responded to the scene and took over tactical operations of the incident. REACT deployed a flashbang. I observed the suspect retrieve a firearm that he had been sitting on, and fire at least one round at officers after the flashbang detonated. I heard multiple officers discharge their firearms in response to the suspect. Once the suspect had been shot, I began coordinating with Long Beach Fire Department personnel who were staged facing northbound in southbound lanes of traffic on Atlantic Avenue, just south of 52nd Street. I was waiting for officers to secure the suspect before escorting fire into the area. I then observed Officer Chamberlain escorting Officer D. Martinez towards paramedics. Officer Chamberlain advised me that Officer Martinez had been shot. I got on my hand-held radio and had officers from other divisions start blocking traffic along Atlantic Avenue towards Memorial Hospital. Once I was advised the suspect was secured, I escorted Long Beach Fire Department paramedics towards the suspect. Next, I advised Officer Cheatham to begin clearing traffic off of Atlantic and to block traffic off at 51st Street. Sergeant Hearst advised me he was the Incident Commander. I coordinated with Sergeant Hearst and Sergeant Davenport to identify officers who were involved in the shooting. I was tasked with obtaining a Public Safety Statement from Officer Marco Woods and Officer Brian Weber. I retrieved my Public Safety Statement Card from my vehicle. However, I dropped the card at the front of vehicle 18962. I left the card there and read the questions off a digital copy of the Public Safety Statement Card. I asked the following questions to Officer Weber: I need to know the following regarding your actions: What was your approximate location when you fired? Officer Weber stated he was near the front driver side bumper area of vehicle 18962. What direction did you fire? Officer Weber stated he fired in a northeast direction.

Craver #10996) and I (Officer L. Sands #11271) were working uniformed patrol as Unit CF2. We responded to Atlantic Avenue regarding an emergency text involving a firearm. The call stated, the subject was a Male possible Hispanic, bald and tall. The calling party texted that there was a man with a gun by the church. Upon our arrival, I observed north bound lanes of Atlantic Avenue north of 52nd Street blocked by marked black and white police patrol vehicles. There were several officers on scene speaking to a male subject (later identified as decedent Brandon Boyd) who was sitting on top of the steps of The Iglesia De Cristo Church ( Atlantic Avenue) with his right leg fully extended and his left leg was propped up on a step. The decedent was wearing a black and white plaid jacket, black t-shirt and light colored jeans. I observed two Emergency Action Teams (EAT) one on the south end of the church and one on the north end. As we approached the scene, Unit 3S37 (Sergeant B Hearst #10766) directed my partner and I to join the EAT on the north side of the church behind a patrol vehicle that was parked along the east curb facing north bound. Once my partner and I walked to the north side, Unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain #10221) assigned roles for the EAT and I was assigned to be hands on, and my partner was given the 40MM less lethal launcher. Officer Chamberlain also advised Long Beach Fire personnel would be staging in the area of 51st Street/Atlantic Avenue to render any medical aide. While on the EAT Unit 3Z30 (Officer Savanna Estrada #11142) was speaking with the decedent attempting to de- escalate the situation by having the decedent place his hands in the air and walk down the stairs of the church. During the interaction, the decedent was responding to Officer Estrada but I was unable to make out what he was saying due to the distance between the decedent and our EAT (approx 20 yards away). While offcers were talking to the decedent, I heard him mention he wanted to smoke a cigarette. Unit MET 1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117) arrived on scene and took over verbal communication with the decedent and at one point offered him a cigarette in hopes it would get him to surrender. Officer Garcia continued to speak to the decedent asking him if he was armed with a handgun. I was unable to hear the decedents response but he began removing his jacket and placed it behind him and then he removed his t-shirt and threw it down on the staircase he was sitting on. At this time, it appeared the decedent was attempting to show he did not have a handgun in his waistband. However, although the decedent removed his jacket and t-shirt, he kept leaning over to his right side and laying down at the top of the steps. Officers on my EAT advised they could see a metal object behind the decedents right buttocks area when the decedent would sit up. Officer Garcia continued to speak with the decedent and advised him that officers did not want to hurt him and they wanted him to surrender peacefully so he could get him help and take him to a hospital. The decedent continued sitting on the top of the staircase and did not comply with Officer Garcia’s commands to surrender. The decedent continued moving around and placing his hands down by his side near his buttocks and then out in front of him. When the decedent moved over to his left side, an officer aired and confirmed the decedent was sitting on a handgun under his right buttocks. During the time officers were negotiating with the decedent the sun went down and it became dark and it was hard to see the decedent clearly. Our EAT illuminated the decedent with the spotlight from our patrol vehicle and the south EAT used their spotlight from their patrol vehicle to have a better view of the decedent. SWAT REACT After several attempts to continue to get the decedent to surrender, Sergeant Hearst advised over the air SWAT REACT Printed on: 3/16/2025 8:06:28 AM | Page 1 of 2Reporting Officer: Sands 11271 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .007INCIDENT REPORT was activated and they would be en-route. SWAT REACT officers arrived and took over our EAT on the north end. Officer M. Lopez #11253 was the lead on our EAT with his rifle (lethal force option) he was standing to the left of me and my partner Officer Craver #10996 was standing to my left with the 40mm less lethal ammunition. I stood directly behind both officers to maintain cover due to the fact I was assigned to go hands on if needed. The SWAT REACT officers formulated a plan to throw a flashbang towards the decedent and use the 40MM less lethal ammunition to safely take him into custody if needed. Once all the SWAT REACT officers were in position, I observed several of the officers along the north side of the church walking west towards the front of the church. Seconds later, I observed a flash and a lound bang. The decedent ducked from being startled by the flashbang and immediately reached for the handgun that was under his right buttocks. Several 40MM less lethal rounds were launched towards the decedent but they seemed to be unaffective. The decedent was still able to arm himself with the handgun in his right hand and pointed the gun in a southwestern direction towards officers and the EAT. As the decedent pointed the handgun towards officers, I heard several shots and observed the decedent fall back and turn over towards the front doors of the church (east bound). The decedent began moving around slowly and then he turned over on his back with his head facing south and his legs facing north with his arms extended out. I observed the rise and fall in the decedents chest and his breathing appeared to be shallow. The SWAT REACT officers moved towards the decedent and began life saving measures. As the SWAT REACT officers were rendering medical attention to the decedent I heard several of the decedent's family members screaming and crying from across the street on the west curb directly across from the church. I observed approximately two females attempting to run towards the decedent direction and officers were trying to detain them and block them from entering the crime scene. I walked over to assist officers with crowd control and when I arrived I observed several officers taking three female subjects in custody. One female subject (later identified as Desire Boyd) was screaming and leaned over the hood of a vehicle by officers who were attempting to place her in handcuffs. The female was actively resisting officers by not placing her hands behind her back. For further on the Use of Force See Main Report DR#24-58099. After the subject was placed in handcuffs, I helped escort her to the back seat of a patrol vehicle with Officer Cheatham. The subject was screaming and would try and sit down on the ground. Once I placed the subject in the back seat of the patrol vehicle, she advised of complaint of pain to her right wrist. I advised Long Beach Fire personnel and they evaluated the subject and cleared her on scene. Unit 3S37 (Sergeant J. Jacobs #10041) was advised the subject complained of pain to her right wrist. Sergeant Jacobs stated the female subject was under arrest for battery on a police officer. Unit 3C53 S. Hunt #11004 relieved me on scene and stood by with the female subject.

Sands #11271) and I (Officer J. Craver #10996) were working in uniformed assignment as Unit CF2 when we assisted Unit CF1 (Officer A. Cheatham #11365 and Officer C. Pruiet #10764) at Atlantic Avenue regarding 9-1-1 text regarding a possible person with a gun. The call was later determined to involve an officer involved shooting with a male adult armed with a firearm (Call #1190). While at the North Police Sub Station located at 4891 Atlantic Avenue, I was monitoring radio traffic and overheard Unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain #10221) responding to the dispatch location for Calling Party who had sent a text message and reported there was a man with a firearm by a church. The subject was described to be a male, possibly Hispanic, and tall. At 15:25:35 hours, Officer Chamberlain notified dispatch and responding units that the involved male (later identified as Brandon Boyd) was asking units to clear traffic. At 15:26:46 hours, Officer Chamberlain stated he was attempting to speak with Boyd, and Boyd was stating he was the one that called and reported the incident. At 15:27:35 hours, Officer Chamberlain requested Utility Billing for Atlantic Avenue and requested to have any occupants inside evacuated. Officer Chamberlain also reported Boyd was making suicidal comments. At 15:28:53 hours, Unit 3B20 (Officer J. Carreon #11001) reported Boyd was stating he had a small caliber handgun on him but Officer Carreon a firearm had not been observed yet. While responding to the scene, officers were requesting for a unit to deploy a less lethal 40mm launcher and to assist on an Emergency Action Team (EAT) being established. On my arrival I drove northbound on Atlantic Avenue and positioned my patrol vehicle in the #1 lane of northbound Atlantic Avenue, at the intersection with 52nd Street, and attempted to divert traffic. After exiting our vehicle, I walked northbound towards the officers on scene and deployed a less lethal 40mm launcher from the back of a black and white patrol vehicle (Vehicle #18899/Unit 3B19) that was on scene and in the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street. I notified dispatch I was deploying a less lethal force option and was tasked by Unit 3S37 (Sergeant B. Hearst #10766) with assisting on an EAT located north of the dispatch location, and in the northbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue. The EAT was positioned in a southeast direction, and I took a position along the passenger side of a patrol vehicle to maintain cover behind the vehicle and maintain visual of Boyd. While along the passenger side of the marked patrol vehicle, I observed Boyd to be seated on the front steps of Iglesia De Cristo Miel De Long Beach located at Atlantic Avenue. The front entrance and steps to the church are located along the west side of the property and face westbound. On arrival I observed Boyd to be sitting on the top step and was facing westbound. As I remained along the passenger side of the patrol vehicle while assisting on the northern EAT, I was advised by Unit 3B24 (Officer J. Connell #10777) that Boyd was the Calling Party who reported he had a firearm and prior to my arrival, officers on scene observed Boyd place an unknown object behind the right side of his body and was believed to be sitting on an object believed to be a firearm. Unit 3B81 (Officer F. Pena #6014 and Officer A. Trujillo #6214) were also on scene and were assisting on the northern EAT with Officer Connell, Officer Chamberlain, and Officer Sands and I. Officer Pena had deployed an AR-15 during the incident and had reported he could see the object that Boyd was sitting on. Officer Pena advised units on the EAT that the object appeared to be a firearm, and the part of the weapon Officer Pena could observe appeared to be a magazine sticking out from underneath where Boyd was sitting. Based on the information listed in the call during the initial dispatch, prior to responding to the scene, while assisting units on scene, and while assisting on the EAT, I believed Boyd was armed with a firearm.

Unit 3Z30 (Officer S. Estrada #11142) and Unit MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117) were on scene and on the southern EAT attempting to deescalate and speak with Boyd. Officer Estrada is currently assigned to a Hostage Negotiation Team (HNT) and Officer Garcia is currently assigned to a Mental Evaluation Team that are trained in de-escalation tactics and establishing communications with individuals in a possible crisis. Officer Estrada and Officer Garcia continuously attempted to speak with Boyd throughout the investigation and continued to give clear and direct commands for Boyd to surrender to officers. During efforts to deescalate the situation, I observed Boyd's demeanor to vary throughout the incident and he remained uncooperative as officers continued to direct him to surrender to officers and to not reach for a firearm or anything he was sitting on. After multiple attempts were made to establish a rapport and deescalate the incident, and to have Boyd surrender to officers, an action plan was established in order to take Boyd into custody. Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) personnel responded to the scene and assisting units on scene and on north and south EAT. While establishing an action plan to take Boyd into custody, Unit 3S6 (Sergeant R. Davenport #6289) was on scene and assisting on the north EAT. Sergeant Davenport had advised officers on scene that a flash bang would be deployed near the entrance to the church in order to distract Boyd and prevent him from reaching for the firearm, and units would attempt to take him into custody with use of less lethal force options and officers positioned along a walkway located along the north wall of the property. It should be noted at 17:39:24 hours, Unit 3C53 (Officer S. Hunt #11004) aired and advised officers on scene that Boyd was confirmed to be sitting on a small handgun that was black in color. During the investigation I was able to see an object along the right side of Boyd's body but I could not confirm the item was a firearm from my position and distance due to lighting and Boyd sitting on the firearm. Once there was a deployment of a flash bang grenade, I observed Boyd's hands to initially go up in the air as if he was startled and as a reaction to the explosion but I then observed Boyd immediately reach underneath his right leg with his right hand, and arm himself with a firearm that was located underneath his right buttocks area. Boyd removed the firearm from underneath his seated position and was observed to point the firearm in a westerly direction towards officers on scene. I perceived an imminent threat and feared Boyd had the ability and intent to cause death or great bodily injury to officers on scene or public bystanders located west of our location who were watching and observing the incident. It should be noted as I observed Boyd to be armed with a firearm, I heard gunfire coming from the location where Boyd was seated and perceived he was firing his weapon. Due to the fear that Boyd would cause death or great bodily harm to officers or public bystanders, and there was an immediate need to apprehend Boyd, I deployed one less lethal 40mm round at Boyd while aiming at his abdominal area from approximately 20 yards away. As I deployed a less lethal round, I heard gun fire coming from officers on scene and I determined Officer M. Lopez #11253 and Officer Pena had also fired their AR-15 from our EAT. It should be noted officers on the south EAT also deployed less lethal and lethal force options but I did not witness the deployment of their weapons due to being engaged and involved with the deployment of a less lethal 40mm round during the incident and officer involved shooting that occurred. After deploying the less lethal 40mm launcher, I immediately reloaded the weapon and placed my sights on the location where Boyd was seated. I observed Boyd to fall backwards from his seated position and lay on his right side while facing eastbound towards the front entrance to the church. It was unknown on the injuries sustained to Boyd, and I could not confirm if he had been struck by lethal or less lethal force options. Boyd then fell back onto his back into a supinated position and was observed to have his left upper extremity extended in Printed on: 3/16/2025 8:29:32 AM | Page 2 of 3Reporting Officer: Craver 10996 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .008INCIDENT REPORT a westbound direction, and his right arm lying across his upper torso. Boyd appeared to be breathing but I could not assess or verify his injuries from my location and distance. Officers located along the north side of the property approached Boyd and began rendering aid, and securing the area around Boyd. Sergeant Davenport contacted Officer Pena, Officer Lopez, and I and we reported we had used force options during the incident. Officer Lopez was heard stating he fired two times, Officer Pena stated he also fired his duty weapon, and I reported I fired one round from the 40mm launcher. Sergeant Davenport immediately removed Officer Lopez, Officer Pena, and I from the scene and I had no further involved at the scene where the officer involved shooting occurred. After being removed from the scene where the officer involved shooting occurred, I was later tasked by Unit 3S2 (Sergeant J. Lacey #10003) with responding to the Command Post established along the southeast corner of Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street for further assignment and tasks. While at the Command Post, I was tasked with attempting to positively identify Boyd through department resources. It should be noted after the officer involved shooting occurred, family was on scene and immediately began entering the crime scene. A use of force occurred and involved the arrest of a family member related to Boyd. For further on use of force, refer to DR#240058099. Concluding the use of force, Unit 3C54 (Officer E. Robbins #10877) assisted with transporting the female subject arrested during the incident. The female was determined to be Boyd's sister during the investigation. I contacted Officer Robbins on his department issued cell phone and asked him to have the female (identified as Desiree Boyd) provide the name and date of birth of her brother (Boyd). Desiree identified her brother as "Brandon Boyd" and stated he had a birthday in on May 22nd, but could not recall of what year. It should be noted during the investigation prior to the officer involved shooting and while Officer Estrada and Officer Garcia continued to speak with Boyd, he identified himself as "Brandon" but did not provide a last name or date of birth. With use of department resources, I ran a record check under the name of "Brandon Boyd" and identified a match for "Brandon Boyd" with a date of birth of May 22, 1986. During the investigation, Boyd also was heard continuously stating towards Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada. While on the northern EAT, Officer Connell and I discussed the numbers being continuously said by Boyd to be numbers related to his Driver's License or Identification Card but noted there was not enough digits being said to be an accurate identification number. While reviewing the identifying information for Brandon Boyd with a date of birth of May 22, 1986, I also found he had been documented with a Driver's License of I then utilized department resources and reviewed a criminal rap sheet for Brandon Boyd (05/22/1986) and observed a photograph to match Boyd. My partner also noted that Boyd had a tattoo on the right side of his neck and while reviewing the photograph on Boyd's criminal rap sheet and the tattoos he had been documented with, Boyd was found to have tattooed on his neck. Based on the information provided and found during the investigation, I believed Boyd to be positively identified as "Brandon John Henry Boyd" with a date of birth of 05/22/1986. I notified the Command Post of the information regarding Boyd accordingly and was released from the scene concluding my investigation and had no further involvement. For further on incident, refer to Main Report and Supplemental Reports filed by officers on scene.

Cheatham #11365) and I (Officer C. Pruiet #10764) while working uniformed High Crime Focus Team as Unit CF1 assisted Unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain #10221) at Atlantic Avenue with an unknown trouble call that resulted in an Officer Involved Shooting (Call #1190). While in route, dispatched informed us via police radio that a subject (later identified as Suspect Brandon Boyd) described as a bald Male Hispanic was in front of the church ("Iglesia De Cristo," Atlantic Avenue) with a firearm. Units arrived on scene and contacted Boyd in front of the church and updated dispatch that he was refusing to show his hands. Boyd then informed officers on scene that he made the person with a firearm call and began making suicidal statements. My partner and I responded to the scene code three or "Emergency, lights and sirens" to assist. Upon arrival, I ran to the front of the location where I observed two marked black and white "Long Beach Police" vehicles parked across the northbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue north of 52nd Street. I took up a position at the driver's side of the engine block at the most western vehicle. There was an Emergency Action Team (EAT) was forming, and Officer S. Estrada #11142 was speaking to Boyd attempting to deescalate the situation and facilitate his peaceful surrender. I observed that Boyd was seated on the front steps of the church from a distance of approximately 20 yards. Boyd appeared agitated, making quick jerky movements of his hands and head. I observed a second EAT north of the church in the number two lane of northbound Atlantic Avenue by driver's side trunk of a marked black and white "Long Beach Police" vehicle. Due to the distance, threat of a firearm, and instruction of Sgt. B. Hearst #10766, I returned to my patrol vehicle and retrieved my department approved patrol rifle before I notified dispatch. I returned to the EAT to take up my previous position near the driver side engine block of the most western vehicle. Officer Estrada was to my right by the driver's door and continued to speak with Boyd who was still seated on the front steps of the church. I stood next to the front driver's side tire and assumed the role of "lethal cover" for Officer Cheatham, who stood to my left and was "less-than lethal" with a department issued 40mm launcher. It should be noted that Boyd, no matter how many times or the manner with which asked, would not comply or surrender to Officers on scene. I heard Boyd make several statements such as, "Being a felon in possession of a firearm." while speaking to Officer Estrada that led me to believe that he was armed with a firearm being concealed somewhere near or on his person. Unit MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117 and Clinician G. Bescoby #606891) responded to the scene from northbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue near 52nd Street. Officer Garcia then took up a position to my right next to Officer Estrada. He and Officer Estrada continued to speak with Boyd nonstop over the course of approximately two hours in an attempt to get him to peacefully surrender without further incident. With each attempt, Boyd refused or would change his mind after stating he would give up. During the negotiations with Boyd, he would often times reach his hand behind his body and when a firearm was mentioned, he would turn and look towards his right buttocks. Many attempts were made to have Boyd stand up with his hands up, but each attempt was met with Boyd's insistence on remaining seated where he was. No matter how many attempts were made, Boyd refused to move from his seated spot in front of the church, and it appeared he was trying to conceal an object either underneath him or behind him. Boyd would often get emotional switching from angry to sad to confused as he spoke to Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada and stated that he was intoxicated on an unknown alcoholic beverage. Officer Garcia warned Boyd several times during the course of their interaction, that forced could be used against him which included taser, 40mm, and lethal force. As the incident went on, night was setting in and Officers on scene were utilizing their vehicle's spotlights to illuminate Boyd sitting on the front steps of the church.

Hunt #11004 notified dispatch via police radio that he was able to positively observe a firearm on the ground behind Boyd. Through the magnified scope of my patrol rifle, I was observed and confirmed that a small, black pistol type firearm was on the ground behind the right side of Boyd's body. I notified Officers around me at the EAT that I observed the firearm behind Boyd. REACT SWAT personnel arrived on scene and relieved me at my EAT. After being relieved, I stood directly behind them and observed Officer Chamberlain by the driver's door of Long Beach Police vehicle with a "less-than-lethal" 40mm launcher. Officer D. Martinez #10028 took my position at the driver's side engine block with an "SL-6" less-than-lethal multi- launcher. Officer B. Weber #10778 was at the front bumper with a rifle alongside K-9 Officer E. Moscoso #6164 with his K-9 partner. I had an unobstructed view of Boyd sitting at the church steps from a distance of approximately 20 yards. SWAT personnel then deployed a "Flash Bang" and I observed Boyd flinch and appear confused. I observed SWAT personnel in front of me on the EAT launch multiple "less-than-lethal" 40mm rounds and I observed several impact Boyd on his body. After being impacted by the 40mm rounds, I observed Boyd, still seated at the front steps of the church, turn his upper body to his right. Boyd reached to rear right side of his back with both hands where I last observed the small, black pistol. Boyd the turned his upper body towards Officers and brought his left arm up to cover his face. He then lifted and pointed his right arm straight out towards Officers on scene with a black object in his hand. At this point, I was able to clearly view the small black pistol and observed that the muzzle of the firearm was pointed directly at me. I observed the muzzle flash from Boyd pistol's and heard a loud. I now knew Boyd was shooting at Officers on scene. It should be noted that at the time of the incident, a large group of civilians had gathered around the location. I ducked behind the patrol car and heard the Officers on scene return fire in defense of Police and Civilians on scene. I stood back up and raised my patrol rifle to engage Boyd, who was at this time a threat. I moved to the right side of Officer Chamberlain and observed Boyd now laying on his right side on the top step of the church with his back towards me. I could see the glass door behind Boyd was cracked with small holes in it, consistent with bullet holes. I lowered my rifle as Boyd no longer presented a threat. Officer D. Martinez #10028 then turned towards me and stated, "I've been hit" or shot. He then informed me that he had been hit in his arm and indicated the lower half of his left forearm. Officer Chamberlain cut off Officer Martinez sleeve and I grabbed ahold of his arm to assess him for injuries. Immediately, I felt a wet and warm liquid on my hand and removed it. I looked at my hand and observed blood on my hand and knew Officer Martinez was injured. I then placed a torniquet on Officer Martinez' arm at approximately 1744 hours before Officer Chamberlain led him away to Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD) personnel. After securing my patrol rifle in my patrol vehicle, I assisted Units on scene with detaining subjects entering the crime scene that resulted in a Use of Force. For further, refer to my supplemental report on DR 240058099. My partner and I then reported to the Command Post where we were relieved from the scene.

Pruiet #10764) and I (Officer A. Cheatham #11365) were working uniformed patrol as Unit CF1 when we assisted Unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain #10221) on a text to 9-1 -1 call that later evolved into a REACT call out and an officer involved shooting at the Iglesia de Cristo Church at Atlantic Avenue, Call 1190. LOCATION The location is described as the following: Atlantic Avenue is a church (Iglesia de Cristo Church) which is located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue, just north of 52nd Street. The church has a white rod iron fence located in front of it, just east of the east sidewalk. The front door of the church faces westbound towards Atlantic Avenue and there are steps that are located just west of the front door of the church. DISPATCH The call stated the following: Subject is a Male Hispanic, bald, and tall. The calling party texted that there is a man with a gun by the church. The calling party’s location was showing at Atlantic Avenue. UPON ARRIVAL Upon arrival, I observed northbound traffic of Atlantic Avenue at 52nd Street shut down. There were two patrol vehicles on Atlantic Avenue facing a northwest direction, just south of Atlantic Avenue and another patrol vehicle facing north, just north of Atlantic Avenue. Two EAT’s (Emergency Action Team) were set at the vehicle south of Atlantic Avenue and another EAT was located at the patrol vehicle north of Atlantic Avenue. There was a Male Hispanic (later identified as decedent Brandon Boyd) sitting on the church steps. He was wearing a black shirt with a black and white plaid shirt over it and light-colored pants. All three EAT’s were located approximately 30 yards away from Decedent Boyd who was seated on the steps. Unit 3S37 (Sgt. B. Hearst #10766 and Sgt. J. Jacobs #10041) directed me to tape off the west sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue due to pedestrian activity and to retrieve another 40MM less lethal launcher. I then joined the EAT located to the southwest of Atlantic Avenue, the suspect was to the northeast of our location. I remained a part of the same EAT until I was later relieved by SWAT personnel. Officer Pruiet was to my right and Unit 3Z30 (Officer S. Estrada #11142) was to the right of Officer Pruiet. Unit MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117), a mental evaluation team officer, later arrived and joined Officer Estrada as the two main verbal points of contact with Decedent Boyd for the duration of the call. I recalled Decedent Boyd making statements which made it seem that he was going through a mental health crisis. Decedent Boyd stated how he came to the church and was going to end his life, however the church doors were locked. Decedent Boyd at one point made a statement about how he was “an ex-felon with a firearm.” Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada both relayed to Decedent Boyd that we were there to assist Decedent Boyd with his mental health crisis, whether or not he did or did not have a gun on his person. Officer Estrada and Officer Garcia warned Decedent Boyd multiple times that we did not want to hurt him, but if he did not comply with our lawful orders, that we may use force against him. There were countless times that Decedent Boyd was told to stand up and surrender himself peacefully to officers on scene. Decedent Boyd was not compliant with any of the commands he was given and remained in the same position, seated on the church steps, for over two hours of verbal negotiation. I believed Decedent Boyd was unwilling to comply with any order and did not stand up because he had already made a statement about being “an ex-felon with a firearm,” which led me to believe that he was concealing a firearm. Decedent Boyd remained on the top step of the church and would continually look down towards his right pant pocket. Decedent Boyd put his hands up and then drop them down behind him at other times. When Decedent Boyd was told to roll over towards his left side, he refused to do so. About one hour into negotiating, Decedent Boyd had family members arrived across the street who advised him to put Printed on: 3/16/2025 10:04:26 AM | Page 1 of 2Reporting Officer: Cheatham 11365 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .010INCIDENT REPORT his hands up and surrender to officers, however he still did not comply. Decedent Boyd appeared to become emotional and distracted when he noticed his family members were nearby. Unit 3S37 advised that we would have units control the family to not distract Decedent Boyd. Decedent Boyd later made a statement about how “he was selfish” when Decedent Boyd and Officer Garcia were talking about Decedent Boyd being suicidal. Several officers on scene aired over police radio that they observed Decedent Boyd was sitting on a handgun and that the handgun was located underneath Decedent Boyd’s right buttocks. At approximately 1635 hours, Unit 3S37 advised that the call would be a REACT call out, meaning that SWAT personnel would be called in to the scene due to the nature of the call and the presence of a firearm on Decedent Boyd’s person. REACT SWAT REACT officers arrived on scene and relieved patrol officers who were on the EAT’s located to the south of Atlantic Avenue. I stepped back and to the right of the patrol vehicle where I was originally standing. Officer Estrada gave announcements using the Public Announcement speaker in the patrol vehicle and told Decedent Boyd to keep his hands up. I heard SWAT officers advise that they would be deploying a flash bang. I saw a flash bang being thrown towards the front fence of the church and then observed a flash before a loud bang sounded. I then saw Decedent Boyd reach downward towards his right side and heard an unknown number of shots after he reached down and towards his right. I went towards the right side of the patrol vehicle and observed Decedent Boyd laying on his right side on the top church step, facing eastbound towards the front door of the church. I turned back and observed Officer Pruiet placing a tourniquet on Officer Martinez’s (#10323) left arm. I heard screaming towards the west sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue and observed family members of Decedent Boyd running into the southbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue. Sergeant Jacobs was advising the family members to stay on the sidewalk. The family members on scene (later identified as RNB Tyerra Boyd and Arrestee Desiree Boyd) were not complying to the lawful orders being given to them and later assaulted Sergeant Jacobs which resulted in a takedown use of force.

De La Torre #10947) was working uniformed patrol as Unit 3B19. At approximately 1518 hours, I responded to assist Unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain #10221) at Atlantic Avenue, regarding an unknown trouble call (Call#1190). The call stated there was a bald male, possible Hispanic, with a gun by the church. Unit 3B21 (Officer E. Betancourt #6117), Unit 3B24 (Officer J. Connell #10777), Unit 3B81 (Officer F. Pena #6014 and Officer A. Trujillo #6214), Unit 3B54 (Officer C. Jackson #11093), Unit 3B20 (Officer J. Carreon #11001), and Unit 3S37 (Sergeant B. Hearst #10766 and Sergeant J. Jacobs #10041) responded to assist. Upon arrival, Officer Betancourt aired over the radio that he saw a male Hispanic sitting on the steps in front of the "Iglesia De Cristo Miel De Long Beach" church at Atlantic Avenue. I positioned my vehicle to block off northbound traffic on Atlantic Av from 52nd St. I grabbed the less than lethal 40mm launcher from a police vehicle. I was a part of the southern E.A.T. "Emergency Action Team" along with Officer Jackson and Officer Betancourt. We were approximately 25 feet southwest from the subject. Officer Pena, Officer Trujillo and Officer Connell assembled an E.A.T. on the north side of Atlantic Av and were approximately 25 feet northwest from the subject. The subject was a bald male Hispanic/or Black wearing a gray jacket and dark pants. The subject matched the description given in the call. Officer Connell aired over the radio that the subject was making suicidal statements. The subject stated that he was the one who texted the police in order for us to respond. He also said that he had a small caliber weapon on his person. Officer Trujillo aired over the radio that the subject had a shiny metal object underneath his right buttocks. We attempted several times to have the subject show us his hands and surrender peacefully but he refused to comply with our orders. Unit MET1 (Mental Evaluation Team Officer A. Garcia #10117) and Unit 3Z30 (Hostage Negotiator Officer S. Estrada #11142) responded to assist. Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada tried to be empathetic to the subject and reassure him that we were there to help him. We did not want him to hurt himself or others. The subject was sitting on to the top step in front of the Church. He refused to stand up and kept fidgeting around. Officer Garcia also emphasized to the subject that if he did not comply with our orders, force could be used against him. Unit 3C53 (Officer S. Hunt # 11004) aired over the radio that the subject appeared to have a small handgun underneath him and appeared to try and conceal it from the officers. After approximately 2.5 hours of de-escalation, I was relieved by SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) personnel. I was tasked with moving back spectators and bystanders who were nearby on the northeast corner of Atlantic Av and 52nd St. As I was facing southbound on the east side of Atlantic Av and 52nd St (approximately 100 feet south from where the subject was), I heard a loud bang which I was later told was a flash bang deployed by SWAT. Moments later, I heard approximately 10 to 15 shots in the area where the SWAT personnel and the subject were. I did not see the shooting incident. I grabbed the yellow tape with "Police Line Do Not Cross" written on it and put it up on the southwest perimeter of the incident and around the Jack in the Box ( Atlantic Av). I was tasked with scene security on the east side of the location on Via Vernanda and Atlantic Plaza until I was later relieved by Unit 3B84 (Officer D. Orloff #11119 and Officer D. Kelley #11416).

My BWC was recording the incident. Prior to writing this police report I did not review my BWC. This report is a synopsis of the event and is based on my recollection of the event and notes taken at the scene. On 11/19/2024 at approximately 1539 hours, I (Officer N. Dyer # 10167) was working uniformed patrol as unit 3C19, I assisted units on text 911 incomplete call in the area of Atlantic Ave (Call # 1190). The call stated possible subject with a gun. The suspect was described as a male Hispanic bald and tall. The call stated the subject with a gun was by the church. Upon arrival, there was numerous units on scene. There was an Emergency Action Team (E. A. T.) on the south side of Atlantic Ave north of 52nd St and another E.A.T on the north side of Atlantic Ave north of Atlantic Ave. There was a male Hispanic bald, wearing light blue jeans and a black t-shirt seated on the stairs of Atlantic Ave (Iglesia De Cristo Miel De Long Beach). I joined the E. A. T on the southside of Atlantic Ave. The male subject appeared to be suffering from a mental health crisis and appeared to be distraught. The subject was speaking with MET Officer Garcia and made several references to having a gun. Officers from the north E.A.T stated they could see a black object on the right side of his body near his buttocks. I observed the subject tap his right leg several times. Officers attempted to negotiate with the subject for over an hour at this point and the subject refused to stand up and follow our commands to surrender. I heard the suspect as MET Officer Garcia, why it would bother him if he had a gun, but didn't point it at us. This statement along with the suspects actions lead me to believe the black object Officers observed the subject sitting on was a gun. Long Beach PD SWAT REACT was activated for the incident. Once SWAT personnel started to arrive a tactical plan was formulated. I was tasked with being a SWAT operator on the northeast E.A.T, which was positioned in the courtyard on the north side of the church. My role was lethal cover, I was with Officer L. Mays # 11381 who was assigned Less lethal (Taser), Officer K. Moreno # 10775 who was hands on and Sgt J. Kirk 6051, who was the team leader. Just prior to the plan being implemented the north E.A.T. on Atlantic Ave aired over the police radio they could see a small black handgun. Our role was to stay behind the building in the courtyard as the front E.A.T. deployed a flash bang diversionary device and 40MM Less Lethal rounds. Once able we were to turn the corner of the building and if the suspect was away from the handgun, rush the suspect and take him into custody. I heard the flash bang deployment followed by several 40MM less lethal rounds being deployed. We turned the corner of the church and immediately heard several more rounds being fired. These rounds sound like gun shots. Knowing we were in extreme danger if we proceeded, we turned around and moved back to our position in the courtyard. Once we heard no further movement or gun shots, we turned the corner again, where I observed the suspect lying flat on his back, on the stairs of the church. His left arm was away from his body to the west and his right arm extended to the east. We approached the suspect to render medical aid. I stayed on the suspects left side. I checked for a pulse on the left side of the suspects neck (the carotid pulse). I advised Officer Mays who was on the right side of the suspect I did not feel a pulse. Officer Mays started chest compressions. I attempted to located and wounds that needed any immediate attention. I observed two wounds on the chest, and one on the left side. I then took over on chest compressions. Long Beach Fire was on scene and took over medical aid on the suspect.

Kloss #11257) was working uniformed patrol as unit 3C22 when I assisted unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlin #10221) near the area of Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street regarding possible person with a gun near the church (call #1190). This call later resulted in an officer involved shooting. As I was en route to the call, I heard via police radio that the initial arriving officers had located a subject in the area of the dispatched location that matched the description provided by the subject who texted 911. This subject was sitting on the steps of the, "Iglesia De Cristo," church located at Atlantic Avenue. As I arrived on scene, I parked my vehicle near the north/east corner of the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street. I observed officers had blocked both northbound and southbound vehicle and pedestrian traffic on Atlantic Avenue. I exited my police vehicle and joined the south E.A.T. (emergency action team). I was assigned a role as the lethal cover officer for our E.A.T. During the incident. I observed there was another E.A.T. of patrol officers north of the suspect's location. I observed the suspect was seated on the top step of the church located at Atlantic Avenue. Shortly after I arrived on scene, I observed unit MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117) arrive on scene as well. Officer Garcia began speaking with the suspect as he was still seated on the steps of the church. Officer Garcia advised the suspect numerous times that the police were there to help him, but he needed to comply with our lawful commands.

Over the span of approximately two hours, both Officer Garcia and unit 3Z30 (Officer S. Estrada #11142) spoke with the suspect at different times as he was seated on the steps of the church. During their negotiations, I heard both Officer Estrada and Officer Garcia tell the suspect numerous times to stand with his hands in the air and surrender to officers safely or force may be used against him. The suspect failed to follow both Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada's lawful commands when he was asked each time to surrender. I heard the suspect speaking back and forth with officers during this two-hour time period, but it was difficult for me to hear exactly what the suspect was saying due to where I was standing. During the negotiations, I observed the suspect shift his weight from one side of his body to the other as he was still seated on the ground, and he would not stand up. I heard the suspect tell Officer Garcia that his buttocks was hurting. Officer Garcia told the suspect numerous times that instead of standing up and surrender to officers, the suspect could scoot his buttocks down each step to the sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue and place his body in the prone position. When asked to do this, I observed the suspect would raise his hands momentarily, slightly scoot closer to the top step, but never down the steps. The suspect would then place his hands back down shortly after and stay seated on the top step. Both Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada continued speaking with the suspect telling him officers on scene did not want to hurt him or use force against him but rather get him help for what he was experiencing. During the negotiations, I heard via police radio that the SWAT React team was en route to the location of the incident. This was when I heard via police radio that an Officer who was north of the suspect's position was able to see a firearm near the rear portion of the suspect's body. After SWAT had arrived on scene, our E.A.T. was briefed on their tactical plan moving forward. I was relieved from my position on our E.A.T. by a SWAT officer. I stood behind the south E.A.T. as the other SWAT officers took their positions on both the north and south E.A.Ts. I observed a SWAT officer deploy a flash bang in front of the south E.A.T. I then observed 40mm less lethal projectiles being deployed at the suspect, but I did not see which officers launched these 40mm projectiles. This was when I observed the suspect use his right hand to reach back behind his back and take possession of a black colored handgun. The suspect raised the handgun in the air and aimed it directly at the officers who were standing just north of my position. I firmly believe the suspect was going to shoot or kill the officers that were on scene. I observed the suspect fire two rounds towards officers as I could see he had the firearm aimed directly at officers. As the suspect was shooting the firearm, I observed the muzzle flash from the barrel of the firearm each time the suspect fired the gun. As the suspect began shooting at officers, I took cover behind the rear of the police vehicle that had been parked in front of the south E.A.T. After the suspect shot at officers, I heard an unknown amount of gun shots which I believed to have come from officers on the E.A.T.s. I looked up towards where the suspect was and observed him laying on the top steps of the church with his back facing me. I then walked back towards the south E.A.T. and observed Officer Chamberlin walking towards me with Detective D. Martinez #10323. As Detective Martinez was walking towards me, I observed he had a black colored tourniquet applied to his upper left arm. I observed a red colored substance on his left arm which I believed to be blood. Officer Chamberlin told me to advise the Long Beach Fire Department that an officer was injured, and it was clear for them to enter the scene to treat both the injured officer and suspect. I ran towards the area of Atlantic Avenue and 51st street where the Long Beach Fire Department was staging. Officer Chamberlin and Detective Martinez also walked to where the Long Beach Fire Department was staging in order to be treated for his injuries. As Detective Martinez was being treated by the Fire Department, Officer Chamberlin was giving me the items that the Fire Department was removing from his person. I took custody of Detective Martinez's helmet, plate carrier, radio, watch, shirt and two gloves. I secured these items in the rear seat of my patrol vehicle and kept them in my possession until placing only the shirt and plate carrier into evidence. For the remainder of the incident, I was tasked with conducting scene security on different parts of the perimeter. While speaking with unit DH7 (Detective Hutchinson #5779), it was determined Detective Martienz's body worn camera may still be recording. While on scene, Detective Hutchinson and I walked to the rear of my patrol vehicle, and I turned Detective Martinez's body worn camera off. After being cleared from the scene, I transported Detective Martinez's plate carrier and shirt to 400 West Broadway. While at 400 West Broadway, Detective Hutchinson took possession of Detective Martinez's body worn camera. I booked Detective Martinez's plate carrier and shirt into evidence (evidence items #1 and #2).

Jackson # 11093) was working as unit 3B54 in a marked black and white patrol vehicle. I assisted Unit 3B22 Ofc. Chamberlain (# 10221) in the area of the Iglesia De Cristo Miel church located at Atlantic Ave regarding a possible male Hispanic suspect who was armed with firearm (Call #1190). While en route, I heard officers air via police radio they located the suspect and he was sitting in front of the church. Upon arrival, I parked my patrol vehicle on Atlantic Ave just north of 52nd St. I observed numerous marked LBPD black and white patrol vehicles parked just north of where I parked my patrol vehicle on Atlantic Ave. As I walked northbound toward the patrol vehicles, I observed officers utilizing a nearby patrol vehicle as cover due to the suspect possibly being armed with a handgun. The patrol vehicle was oriented in an east/ west direction on Atlantic Ave just south of the church. I was assigned by Sgt. B. Hearst (# 10766) to join the Emergency Action Team (EAT) that was positioned south of the church. I was tasked with providing lethal cover for Ofc. A. De La Torre (# 10947) who deployed a less lethal munitions launcher as member of the southern EAT. I observed another EAT positioned just north of the church. I heard an officer who was assigned to the northern EAT attempting to contact a male Hispanic suspect who identified himself as “Brandon”. He was wearing a light grey hooded sweatshirt, black short sleeve shirt and light-colored jeans. The suspect was in the seated position on the front steps of the church facing westbound toward Atlantic Ave. I heard officers from the northern EAT utilize de-escalation tactics telling the suspect something similar to his life mattered and he needed to walk toward officers with his hands up and surrender to officers on scene and he would not be harmed. They attempted for approximately 10 minutes to get the suspect to peacefully surrender to officers on scene. The northern EATs attempt to de-escalate the situation were unsuccessful and the suspect refused to surrender. I observed Ofc. S. Estrada (# 11142) position herself behind a nearby patrol vehicle that was parked on Atlantic Ave just west of the southern EAT. I heard Ofc. Estrada utilize de-escalation techniques and try and build a rapport with suspect for several minutes attempting to get him to allow officers on scene to peacefully take him into custody. I heard Ofc. Estrada tell the suspect to put his hands up and walk toward officers and he would not be harmed several times. I heard her attempt to tell the suspect that his family needed him to peacefully surrender, and he still had a lot to live for. The suspect again refused surrender to officers on scene, and he started to make suicidal statements that he was possibly going to force officers to shoot him. I heard Sgt Hearst air via police radio he needed a Mental Evaluation Team (MET) officer to respond to the scene to assist with taking the suspect into custody. Unit Met 1 (Ofc A. Garcia # 10117) responded to the scene. Ofc. Garcia and Ofc. Estrada attempted to continue with de-escalation techniques, and they spoke to the suspect for at least 2 hours again attempting to convince him to peacefully surrender to officers on scene. I heard them continue to tell the suspect that he had a lot to live for and any mistakes he made can still be fixed. They also attempted to tell him his family needed him to live, and they would take him to the hospital to help him receive mental health treatment in order to deal with his suicidal ideations. During that period, I heard Ofc. Estrada and Ofc. Garcia give the suspect at least 5 verbal use of force warnings that if he reached for a firearm, force may be used against him. After numerous attempts to get the suspect to surrender he still refused surrender to officers on scene. I heard Sgt. Hearst air via police radio the LBPD SWAT react team would respond to the scene. When the SWAT officers responded to the scene, SWAT Sgt. Owens (# 5717) notified me and the other officers on the southern EAT that the SWAT officers were taking over the EAT. After being relieved by SWAT personnel, SGT. Owens directed myself, Ofc. De La Torre and Ofc. Betancourt to move a group of approximately 20 bystanders that were standing near the northeast corner of Atlantic Ave and 52nd St southbound away from the incident. As we were moving the bystanders southbound across 52nd ST, I was facing southbound away from the Church. I heard a single loud bang that I believed was a flashbang device being detonated. Shortly after the flashbang was detonated, I heard loud popping sounds that sounded similar to Less Lethal munitions launchers being deployed. Several seconds later I heard a series of approximately 6 to 8 gunshots coming from north of where I was standing. I heard an unknown officer air via police radio an officer involved shooting occurred. I was facing southbound on Atlantic Printed on: 3/18/2025 11:52:44 AM | Page 1 of 2Reporting Officer: Jackson 11093 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .017INCIDENT REPORT Ave away from the church when the officer involved shooting occurred, I did not observe the circumstances that led to the officer involved shooting occurring. See the involved officers use of force reports for further. After the shooting occurred, I was tasked by Sgt. J. Jacobs (# 10041) to move approximately 10 to 15 bystanders out of a vacant dirt lot the was located near the northwest corner of the intersection of Atlantic Ave and 52nd ST to secure the western outer perimeter of the crime scene. Other officers and I directed the bystanders westbound 52nd St toward Linden Ave. We placed yellow crime scene tape in a north/south direction across 52nd ST just east of Linden Ave to prevent vehicles and other bystanders from accessing the crime scene. After securing the western perimeter of the crime scene, I was tasked by Sgt. Heady (#10033) to assist him with clearing approximately 20 bystanders from the Jack and the Box restaurant (Located at Atlantic Ave) parking lot and the surrounding area so command post could be set up in the parking lot. We also placed yellow crime scene tape along the west side of Via Veranda near the intersection of Atlantic Plaza and Via Veranda to establish the eastern outer perimeter to prevent vehicles and other bystanders from accessing the crime scene. I secured the eastern outer perimeter until I was relieved by unit 3A20 Ofc. T. Blayne (# 5895). See his follow up report for further.

Betancourt #6117, assisted units who were dispatched to the area of 52nd Street and Atlantic regarding a subject with a gun. Call 1190. While enroute dispatch aired a text to 9-1-1 had been placed regarding a possible 417, referring to gun, subject is a male, possible Hispanic, bald, tall with a gun by the church. Call further stated subject is wearing a sweater and pants. I was traveling southbound Atlantic Avenue toward 52nd Street and observed a male Hispanic, sitting on the steps of the church (Iglesia De Cristo Miel) located at Atlantic Avenue who was wearing a sweater with his hood on and pants. The Church is just north of 52nd Street along the east side of the roadway. I completed a U-turn and aired I observed a male sitting on the steps of the church. I stopped my marked police vehicle just south of the Church and kept my eyes on the subject sitting. I observed the male holding a cell phone in his left hand, his right hand was along his right side, out of my sight. I asked dispatch if the calling party had given any further details. The subject I observed sitting started to wave me away with his left hand as he held the phone, he removed his hood, I could now see he was bald. I did not see anyone else in the area that matched the description of the subject on the call. The subject on the stairs was alone. I observed Officer J. Connell #10777, unit 3B24, arrived and parked his police vehicle just north of the church and made contact. I stepped out of my vehicle and Officer Connell told me he saw the subject holding something but placed it behind him, which he could not see anymore. Officer Connell was giving orders to the subject in which he was not complying. As Officer Connell was giving the subject orders I heard the subject state, clear all traffic, make it safe. I observed the subject start to cry. He also stated he was the one that texted and made the call. I aired via my hand-held radio the statements he had just made and that he had started to cry. I moved my police vehicle and blocked northbound lanes on Atlantic. Officers arrived and blocked southbound traffic on Atlantic. Traffic was now blocked in both directions. Officer J. Carreon #11001 assisted with blocking traffic and posted up alongside with me by my police vehicle. We decided to allow officer Connell to be the officer making verbal commands in order not to confuse the subject with commands coming from different directions. At one point the subject was heard making the statement that he had a small caliber weapon on him. It was aired the subject was sitting on an item which at this point it was not clear what the item was. Officer A. Trujillo #6214 and Officer F. Pena #6014 arrive and parked their police vehicle just north of the Church. Officer S. Estrada #11142, unit 3Z30, a hostage negotiator, arrived on scene and started negotiating with the subject. Officer A. Garcia #10117-unit Met1 also arrived on scene and both Officer Garcia and Estrada worked together and in which they attempted to build a rapport with the subject and have him comply to surrender. As Officer Estrada was building a rapport with the subject it was found the subjects name was Brandon. I heard Brandon state that he had a small caliber and if he did it, while pointing his empty hand at his head, he would end up "retarded" and, in the hospital, and jail. We formatted a plan along the south side and formed an emergency action team in which Officer A. De La Torre #10947 was less lethal holding 40MM launcher, officer C. Jackson #11093 was his lethal cover, Officer C. Kloss #11257 was lethal cover, and I was the hands-on officer (arresting officer). Officer Garcia and Estrada continued with their verbal commands. The subject made the statements that he was not against us. He pointed in each direction and stated he liked everyone along the north side and as well as us, as he pointed to the officers of the south side. I heard the subject make a statement that he had said goodbyes to . When I heard this statement along with asking us to clear traffic, crying and that his small caliber was too small, I believed the subject was setting up the scene for a suicide by cop.

A large gathering was forming just south of us where a number of people where either yelling or laughing. I could not make out all statements made by the subject on the stairs of the church. During the negotiating Officer Garcia attempted a number of times to have Brandon stand up or slide down the steps away from the church. Brandon did not move from where he was sitting. Brandon removed his sweater and placed it behind him, slowly, and showed us that he had nothing. He at one point lifted his shirt and exposed his waistline. He later removed his shirt and threw it by the sidewalk but at no time did he move from where he was seated. Officers along the north side aired it was believed the subject (Brandon) had an unknown item under his right buttock, where he failed to move from. Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada continued to negotiate and attempted to have him comply and move away from where he was seated. At one point a discussion continued regarding smoking in which Officer Garcia attempted to negotiate and offered Brandon a pack of cigarettes if he would just comply and walk in his direction. Brandon slowly removed a cigarette from his pocket on the right side and lighter which I believe was on his left pocket. Brandon grabbed both items with his left hand and kept his right hand free at all times. Brandon started to smoke he cigarette. It was not always clear what was said between the officer and Brandon at times due to background noise, especially when the news helicopters were overhead. This made it difficult to hear what was being said. Brandon placed his sweater back on at one point as Officer Garcia continued to ask him to comply that we were there to help him and that was his job. Officer Gracia repeated a number of times that no matter how bad it can be that tomorrow will be a new day and that he can help him. Brandon would not comply. He would slightly slide to the edge of the step in which it appeared he was going to slide down to the next step but stopped. It appeared as he attempted to keep the item under him. As he sat at the edge of the top step, I observed an item behind him that was partially under him, the item appeared to be a small black item and laid flat. I did not have a clear view of the item. At one-point one of the officers on the north side got a clear view of the item Brandon had placed behind him and under and aired it was a gun. During the negotiating between the officer and Brandon, S.W.A.T officers arrived and formatted a plan, we were told they will deploy flash bangs. SWAT officers relieved us from our post, along the south side of the location. We (Officer Jackson, Officer De La Torre and I) were instructed to move the crowd east away from the sidewalk that has formed south of our location. We instructed the large group to move back, I explained the subject has a gun and I do not want them to be in the line of fire and concerned for their safety. As the crowd was slowly moving back (east) away from the sidewalk as they were yelling at us, I heard a loud bang, and shortly after what I believed to be gun shots. Everyone in the crowd started to yell and attempted to push forward toward the sidewalk. I instructed them to move back and prevented them from running onto the street or toward the scene. I posted as perimeter security along 52nd Street and Atlantic Avenue as individuals continued to attempt to cross under the posted yellow do not cross tape. Once the scene was secured, I was assigned as officer F. Pena's peer officer.

At approximately 15:16 hours, while working as unit WC4, I (Lieutenant R. Wexler #5728) was monitoring a call in which officers were dispatched to a person with a gun at E 56th Street, call #1190. Upon their arrival, they encountered a male subject who stated he had a small caliber weapon on him and was making suicidal statements. I responded to the scene. While enroute, I arranged to have Lieutenant Danielle Quinones take over as the on duty Watch Commander. Upon my arrival at approximately 16:20 hours, I saw that the subject in question was at the front of the church at the location. There was an emergency action team (EAT) just to the north of the entrance to the church and another to the south of. I believed that the placement of these teams was necessary to prevent the subject from leaving his current location and that he could possibly injure or kill others if he was allowed to do so. There was a Police Service Dog unit at the scene. Mental Evaluation Team Officer A. Garcia #10117 and Hostage Negotiator Team Officer S. Estrada #11142 were speaking with the subject. They seemed to have somewhat of a rapport with the subject, who would follow some instructions, but was not fully cooperative and was not surrendering. He would at times put his hands up and eventually removed his shirt. Officers could see an unknown metal object under the subject. After evaluating the circumstances with SWAT personnel at the scene, REACT was activated. While de-escalation efforts continued, officers at the scene were able to see that the unknown metal object was a firearm. I was in the area behind the south EAT at a police vehicle. My view of the subject's lower body was obstructed by a police vehicle at the EAT. REACT personnel arrived at the scene. A media outlet helicopter was overhead, and it was requested that they go to a higher altitude so that negotiation efforts with the subject could continue without the helicopter noise making this difficult. A tactical plan was formulated. For further, see follow up reports. Once implemented, a flash bang distraction device was deployed by an officer. Shortly after, I heard what sounded like several gunshots. After seeing that Officer D. Martinez had been shot, with an officer applying a tourniquet to his left arm, I instructed officers to get a vehicle for his transport to a hospital. Officer Martinez was escorted away by Officer D. Chamberlain and taken to Memorial Hospital for treatment. Life saving measures were performed on the subject by officers at the scene, as well as by the Fire Department. The subject was determined deceased at the scene and later identified as Brandon Boyd. I notified Homicide Lieutenant Fernandez of the incident. I made arrangements with Communications for Search and Rescue, Public Works, portable restrooms and the MEOC to be brought to the scene. I instructed Sergeants J. Lacey and R. Davenport to get public safety statements from the officers involved in the shooting and to collect their BWCs for the investigative team. At approximately 1756 hours, Sergeant J. Kirk sent me a photo of a gun and a photo of casings in broken glass to my work cell phone. I later instructed him to place these into evidence. Safety checks were performed in the area. The command post location was moved into the parking lot of the Jack in the Box at 52nd and Atlantic Avenue. I remained on scene as the Incident Commander until I was relieved by Lieutenant M. Hynes at approximately 22:45 hours.

Pena #6014) and I (Officer A. Trujillo #6214) working uniform patrol as unit 3B81 assisted Officer D. Chamberlain #10221 en route to the area of Atlantic Ave regarding a 911 text regarding a person with a gun near a church. The call stated the subject was a male, possibly Hispanic, bald, tall, wearing a sweater and pants. Call #1190 Prior to our arrival, Officer E. Betancourt #6117 aired over the police radio he observed a male Hispanic sitting on the steps. As I drove southbound Atlantic Ave from Market Street, I observed several patrol units on the eastside of Atlantic Ave just north of 52nd Street in front of a church (Iglesia de Cristo Miel De Long Beach). I drove my patrol vehicle southbound on the northbound lanes of Atlantic Ave and stopped southbound in lane #2 just north of the church in front of Atlantic Ave. I exited my patrol vehicle and walked southbound towards the church and observed a dark skin male with a shaved head wearing a dark flannel, dark t-shirt and dark pants sitting on the top step of the stairs in front of the church. The subject was the only person on the stairs and there was no one in the front yard of the church. I observed the subject holding an object on his right hand which he quickly moved and placed flat behind him and partially sat on it. The object the Suspect placed behind him was consistent with the size of a small handgun. The subject matched the description of the suspect and he was in front of the church so I was confident this was the subject which the 911 text was about. I feared that the subject had placed a handgun behind him which he was still holding. We ordered the subject to show us his hands which he didn’t initially comply with. After a few seconds the subject moved his right hand towards the front of his body without the object he initially had. I still had a partial view of the item which was behind him which shined in the sun and appeared to be metal. I took cover in front of a patrol vehicle (#18985) which was stopped northbound Atlantic Ave along the east curb just north of the dispatch location. Officer J. Connell #10777 and Officer Betancourt began to speak with the subject and he admitted that he had called. The Suspect further stated if he had a bigger caliber he wouldn’t have needed us and pointed at his head with his right hand. The Suspect also asked us to clear traffic. I feared that the Suspect was referring a to the caliber of a weapon and was possibly trying to commit suicide by cop. Assisting officer stopped traffic on both directions on Atlantic Ave. It should be noted that when we arrived on scene it was sunlight and as the incident progress it turned into night. We formed an emergency arrest team (EAT) on the north side of the subject. Officer Pena retrieved his AR-15 riffle from the vehicle, Officer J. Craver #10996 had a 40mm launcher, Officer L. Sands #11271 was hands on, Officer Connell #10777 was verbal, Officer Chamberlain and I also assisted on the EAT. A large crowd gathered on the westside of the street and began yelling and interfering with our communication with the Suspect. I then moved the crowd northbound and placed police tape across Atlantic Ave. I also inform employees of a barbershop on the westside of the street of the situation and advised them to close the business for their safety. Officers continued to give the Suspect several commands to surrender through the incident, but he didn’t comply. MET Officer A. Garcia #10117 arrived on scene and took over negotiations with the Suspect, along with HNT Officer S. Estrada #11142. They both continue to negotiate with the Suspect who didn’t comply with their commands to surrender. They advised the suspect we were there to help him and didn’t want to hurt him. They advised him that he called for help and were there to help him. The Suspect was also advised that if he didn't comply force could be used against him.

He also removed a bracelet he was wearing in his left hand. The Suspect removed a cigarette from his person and lit it. I noticed he only used his left hand to smoke it and his right hand was kept clear. He would make his right hand into a fist then open it as if he was stretching it. I feared he was trying to get it ready reach for the possible weapon he had placed behind him to hurt me or another officer. I couldn’t hear the entire interaction of the Suspect with Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada due to my position in the north perimeter, crowd noise and the police vehicle engine noise. Sergeant B. Hurst #10766 advised over the police radio that the Suspect was sitting on a small handgun. SWAT team personnel arrived on scene and began to relieve officers from their positions. Sergeant R. Davenport #6289 advised my partner and I that a flashbang was going to be used and the plan to take the Suspect into custody. Sergeant Davenport directed Officer Connell and Officer Robbins to secure the north perimeter and they walked northbound. Officer Pena was kept as lethal and I was tasked with being hands on. I holstered my handgun and was stretching my hand which was becoming numb when my attention was drawn to the crowd behind me which several times during the incident would scream at us and the Suspect. As I was looking back, I heard a loud bang and saw a cloud of smoke near the Suspect then felt a piece of shrapnel passing near my head. I immediately ducked near the front hood of the vehicle. I then observed the Suspect reach with his right hand and retrieve the metal object he was sitting on and I observed it was a handgun. The Suspect grabbed the handgun with his right hand then swung it from a north direction towards our direction which was in a northwest direction. I hadn’t removed my handgun from my holster and as the Suspect gun swung my direction I ducked again and retrieve my handgun and heard several gunshots. I then came back up and noticed the muzzle flash from the Suspect’s handgun in a west direction. I then looked to my left and observed Officer Pena fire his AR-15 rifle once in the direction of the Suspect. The Suspect then laid on his stomach on the top step of the church and SWAT personnel approached him and rendered medical aide until they were relieved by Long Beach Fire Personnel. I didn’t see any other further force being used. After the incident I was initially task with being a peer counselor to Officer Pena. Later I was relieved by Officer Betancourt who became Officer Pena’s peer counselor.

DEC Boyd appeared to match the description on the call and was facing in a western direction. I also observed Unit 3B21 (Officer E. Betancourt #6117) stopped south of the dispatch location and DEC Boyd appeared to be communicating with Officer Betancourt, however, I was not able to hear the initial portion of the conversation. I heard DEC Boyd request we clear vehicle traffic and advise he made the "call" to the Long Beach Police Department Communication Center. I observed Unit 3B24 (Officer J. Connell #10777) north of the dispatch location and Officer Connell advised he observed an unknown object on the right side of DEC Boyd's body. I instructed DEC Boyd to follow our instructions, or force could be used against him. I then began to direct northbound Atlantic Avenue vehicle traffic to make a U-turn and drive southbound from the dispatch location, in order to clear vehicle traffic from the area for safety reasons. Unit 3Z30 (Officer S. Estrada #11142) arrived on scene and took over communication with DEC Boyd. I heard DEC Boyd advise he had a small caliber weapon on him, and he would have taken care of himself if he had a larger caliber weapon. I advised the Communication Center of the statement DEC Boyd made regarding having a small caliber weapon on his person.

DEC Boyd continued to obstruct the right side of his body with his black and white hooded sweater and continued to reach near his right buttocks area while he was communicating with uniformed Long Beach Police Officers. The REACT team was activated through the Communication Center. The sun began to set, and spotlights were used to illuminate the area where DEC Boyd was seated. The REACT team advised of a possible deployment of a "flash bang" distraction device. Shortly afterwards, I heard an explosion and a flash of light in the curb area in front of the dispatch location/DEC Boyd. I observed DEC Boyd jump while in a seated position as a result of the distraction device. I heard uniformed police officers order DEC Boyd to drop the gun. I then observed DEC Boyd reach under his buttocks area, recover a black handgun with his right hand, and DEC Boyd shot approximately 3 times in the direction of uniformed police officers. I then heard multiple gunshots (unknown number) from uniformed police officers in response to DEC Boyd's actions. I observed uniformed police officers approach DEC Boyd who was located on the top of the stairs, render the scene safe, and began life saving procedures (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR) on DEC Boyd until Long Beach Fire Department medical personnel began CPR on DEC Boyd. I was then tasked with providing security of DEC Boyd. I observed the following: DEC Boyd was laying down in a supine position on the top of the stairs of the dispatch location with his head oriented in a southern direction. Both of his legs were fully extended and were oriented in a northern direction. DEC Boyd's left arm was fully extended in a western direction, and his right arm was fully extended in an eastern direction. DEC Boyd was wearing a black and white flannel hooded sweater, faded blue jeans, and brown loafers. DEC Boyd's sweater was unbuttoned and near his shoulders exposing his abdomen area. I also observed 4 white medical pads on his abdomen and a clear oropharyngeal airway tube extruding from his mouth. A bullet appeared to have been partially lodged on DEC Boyd's abdomen area, and I observed a clear occlusive type of patch on his chest area with what I recognized to be blood underneath the patch. I contacted the Los Angeles County Coroner and was provided with coroner case #2024-18125 by Coroner Marchado #689719. Coroner McKracken #491917 responded on scene and took possession of DEC Boyd. Coroner McKracken advised of the following: Tattoos: "B" on left shoulder, "L" on right shoulder, "RIP " on right forearm, and an unknown name in cursive on the right side of DEC Boyd's neck area. Injuries front: Approximately 1" bruise to DEC Boyd's left elbow area, 1 gunshot wound to the chest, 1 gunshot wound to the abdomen area, and one bullet partially lodged in the abdomen area. Injuries back: 1 gunshot wound on upper right of back, 1 gunshot wound on upper left of back, 1 gunshot wound on the left side of back, approximately 2" contusion to the upper back area (possibly from 40mm impact weapon). Coroner McKracken took possession of DEC Boyd's body and removed DEC Boyd from the scene.

We contacted the command post and we were tasked with conducting knock and talks along the west side of Atlantic Avenue north of 52nd Street. We walked to Atlantic Avenue (Pet lovers Animal Hospital) but Officer Meyer was already conducting interviews here. For further, see his follow up report. We continued north to the Precise Barbershop located at Atlantic Av. This business is located on the west side of Atlantic Av north of 52nd St. The front door to the business faces eastbound toward Atlantic Av. We contacted the people inside the business and found there were inside of the business. I contacted the three employees and interviewed them. Officer Navarro interviewed the clients of the shop. For further, see his follow up report. I interviewed who told me the following: is here at the shop. He did not have a client during the incident. He saw a subject talking back and forth with the Police across the street at the church. was sitting down in a barbershop chair facing northbound when he heard a loud bang and multiple gunshots following the bang. He looked out of the window and saw the subject rolling over to his side. He then saw Police officers performing CPR on the subject. described the subject as a male Hispanic, mid 30's, bald, wearing a black shirt and a white and grey flannel jacket. I noticed there were surveillance cameras along the northeast and southeast corners of the building. The cameras faced southeast and northeast. believed the cameras did not record but did not have access to the cameras. He told me the had access. I interviewed who told me the following: is here at the shop. He observed a male subject sitting at the church across the street having a standoff with the police. The standoff lasted approximately 2-3 hours. He then heard a loud bang and multiple gunshots following the bang. looked out of the window and saw the subject on his back. The police then performed CPR on the subject. described the subject as a male Hispanic, bald, in his mid 30's, wearing a black shirt. I interviewed who told me the following: is at this shop.

The subject was wearing a black shirt. had his back toward the window of the business and was not looking outside when he heard a loud bang and multiple gunshots simultaneously. After he heard this, looked outside and saw the subject laid out on his back. The Police walked up and performed CPR on the subject. described the subject as a male Hispanic, mid 30's, wearing a black shirt, khaki pants, and a flannel jacket. I knocked on the door of Atlantic Av (House of Haven) but there was no answer at the door.

On 11/19/24 while working as unit MET1, my partner (LACDMH RN Bescoby 606891) and I (Officer A. Garcia 10117) responded to Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street, regarding a subject who was in crisis and possibly armed with a firearm, call 1190. As the MET unit, we often respond to assist patrol units handling crisis calls, we provide resources when able and hospitalize subjects when they meet the 5150 WIC criteria. The MET units will sometimes assist patrol, SWAT/HNT in de-escalation of calls and my goal is to get voluntary compliance. We arrived at the scene at 1540 hours, I advised my partner to stand by in the vehicle due to her not having a vest and the subject was possibly armed. While on scene, I observed a black and white unit parked northwest in the #2 lane of northbound Atlantic Avenue. The vehicle was approximately 25 yards Southwest of Atlantic Avenue (Iglesia De Cristo Miel de Long Beach). An EAT was formed at the vehicle along with Unit 3Z30 HNT Officer S. Estrada 11142 who was standing by the driver's door. I noticed a second EAT team facing Southbound in the #2 lane of Atlantic Ave just North of Atlantic Avenue. The subject was identified at the time as Brandon. Brandon was sitting on the top of the stairs, in front of the church glass doors (Church closed). Brandon was talking to an officer on the 2nd EAT team. As I approached the 1st EAT team I waited to initiate contact with Brandon. At approximately 1544 hours, I introduced myself to Brandon and began my efforts to deescalate him, I negotiated with him from the driver's door of the black and white. My goal was to get Brandon to voluntary comply and surrender. Officer Estrada and I would work together to have Brandon surrender himself. In the first minutes of the negotiation a Rutherford Warning was given to Brandon. He was advised that if he cooperated no force would be used against him. I advised him that failure to comply could lead us into using less lethal force and up to lethal force if he had a weapon and did not cooperate with directions. Brandon was offered help and resources immediately in an effort to gain compliance. Brandon refused and stated he already had resources and help. Our negotiation took place in English, Brandon understood and engaged in communication with us for two hours without any incident or misunderstanding. During the negotiation Brandon stated to us that he drank some alcohol, and he drank more than he should off. He was asked on several occasions if he did have a firearm on him, Brandon never admitted to us that he had one only danced around the question, when it was asked. He always stated that it was his upper hand that we did not know whether he had it or not. Brandon pretended to cooperate with us by taking of his long sleeve shirt and at a time lifted his t-shirt to show us the front of his waistband. Brandon later took off his t-shirt. Many attempts were made to get him to stand or roll over to his belly. Brandon never cooperated, he never stood up or rolled over to his left side like he was asked to do so OTHER PERSON(S) WITNESS #1: BROWN, KALEAH DOB 7/17/2005 Age 19 Sex F Race Other HGT 5ft 02in WGT 155 lbs Hair Brown Eyes Brown Address Phone License #State SSN CII #FBI # PERSON SUMMARY ROLE ROLE #NAME DOB RACE SEX JUVENILE WIT 1 BROWN, KALEAH 7/17/2005 O F NO Printed on: 3/18/2025 1:51:54 PM | Page 1 of 3Reporting Officer: Garcia 10117 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .026INCIDENT REPORT on many occasions. Brandon always acted like he was going to cooperate but was only stalling. Brandon maintained seated the whole time and favored sitting on his right butt cheek to possibly conceal the firearm. He was asked directly if he had a gun, but he never answered the question, Brandon continued to tell us this was his upper hand, I believe it gave him some sort of control. I even asked Brandon if he was trying to commit suicide by cop, but he did not reply. I notified 3S37 Sergeant Hearst 10766 that it was my opinion that Brandon was suicidal and was attempting suicide by cop. Officer Estrada and I continued to talk to Brandon we attempted to keep him engaged and continued to offer him resources, there were several times I believed he was going to comply. At one point during negotiations family members arrived on scene. Family was yelling at Brandon, and they appeared upset. Brandon seemed triggered or upset by some of the family members presence and at one point teared up and cried. As the negotiation was approaching two hours, Brandon was given plenty of opportunity to voluntarily comply. A second Rutherford warning was given to him. Brandon was advised by Officer Estrada and I that we were running out of time and that time to surrender was now. Brandon was given many opportunities to surrender but he continued to refuse and did not cooperate. Brandon was advised that no force would be used against him if he cooperated. Brandon was also advised that if he had a gun and did not reach for it no force would be used. He was advised several times that we wanted a peaceful outcome; we offered resources, and we wanted to get him help. Brandon stated that what was done was done and we could not help him. Brandon even made reference that he came to the church to kill himself, but we got here too soon, and it was locked. As our negotiations were stagnant and no progress was made, SWAT was on scene and would soon take over. While the SWAT team was getting ready to take control of the scene, I had SWAT officers take positions to the left of me towards the hood and front bumper of the black and white. I also observed other SWAT officers towards my right, the rear of the black and white. After SWAT officers took their place and positions, I heard a verbal command, flash bang out, which initiated SWAT officers to begin and take control of the scene. I observed the flash bang deployed from the rear of the vehicle. The flash bang went off and it was followed by the sound of 40mm less lethal go off (distinct thud). I observed Brandon fall back and then observed two or three red flashes coming from Brandons right hip I believed to be gun shots being fired at us. I immediately ducked and bent over to my right fearing I could be shot, killed or seriously wounded. I did not see any officers fire their firearms, I only heard and unknown amount of gun shots follow while taking cover. Our officers had no choice but to fire their weapons at Brandon, to defend themselves against imminent threat of death or seriously bodily injury to themselves and the public. I then got back up and observed SWAT officers go towards Brandon. While standing there absorbing what had just occurred, I looked towards SWAT officers to my left and heard one say he was hit. Fellow SWAT officers removed him and provided first aid to him. My attention was then drawn towards the West of us on the sidewalk. The scene became very chaotic quickly, many onlookers were yelling and screaming at us. Some subjects ducked under the yellow police tape and were walking towards us in rage and anger yelling at us from the sidewalk, "Why did you shoot him, he did not even have a gun." The subjects were trying to make their way towards Brandon. It was later determined they were family members. In attempt, to remove them from our crime scene, I grabbed a female with a green jacket by the arm and was trying to move them towards the sidewalk, I was trying to get them to calm down, I even told her that Brandon had a gun and shot one of our officers believing that those words would calm her down. They were in disbelief and angry and continued to curse us and tried to make their way towards Brandon, but we could not let them as it was now a crime scene. We were able to control them but only for seconds because they continued and persisted in their efforts to attempt and push through us. Several of Brandon's family members did not cooperate and a use of force occurred. For further details see DR 24-58099. Witness Kaleah Brown: While witness Kaleah Brown was detained in the back seat of my vehicle, pending further investigation it was found out that she was on scene at the time of the incident.

While on scene she heard a few gun shots, she looked towards the church and saw some sparks and smoke coming from the area. She then saw her mother (later identified as ARR Desiree Boyd) and her aunt go under the yellow tape into the empty parking lot closer to the scene. Kaleah stated she then followed them past the yellow tape to the West sidewalk of Atlantic Ave, closer to the scene. As she approached, she observed and officer slam her mother on the floor, so she ran over to help her mom. Kaleah grabbed both of her mother's arms and tried to pull her away from the officer. It was immediately after that moment that officers pulled her away from her mother and placed in handcuffs, she was then sat in the back seat of a vehicle. She stated no one hit her or used any additional force.

Estrada #11142) was working uniformed patrol in a marked police vehicle as Unit 3Z30. I was enroute from the police range to the North Police Substation (4891 Atlantic Avenue) for the watch 3 (afternoon shift) squad meeting. I am assigned to this shift but had started my workday one hour early to complete our required range qualification. Officers were then dispatched to the 5200 block of Atlantic Avenue for a text sent to 911 stating there was a male with a gun at the church there. I heard officers state they were making contact with the subject, and he was not complying with their orders to show his hands. As a trained member of the Hostage Negotiator Team, I decided to respond to this call and assist with speaking to the subject. Upon arrival, I observed the church was on the east side of Atlantic Avenue, just north of 52nd Street. The front door and steps of the church (Iglesia De Cristo Miel De Long Beach) faced westbound, and the suspect (later identified as Brandon Boyd) was sitting on the top step. Officer J. Connell (#10777) was speaking to the suspect from the north side of our containment. I approached from the south side and stood behind cover of a police car, approximately 50 feet from the suspect with nothing else in between us or interfering with our conversation. I overheard the suspect say that he was the subject who made the text to 911 as I walked up. I observed a cellphone on the lower steps in front of the suspect, which I believed to be the suspect's that he threw down prior to my arrival. I then notified Officer Connell that I would take over the conversation. As I'm trained to do in negotiations, I introduced myself and notified the suspect that I knew he texted us for help because he was having a bad day. The suspect stated, "No, I'm having a bad life." I began building rapport and attempting to get further on the root issue the suspect was having at that time. He began to cry and put his head in his hands. I continued to ask the suspect for his name, because using a person's name in conversation is useful to build rapport; but the suspect continued to mutter things such as it does not matter and would not comply. The suspect stated he did not want this to be about us, it was about him. I assured him it was. Officers on the north side stated the suspect was holding an unknown item in his right hand as they arrived, and he still had his right hand concealed in his jacket pocket. The suspect overhead officers say this and confirmed he was holding something then stated, "If I could guarantee, if it was a bigger caliber, I would have just pointed it towards myself and found a nice quiet place." This statement gave me the impression the suspect wanted to commit suicide, but because he was not sure his firearm was a large enough caliber to ensure his death, he made the text to 911 to force officers to react defensively when he placed them in a deadly situation. I did not hear the exact words used, but I know the supervisors on scene were airing via radio the updated information the suspect was relaying to me in conversation, so that all officers on scene and those enroute were aware of the situation. The supervisors on scene requested a MET Unit (Mental Evaluation Team) to assist as well due to us believing the suspect had plans to harm himself. I continued to speak with the suspect. I assured him we had resources, that his life mattered and we all cared and that was why we were there on scene. The suspect stated back to me, "You seem like a nice lady, but when I made that text, it was already over. I literally, I wanted it to be." I continued to build rapport with the suspect and attempt to get further information on what issues he was facing in life. I assured the suspect that if he would follow our orders so we could safely contact him, I could help. The suspect stated, "I promise you if I live it aint gonna be better." The suspect continued to state that we could not help him because of what he has done. I assured the suspect we could work through it. I assured the suspect we were not judging him for his past choices and if he had any questions about the process of what was going to happen, then I would answer all of them. I told the suspect that we did not want to hurt him and wanted him to surrender safely so that we could get him the resources he needs. The suspect stated, "The fact that I am already here, you cannot help me." Throughout our conversation, the suspect did not give any indication that he could not understand us or that we needed to speak to him in a different language. He appeared to speak English well and was conversating. The suspect stated he came here to do 'something' and once he took a few minutes to process this whole situation he was going to do it. I asked the suspect what he came here to do and he stated, "I told my kids and my wife I'm done." I assured the suspect that his family would not want that, and he stated they did not have a choice. The suspect then stated, "Its a man with a gun, don't give me any special treatment." The suspect continued to not comply with our requests to surrender peacefully by standing up, walking forward and Printed on: 3/18/2025 2:07:26 PM | Page 1 of 3Reporting Officer: Estrada 11142 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .027INCIDENT REPORT laying flat on the ground on his stomach with his hands out above his head. Officer Connell began talking to the suspect again and asked him to comply with our orders to lay prone on the ground or stand and walk towards us, and he did not comply. Unit MET1 (Armando Garcia #10117) arrived on scene and introduced himself and began speaking to the suspect. The suspect stated he wanted a cigarette and could not find the one he had on his person. I offered him a cigarette if he would safely comply with us, and we even got a cigarette and lighter from subjects that arrived on scene and stated they were family members of the suspect. Sgt B. Hearst (#10776) asked me to break away from the negotiation while Officer Garcia was speaking with the suspect to help Officer Garcia's partner, Clinician G. Bescoby. Clinician Bescoby was trying to keep the family from crossing our crime scene tape on the southwest end of our scene. The family members were extremely rude, uncooperative and defiant to our orders at first to stay behind the tape. They identified themselves as 'cousins' of the suspect but did not want to give any information about the suspect other than he was depressed and upset because his cousin, had passed five years ago, and the anniversary of that death was recently. Working together, Officer Garcia and I attempted for over 2 and a half hours to get the suspect to comply. We used tactics such as appealing to his emotional side by talking about how he needs to live for his kids and his Cousin . The suspect stated they could not help him now when that was brought up. We appealed to his human needs by asking him to comply and then we would allow him to smoke the cigarette we got for him. We offered water and food, but none of these options worked. At one point the suspect stated he knew he was going to jail because it was, "an ex-felon with a firearm, prohibited possessor." I assured the suspect I was not lying to him, and we did have to place him in handcuffs, but we would figure out the situation after we knew more of the facts. The suspect still did not comply. Several times throughout the conversation, we gave the suspect a warning that we were there to help him, but if he did not comply then force (including less lethal, K9, or possibly deadly) would be used to take him into custody if needed. The suspect admitted at one point that he was selfish and that's why he was here. We attempted to use the tactic of asking for small acts of cooperation at a time since the full orders were not being followed. We asked the suspect simply to stand up with his hands up, to show us that he was not sitting on anything and there was nothing in his waistband. The suspect continued to attempt to lay towards his right side and refused to stand up. The suspect stated that was his leverage and he was not going to give it up. Because this was not followed, we then decided to ask the suspect to scoot over slightly to the left or lean to the left to verify if he was hiding the firearm under his right side. Officers on the north side stated they could see the firearm. Shortly after, Officer Pruiett who was standing next to me stated he could see a small black firearm under the right side of the suspect through his rifle scope. Confirming we knew he had the firearm; we told the suspect this and he still refused to comply. We again warned him that we were trying to de-escalate the situation and help him, but we needed him to comply, or force may be used against him to take him into custody. The SWAT React Team was activated and responded and set up personnel to reinforce officers on the north and south containments we had set. Officer Garcia and I attempted to still keep conversation with the suspect. News media helicopters arrived on scene and created a lot of noise, causing the conversation to deteriorate because it was now dark, so we had to use spotlights on the suspect, and he could no longer see or hear us. I had now been on scene for over 2 hours speaking to the suspect and attempting to gain his compliance, but he continued to refuse. The suspect then stated he had 'put on enough of a show, everybody go back home and he was ready to do it.' I then sat in the driver's seat of the vehicle we were standing behind for cover and used the PA speaker system to speak to the suspect. I lowered the passenger side window and had a very clear sight of the suspect and did this so that I could still hear him as best as possible while talking. It was very difficult to hear anything he was saying in return to us due to the news helicopter overhead being so close and loud. Supervisors on scene had requested we ask the helicopter to go further away to assist us, but they did not oblige. The suspect continued to lean to the right and try to conceal the firearm behind his back right side. I again reminded the suspect to just keep his hands up where we could see them so that this could end peacefully. The suspect refused our orders every time to stand up and be taken into custody. At this point, I truly felt through my training and experience as an officer and a negotiator that nothing was going to help the suspect comply and he truly made his mind up that he wanted to commit 'suicide by cop.' SWAT officers then made a tactical plan to take the suspect into custody because his non-compliance for the last 2 and Printed on: 3/18/2025 2:07:26 PM | Page 2 of 3Reporting Officer: Estrada 11142 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .027INCIDENT REPORT half hours of negotiating. An officer threw a flashbang into the street in-between the suspect and us officers on the south side containment. I observed the suspect look directly at the flashbang and then reach with his right hand for the firearm behind his back. The suspect pointed the firearm directly at us officers near the front of the vehicle I was sitting in and fired his gun. I observed the muzzle flash as the firearm was discharged by the suspect, pointed right at myself and other officers in and near this vehicle. I believed there was a strong possibility of me being hit by the suspect's bullets in my head through the open window I was using to speak with him. I ducked down inside the vehicle and then moved out of it towards the left rear tire for cover. I heard several shots being fired and believed some to be the suspects and some to be from officers acting in defense. It was absolutely necessary for officers to act and immediately to stop the suspect due to him trying to kill us by firing his weapon directly at us. Due to ducking down for cover after witnessing the suspect fire at least two rounds at us, I did not observe or know what officers had acted in defense and shot the suspect. I then heard screaming from other subjects on scene behind us, which I believed to be the suspect's family members. I heard an officer near me (D. Martinez) was struck in the arm and I observed a large amount of blood on the ground near the front left tire of the police vehicle we were standing behind. SWAT officers assisted officer Martinez medically and other officers attempted to control the family members on scene that were trying to push through them towards the suspect. The scene was not secured because the suspect was not in custody and the firearm was still near him. Officer B. Weber (#10778) was standing directly next to Officer Martinez and was positioned on the hood of the vehicle. I notified Officer Weber that I would watch his back since he was still focused on the threat of the suspect. There was a large amount of commotion with the family members trying to break into our scene on the west side of the street, leaving Officer Weber's back exposed to this. Other SWAT officers were positioned on the north side and as soon as safely feasible, they approached the suspect and secured the scene by removing the suspect's firearm from his reach and began rendering medical aid to him. I observed them performing CPR as LBFD personnel rushed onto the scene from their staging position. LBFD took over medical aid to the suspect. All of us officers at the front of the vehicle then began checking our uniform and selves to make sure that we were not hit in the vest or elsewhere by the suspect's fire. All other officers appeared to not be struck by the suspect. At the direction of Sgt Hearst, I then began putting up tape around the area to secure our crime scene. The appropriate notifications were made, and the administrative side of the investigation began. I turned my body camera off at this point as I was at the Command Post and no longer conducting any official police business or taking enforcement. I did review my body worn camera before filing this report. This report is only a summary of the incident. For further, see the footage.

The MEOC is a command post vehicle which is deployed at large scale incidents or events. Officer Lamkin informed me that the MEOC "slide outs" were not working. The "slide outs" are walls on the MEOC that slide open to create a large style office space on the interior of the vehicle. I told Officer Lamkin I would respond to the command post located at Atlantic Avenue and 52nd street to assist him. I drove to the command post and attempted to help fix the mechanical and or software issue that was preventing the "slide outs" from operating. I was unable to fix the problem. While on scene, I did not do any investigation into the incident. I then departed the scene without further incident.

Jacobs #10041) and I (Sergeant B. Hearst #10766) were working as unit 3S37. We were driving a Long Beach Police Department black & white F150 police vehicle. We were both wearing navy blue wool police uniforms with a badge affixed to our left chest and shoulder patches. It should be noted I was preparing for the end of my work shift and recently docked my body worn camera. While driving to the incident, I realized my body worn camera was still docked at the north station. I requested Sergeant Lacey bring it to the scene and therefore had an activation that was approximately ten minutes late. Lieutenant Wexler was notified of the late activation. I did not review my BWC prior to reviewing this report. At approximately 1515 hours, unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain) was dispatched to an incomplete 911 call sent via text message to dispatch. The text indicated there was a tall male Hispanic subject possibly armed with a firearm in by the church at Atlantic Avenue. Officers arrived on scene within minutes and observed a subject matching the description sitting on the steps leading to the front door of the church located at Atlantic Avenue. An Officer broadcasted over the radio the subject was uncooperative and refusing to show them his hands. Based on my training and experience I know subjects with firearms are often unpredictable especially in situations they may potentially be having suicidal ideations. Atlantic Avenue is a major throughfare with heavy vehicle traffic. The intersection at 52nd Street is surrounded with businesses and residences. At the time of day, there were many pedestrians in the area and multiple students coming home from school. In any situation, a subject in possession of a firearm in this area is a significant threat to the community. Given the time of day and heavily populated area, this was a significant risk. Sergeants Jacobs and I arrived on scene and took over as incident commanders. Long Beach Fire was requested to stage south of the location. It should be noted, I later requested fire stage closer to the incident at Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street. I directed Officers to establish a primary Emergency Action Team (EAT) south of the suspect (later identified as Brandon Boyd). I requested a MET unit as well as a K9 unit to assist code-3 (lights and sirens). Officer S. Galloway from the hostage negotiation team (HNT) and MET Officer A. Garcia were assigned to the primary EAT and were tasked with communicating with Boyd. I assigned two Officers to less lethal munitions (40mm launcher) and directions an additional team of Officers as the arrest team. Additionally, I provided the arrest team with a first aid kit in the event they needed to render medical aid to Boyd prior to LBFD arriving. Sergeant Davenport arrived on scene and assisted in directing the secondary EAT north of the subject. This EAT also consisted of a less lethal and lethal cover. It appeared the church was unoccupied, and numerous attempts were made to contact a responsible party without any success. Shortly into the incident, Sergeant Lacey arrived on scene and assisted walking the perimeter of the church to ensure it was unoccupied and asses potential avenues of escape for Boyd. At approximately 1600 hours I contacted SWAT Sergeant R. Owens and advised him of the incident. At this point I Advised Sergeant Owens we had numerous patrol resources deployed and were going to continue de-escalation attempts and potentially deploy less lethal munitions and execute our arrest plan. I advised Sergeant Owens, I would contact him with any additional updates or needed resources. Approximately thirty minutes later after I was assisted on scene by Sergeant J. Kirk and R. Davenport in requesting the assistance of SWAT REACT team for additional resources. It was of our opinion; we could utilize tools available to SWAT and additional armor. As we awaited their arrival, additional de-escalation continued. I observed numerous bystanders in the area, I assigned an Officer to place yellow police tape south and north of the location to secure the scene. Numerous times throughout out negotiations, several family members of Boyd attempted to access a dirt lot directly across from him. I directed Officer Galloway to contact the family members in an attempt to better identify Boyd and his mental health history. Officer Galloway later advised me the family was uncooperative and refused to provide information. At one point, I spoke to numerous family members who continued entering the dirt lot and Printed on: 3/18/2025 2:30:23 PM | Page 1 of 3Reporting Officer: Hearst 10766 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .030INCIDENT REPORT advised them they were only further agitating Boyd. At this point, I spoke to a female Black subject in red pants (later identified as ARR Tyerra Boyd) who was seated on the ground of the dirt lot. She was uncooperative and initially refused to identify her brother (Brandon Boyd) by name. Officers continued for over two hours using strategic communication in an attempt to deescalate the situation. Through the negotiations, Boyd made multiple suicidal comments and mentions of having a firearm. At one point, Officer Garcia even offered Boyd a cigarette as he requested earlier, but was unsuccessful in coercing him into surrendering himself. I continuously observed Boyd maneuver his hands but refused to move from the seated position, leading me to believe he was attempting to conceal the firearm underneath him. After approximately an hour of negotiating with Boyd, he remained uncooperative and appeared to be stalling. As the sun began to set, Boyd eventually removed what appeared to be a cigarette from his pants pocket and lit it. Shortly after this, I observed Boyd became more agitated and appeared to begin sweating leading me to believe it may have been another stimulant and not a cigarette. For further on the negotiations, refer to Officer Garcia and Galloway's follow up reports. Once SWAT personal arrived on scene, Sergeant Ownes, Sergeant Kirk, and Sergeant Davenport developed a plan that involved the use of a flash bang, less lethal munitions, and the police K9. Sergeants ensured all EAT's were advised of the plan and would advise when units were in place and at the time of execution. For further, refer to their follow up reports. At approximately 1742 hours, Sergeant Owens advised we were going to execute the plan. I was overseeing the incident from the south EAT approximately 15 feet southeast of Officer D. Martinez. I observed a SWAT technician deploy a flash bang in the direction of Boyd. Immediately following detonation of the flash bang, Boyd looked in the direction of it and appeared to be unphased. I observed Boyd begin reaching with his arms while simultaneously SWAT Officer D. Martinez launched 40mm munitions in the direction of Boyd. I then heard and observed multiple Officers discharging their firearms. Officer Martinez then advised me he believed he took a round in his left arm. Officer Chamberlain and Officer Pruiett began tending to Officer Martinez and I initially planned to evac him in my Sergeant vehicle. We then deemed it more efficient to have fire evaluate Officer Martinez on scene and he was escorted to their stagging location. I heard continued females screaming north of my location in the dirt lot previously mentioned but observed what I believed was sufficient officers to address the crowd. I directed Officers to begin pushing the crowd at Atlantic and 52nd Street back as well as putting up additional crime scene tape. I then recontacted LBFD Captain D. Banning #71862 and requested he assist Officers rendering aid to Boyd. Banning advised they also requested an additional rescue to assist. I later learned LBFD R11 diverted from another call and responded to quickly assist and transport Officer Martinez to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. I directed Officer K. Moreno to secure the scene around the steps of the church where LBFD was rendering aid to Boyd. Following this, I observed Officers C. Prueitt and A. Cheatham attempting to handcuff a female (later identified as ARR Desiree Boyd) on the ground across from the church. I assisted standing her up at which time they escorted her to their vehicle. Sergeant Jacobs then advised me Desiree Boyd had previously grabbed his neck. I later learned of two additional uses of force that occurred following the Officer involved shooting. For further, refer to incident report 2400058099. Once additional Officers arrived on scene, we requested the small crowd across from the location move back to which they complied. I was then assisted by Sergeant Owens, and Sergeant Davenport to separate the four involved Officers and obtain a public safety statement. For further, refer to their report. We then utilized Sergeant M. Heady's vehicle and relocated our command post south of the location to the Jack in the Box parking lot Atlantic Avenue). Once at the command post, I was assisted by Officer F. Nogales as the scribe. I directed Officers to further contain the scene and begin collecting statements. Additionally, I assigned several neighborhood safety bike units to roam the perimeter as community Liasson Officers. for further, refer to the crime scene log.

Chamberlain #10221) was working uniformed patrol as Unit 3B22 when I was dispatched to Atlantic Av regarding an unknown trouble call made via text message (Call #1190). While en route, I was informed through dispatch the text was regarding a possible person with a gun. The subject was described as a Hispanic male, tall and bald. The Calling Party (CP) texted there was a man with a gun by the church. The location at Atlantic Av is a church with front doors that face west. A set of six concrete stairs ascend from the sidewalk, eastbound, to a landing that leads to the double-doors. On the north side of the property, a concrete walkway extends eastbound from the sidewalk and down approximately a quarter-length of the building. At the end of that walkway is a metal screen door that opens outward, right to left, that leads into an apartment complex listed as Atlantic Av. Unit 3B21 (Officer E. Betancourt #6117) was the first officer to arrive on scene and advised there was a Hispanic male sitting on the steps of the church, but he did not see a gun at that time. Unit 3B81 (Officer F. Pena #6014 and Officer A. Trujillo #6214) were also on scene and broadcast the subject on the steps of the church was refusing to show officers his hands. As I arrived on scene, I saw a patrol vehicle parked, across the northbound #2 lane just south of the location. A second patrol vehicle was parked, facing west in the #2 lane of Atlantic Av just in front of Atlantic Av. Traffic on northbound Atlantic Av at 52nd St was blocked for vehicle traffic and an officer on scene requested southbound traffic on Atlantic Av blocked just north of the location. I drove my patrol vehicle into the southbound lanes of Atlantic Av and parked it, facing northwest, in front of Atlantic Av. My vehicle's overhead light bar, which includes a forward-facing red light, were activated as my vehicle blocked traffic. I exited my vehicle and made my way over to the vehicle in front of Atlantic Av, where I met Unit 3B24 (Officer J. Connell #10777) who was standing at the rear-end (south) of his patrol vehicle. Officers Pena and Trujillo were standing at the front-end (north) of the patrol vehicle. When I got to the vehicle with Officer Connell, I observed a bald Hispanic male, in his early to mid 40's, sitting on the landing in front of the church's double doors. The subject was wearing a black and white, plaid-style jacket that was unzipped. He was also wearing what appeared to be beige color pants and brown shoes. Officer Connell was engaged in a dialogue with the subject on the landing trying to ask how officers could help him. The subject made a comment to Officer Connell saying, "If I had a bigger caliber, I would do it myself." I heard the comment and started to form the opinion the subject may be suicidal and was possibly hiding a gun somewhere near his person. Additionally, Unit 3B20 (Officer J. Carreon #11001) broadcast he heard the subject say he had a small caliber weapon with him, but none was seen. Unit 3Z30 (Officer S. Estrada #11142) arrived on scene and took over negotiations with the subject. Officer Estrada is currently a member of the Hostage Negotiation Team. It was unknown if the church was open or occupied at the time and, with the potential involvement of a weapon and the subject's close proximity to the front doors, I requested dispatch research utility billing to obtain a phone number for that location. Using that information, I requested dispatch contact anyone inside via phone and ask they exit the building through any exit other than the front doors. This would help mitigate the chances of a potential hostage situation if the subject was in fact armed and entered an occupied building. Both Officer Pena and Trujillo, from their vantage point, could see there was an item on the landing directly behind the subject. They were unable to determine what the item was due to the angle they were observing from and the distance. Based on the circumstances of this call and weapon involved, along with the potential for someone, including the subject potentially being injured, I requested the Long Beach Fire Department respond and stage at 51st St and Atlantic Av. LBFD Engine 11 and Rescue 11 responded and staged in the event an injury occurred. Both LBFD vehicles and personnel were later moved up to the southwest corner of 52nd St and Atlantic Av. Printed on: 3/18/2025 3:09:52 PM | Page 1 of 4Reporting Officer: Chamberlain 10221 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .031INCIDENT REPORT At this point, only Officer Pena, Trujillo, Connell and I were acting as the north Emergency Action Team (EAT) on the incident. We did however need extra personnel to complete the EAT, which included an officer designated with a less- than-lethal launcher and another officer to act as "hands on". The hands-on team, generally two officers, are the ones designated to physically take someone into custody. Unit CF2 (Officer L. Sands #11271 and Officer J. Craver #10996) arrived on scene and Officer Craver equipped himself with a 40mm less-than-lethal launcher. Once those two officers arrived at the EAT, I designated Officer Connell as the lethal cover, Officer Craver as the less-than-lethal and Officer Sands and I were going to be the hands-on team. Additionally, for their position, I designated Officer Pena as the lethal cover at the north and Officer Trujillo as the less-than-lethal. Officer Trujillo could utilize his Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) as his less-than-lethal option. Officer Sands and I would float between the teams based on the subject's movements if he advanced in our direction. I went back to my patrol vehicle and grabbed a medical kit and latex gloves in case an event occurred where an officer or the subject was injured and required immediate treatment while waiting for LBFD personnel to respond. Our medical plan for an injured officer on the EAT was to rally at the front (north) of the patrol vehicle and assess the injured officer before coordinating with LBFD personnel for transport. Unit MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117) also arrived on scene and took over negotiations with the subject, who was still on the landing. Officer Estrada and Officer Garcia proceeded to negotiate with him for nearly two hours. During the course of the dialogue, it was difficult to make out much of what he was saying. Additionally, a media helicopter was on scene overhead that added to the difficulty of hearing the negotiation. Both Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada made dozens of requests for the subject to stand up and surrender himself. All those requests were not complied with. The subject said he was homeless and didn't want any police help. He did not however present us with any potential solutions on how to resolve the situation. Most of the dialogue with Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada was difficult to hear due to crowd noise, vehicle noise and the fact the subject was talking away from us. At one point, the subject adjusted himself causing the back of his sweatshirt to lift slightly off the ground. When he did so, several officers and I noticed an item lying on the ground behind him. The item was difficult to make out, but it was small and appeared to have a rectangular shape. Officer Pena went and retrieved his patrol rifle, which is equipped with a Low- Powered Variable Optic. That particular type of optic able to magnify its field of view, allowing to zoom in and get better visuals on items at distance. During the negotiation with Officer Garcia, the subject removed his sweatshirt, which he placed on the ground directly behind him. Unfortunately, it covered the immediate area behind him, including the object we believed was a weapon. Again, we were unable to positively determine if it was a gun due to distance, angle and now the shirt covering it. As the negotiation went on, the sun started to set and our view of the area was becoming limited. I walked to the front of the patrol vehicle and activated a spotlight; shining it onto the area where the item was seen. It allowed us not only light to see the item, but also to keep lighting on the subject's hands to see if he started reaching for the potential weapon. The subject did not like the light being on, and he still continued to not cooperate. I heard via radio the Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) R.E.A.C.T. team was activated and en route to the location. The R.E.A.C.T. team is a small element of S.W.A.T. officers, generally six officers and a Team Leader (Sgt) that can be called upon to assist patrol when either additional resources, munitions, or armor are needed. The team can also be activated if the circumstances of a particular call exceed the capabilities of patrol. As R.E.A.C.T. was still en route to the scene, Unit 3C53 (Officer S. Hunt #11004) broadcast he was in a yard north of the church and could see a small handgun on the ground directly behind the subject. Our initial plan when R.E.A.C.T. arrived was to drive an armored vehicle southbound Atlantic Av in the northbound lanes. One officer would be lethal cover and a second officer would be assigned a 40mm multi-launcher (less-than-lethal) and a flashbang. The flashbang would be deployed and 40mm projectiles would be deployed immediately after. The purpose of the flashbang was to draw attention away from the team that was approaching from the opposite direction in order to execute a plan to safely take the subject into custody. Printed on: 3/18/2025 3:09:52 PM | Page 2 of 4Reporting Officer: Chamberlain 10221 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .031INCIDENT REPORT I was assigned the lethal cover for that particular mission, and I believed I could better fill the roll with a patrol rifle due to the distance, stability and accuracy a rifle provides. I retrieved my patrol rifle and returned back to the vehicle waiting for the plan to be initiated. While waiting for that plan to be initiated, I could hear Officer Garcia asking the subject to slide down one step. I could see the subject slowly sliding forward, but it appeared he was dragging butt on the ground as though he was trying to move the gun with him. That action, along with his earlier actions during the duration of the negotiation, led me to believe the subject wanted to keep the gun with him in order to induce a "suicide-by-cop". Once R.E.A.C.T. personnel started to arrive on scene, I was told the plan was being re-evaluated and a new plan was possibly being formulated. I was requested to respond to the south E.A.T., which is where my new role was going to be. When I got to the south E.A.T, I was briefed on the new plan. I would be assigned a single-round, less-than-lethal launcher and positioned behind the hood of the front vehicle. Det. D. Martinez #10327, a member of R.E.A.C.T., was assigned a multi-round, less-than-lethal launcher and would be positioned to my left (north). Unit K2 (Officer E. Moscoso #6164) would be positioned, kneeling at the front of the patrol vehicle and Officer B. Weber #10778 would be standing over Officer Moscoso as his lethal cover. Our plan was to be initiated by a flashbang, a diversionary device that emits a quick bright flash and a loud explosion. It is commonly used by the S.W.A.T. team and serves several purposes including: to illicit a response from someone in a residence when there is no response over a public address (PA) system. Secondly, it can be used to direct a suspect's attention away from a maneuvering element in order to give them more time to safely approach a suspect. In our plan, Officer M. Genna, a R.E.A.C.T. officer, was going to deploy the flashbang. There was going to be a maneuver element of R.E.A.C.T. officers staged in the north walkway of the church. Once the flashbang was deployed, less-than-lethal launchers were going to be deployed from the south. The main goal of this plan, specifically the less-than-lethal launchers, was to separate the subject from the gun and drive him toward the north element who would be able to safely take the subject into custody. The plan was briefed and all officers moved into their positions. I took my position behind the hood of the patrol vehicle with Det. Martinez to my left. Officer Garcia was still communicating with the subject as Unit YS1 (Sgt. R. Owens #5717) confirmed over the radio if all officers were prepared to implement the plan. Nobody objected, and Sgt. Owens advised to execute the plan. I had a single-round launcher prepared when the heard the flashbang explosion. I also saw the flash out of my peripheral south of the subject. I shouldered my launcher and deployed a single round, which did not strike the subject. I was focused on my launcher's sights and was unable to discern what the subject did after the less-than-lethal launcher deployment, including whether or not the subject discharged his weapon. As I could hear Det. Martinez's repeated deployments and was attempting to reload my launcher when I heard 8-10 gunshots. I did not see what officer's discharged weapons, but I presumed they were in different E.A.T. positions. I also heard an unknown officer broadcast over the radio "998", which is code to indicate an officer-involved shooting occurred. From the flashbang deployment to the officer-involved shooting, I estimate 2-3 seconds passed. As soon as the gunfire ceased, within 1-2 seconds, I heard Det. Martinez say, "I think I'm hit." This indicated to me that Det. Martinez was struck by gunfire. He was still standing, and I grabbed his left arm and walked him behind the patrol vehicle to utilize it as cover while treating him. He indicated he believed he was hit in the left arm. I had a pair of trauma shears on my uniform outer vest, which I removed to begin a primary assessment for injuries. I started on his left sleeve since that was his initial complaint, and cut Det. Martinez's long-sleeve shirt from the wrist up to the mid-bicep. When I got to the mid-bicep, I looked down at his wrist, where I was holding his arm, and saw my hand was covered in blood. I inspected the outside of his left forearm and noticed a single entry wound that was bleeding. Having known his body orientation while deploying a multi-round launcher, his left arm would have been extended outward slightly bent at the elbow. The entry would being where it was had me concerned the round could have possibly travelled up his arm, potentially toward his brachial artery. Unit CF1 (Officer C. Pruiet #10674) was standing with me and had a tourniquet prepared to place. A tourniquet is a Printed on: 3/18/2025 3:09:52 PM | Page 3 of 4Reporting Officer: Chamberlain 10221 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .031INCIDENT REPORT medical device, similar to a strap, that is placed when there is obvious or potential signs of massive hemorrhaging. The tourniquet is placed high the affected extremity and tightened down. A part called the windlass, fixed to the front of the tourniquet, is then turned to further tighten the tourniquet around the extremity. The overall concept is to restrict the damaged blood vessel to stop the hemorrhage and stop loss of blood. I instructed Officer Pruiet to place the tourniquet high on the arm, which he did. He tightened the strap and proceeded to synch the windlass until he felt it was properly placed. Once placed, my next task was to remove and secure Det. Martinez's weapons. I removed his multi-launcher and handed it to Officer Pruiet. I then moved around Det. Martinez and removed his pistol, which was holstered on the front of his ballistic vest. Per our medical plan, I then escorted Det. Martinez toward Engine 11 and monitored his gait and demeanor. He was responsive to questions and was able to walk on his own power, though I braced his right arm to ensure he did not fall if his conditioned suddenly worsened. When we arrived at Engine 11, Det. Martinez sat on a step at the passenger seat. Once LBFD personnel started triaging him, I removed his ballistic vest and placed it on the ground next to me. I dropped my shears back at the patrol vehicle, so I obtained another set from LBFD personnel and continued to cut Det. Martinez's shirt off. Once off, I inspected his back in order to determine if there were any other wounds, which there were not. Additionally, as part of a secondary assessment, LBFD personnel and I cut Det. Martinez' pants to the upper thigh to ensure he did not have any wounds to his legs. During the treatment, which included LBFD personnel wrapping his wound on the left forearm, Det. Martinez was sweating profusely and stated and was starting to get "woozy", indicating he was possibly going into shock. LBFD personnel placed him on a gurney and loaded him onto Rescue 11 preparing to transport. Once ready, I rode in the back of Rescue 11 as Det. Martinez was transported to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center (LBMMC). He was alert and coherent the entire transport as well as while he was being wheeled into the Emergency Room for treatment. Additional officers responded to LBMMC for officer security, so Officer J. Avila #5350 transported me back to the incident scene where I remained until being released to file my report.

The Mental Evaluation Team was requested and unit MET1 Officer A. Garcia #10117 responded code 3 (lights and sirens). The subject was making suicidal statements to officers and told them he had a small caliber weapon. K9 unit and additional units responded to the scene and set up multiple Emergency Action Teams (E.A.T.). The EAT's were staffed with Officers to conduct negotiations, less lethal equipped Officers and lethal equipped Officers along with hands on Officers to effect an arrest or take him into custody. Upon arrival, I observed Officers at an EAT in the street of northbound Atlantic south of the suspect facing in a northeast direction. There was an additional EAT in the street of northbound Atlantic north of the suspect facing in a southeast direction. The suspect was sitting on the top step and landing to the entry way of the Church. I contacted unit K2, K9 Officer E. Moscoso #6164 and unit 3C19, Officer N. Dyer to be briefed on the tactical situation. Officer Dyer also has ancillary duties as a SWAT Operator, and I also have ancillary duties as a SWAT team leader. K9 Officer Moscoso frequently works with SWAT as a K9 Handler. They advised me MET Officer Garcia was conducting negotiations with the suspect attempting to get him to surrender in an attempt at a peaceful resolution. They told me they had 40mm less lethal Officers at the north and south EAT. If the suspect did not comply and forced units to take action, Officers would deploy 40mm less lethal and they would evaluate the effectiveness and possibly use the K9. We also discussed designating lethal Officers to minimize the amount of lethal force used if a lethal situation was presented. Long Beach Fire Department was being staged to the south in case of medical emergency. The plan was to attempt negotiations for a reasonable time in hopes of peaceful surrender. We discussed contingencies for containment if the suspect ran. The north EAT would take him into custody if he ran north and the south EAT would take him into custody if he ran south or west. I checked in with the Sergeant on scene unit 3S37, Sergeant B. Hearst #10766 and Sergeant J. Jacobs #10041, who were at the south EAT. We confirmed the initial plan, the south EAT was going to be the primary with negotiations and K9 and the south and west containment. The north EAT was secondary and would only take action if the suspect ran north towards them. I went to the north EAT and contacted 3B22, Officer D. Chamberlain #10221, who also has ancillary duties as a SWAT Operator. Officer Chamberlain advised he had EAT roles assigned with less lethal, lethal and hands on. I briefed them on the initial plan and that we were the secondary EAT and going to let negotiations go for a while. Officer Pena told me he observed a black metal object with some silver and believed it to be a handgun but was unable to confirm at the time. The suspect had the object at his right side and was sitting on it. Officer Pena, Trujillo and the north EAT had a southbound view of the suspect's right side. The suspect frequently used his right hand putting it to his right hip where the possible handgun was located. MET Officer Garcia continued negotiations attempting to get the suspect to surrender in an attempt at a peaceful resolution. Unit SH2, Sergeant J. Kirk #6051, arrived on scene at the south EAT. Sergeant Kirk also has ancillary duties as a SWAT team leader. I met with Sergeant Kirk and discussed tactical options. We decided the activation of the SWAT REACT team was a viable option. The response would provide extra less lethal options and equipment, armored vehicle and highly trained personnel to aid in a peaceful resolution. WC4 Lieutenant R. Wexler #5728 was notified of the request for SWAT REACT. Negotiations by MET Officer Garcia continued the entire time in an attempt at a peaceful resolution. The suspects sister gave me cigarettes to see if that would help calm the suspect down. I gave Officer Garcia the cigarettes and told him to relay the information to the suspect as a possible bargaining tool. Unit 3Z30, Officer S. Estrada #11142, was on scene and assisting Officer Garcia with negotiations. Officer Estrada also has ancillary duties as a SWAT negotiator. I suggested they consider switching roles as primary negotiators if Officer Garcia has come to a Printed on: 3/18/2025 3:53:19 PM | Page 1 of 4Reporting Officer: Davenport 6289 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .032INCIDENT REPORT standstill with progress. They both attempted negotiations with minimal progress and the suspect remained sitting on the stairs to the entrance to the church. While SWAT react and additional personnel and equipment were enroute Sergeant Kirk and I discussed possible plans and use of the additional recourses. I responded back to the north EAT and advised them of SWAT response. The sun was starting to set, and lighting was becoming an issue. We used multiple spotlights to illuminate the suspect and the immediate area he was sitting. Unit 3C19 Officer J. Meyer #6311 and 3C53 Officer S. Hunt #11004 went to the rear of Atlantic north of the suspects location. As the sun was setting and the suspect was illuminated with spotlights, the visual contrast changed enough allowing Officer Meyer and Hunt to confirm the suspect was sitting on a handgun concealed under his right buttocks. Negotiations continued but were still unsuccessful and still at a standstill. Unit YS1, Tactical SWAT Sergeant R. Owens #5717 arrived on scene at the south EAT and developed a tactical plan with Sergeant Kirk. I met with them, and they informed me they developed a plan with SWAT personnel in attempt at a peaceful resolution. I transitioned from a patrol sergeant to the role of a SWAT team leader. After approximately 2 hours of negotiations, we developed a plan to take the suspect into custody with a minimum amount of force necessary to affect and arrest. SWAT planned to have an arrest team enter the rear of Atlantic and stage in the north walkway at the northwest corner of the building. The remaining SWAT personnel would be at the south EAT and deploy a flashbang distraction device and launch 40mm less lethal rounds in attempt to gain compliance. I was at the north EAT with SWAT Officer M. Lopez #11253, 3B81 Pena and Trujillo, CF2 Officer J. Craver #10996 and L. Sands #11271, 3B24 J. Connell #10777, 3C54 Officer E. Robbins #10877. I advised them of the plan SWAT was going to implement and advised them SWAT Officer Lopez was primary lethal. Officer Craver was near Lopez with a 40mm less lethal. Officer Sands and Trujillo were on standby as hands on. Officer Pena was to the north at the front of the patrol vehicle with an AR15 rifle. I told the north EAT, we were the north containment and would take the suspect into custody if he ran northbound past the arrest team and away from the south EAT. Officer Connell and Robbins were assigned to crowd control at the north police tape line. The Tactical Sergeant Owens was the team leader with the south EAT and the SWAT Officers at the South EAT. Sergeant Kirk was the team leader for the arrest team and took SWAT Officers to the north walkway to stage for the implementation of the plan. I was the team leader for the north EAT and north containment. The plan was confirmed, and all the elements were confirmed set. I advised the north EAT the plan was getting ready to initiate and they advised they were ready. I was facing northbound talking to Officer Connell when the flashbang went off. I turned south towards the suspect who was still sitting on the top step of the landing to the church entrance. I observed him roll to his right side and lean back. I heard and saw multiple 40mm less lethal rounds being deployed and strike the suspect. They had minimal effect on the suspect, and he used his right hand to reach under his right hip and buttocks and removed the handgun. When he removed the handgun, he swung his right arm and handgun from north to south pointing it at both the north and south EAT's. I heard him fire approximately 2 rounds as he was pointing the handgun in a west and southwest direction towards officers at the south EAT. I heard Officer Lopez and Pena fire 2-3 rounds each from their AR15 rifles. At the same time, I heard Officers from the south EAT fire an unknown number of lethal rounds. I did not see who was shooting from the south EAT. When the gun fire stopped, I observed Officer Craver reloading his less lethal 40mm launcher. I heard Sergeant Owens air over the radio 998, code for Officer involved shooting. I checked with Officer Lopez and Pena, and they confirmed they fired rounds from their AR15 rifles. I checked with Officer Craver, and he confirmed he fired his 40mm less lethal launcher. I heard Sergeant Owens air over the radio there was an Officer at the south EAT who was struck by gun fire in the arm and was receiving medical attention. I immediately started checking all the Officers at the north EAT for injuries and confirmed they were uninjured. I then held them in position as Sergeant Kirk and his team moved south towards the suspect to render medical aid and take him into custody. I observed Officers start CPR chest compressions until relieved by Long Beach Fire Department medical personnel. Once the situation was secured and stable, I separated the Officers involved in the shooting and assigned them a peer Officer and they sat inside a police car. They eventually relocated to the parking lot south of Jack In the Box south of Printed on: 3/18/2025 3:53:19 PM | Page 2 of 4Reporting Officer: Davenport 6289 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .032INCIDENT REPORT 52nd east of Atlantic near the patrol command post.

On Tuesday, November 19, 2024, my partner (Officer A. Trujillo #6117) and I (Officer F. Pena #6014) were assigned to North Division Watch II, as unit 3B81 in a marked black and white Ford Explorer Police Interceptor vehicle. My patrol uniform consisted of a Long Beach Police Department navy-blue long-sleeved shirt with Long Beach Police patches on each shoulder and a black outer bullet–proof vest. My outer bullet–proof vest featured an embroidered police badge on the front side and the word “POLICE”, in yellow lettering, on the backside. On the left front area of my outer vest, I carry my pepper gel in a pouch and my Long Beach Police Department issued handheld radio. On the right front area of my vest, I carry my handcuffs in a pouch, my pelican flashlight in a pouch and pouch to carry field interview cards and report receipts. My uniform and equipment would lead any reasonable person to believe I am a Police Officer. I have been a Long Beach Police Officer for approximately 23 years. Today at approximately 1517 hours, while on an unrelated call in the area of Lewis Ave, I heard dispatch ask over the radio if there was a unit available for a call in the area of Atlantic Ave. Dispatch further advised that a 911 text was received, and the text stated that there was a male, possibly Hispanic, bald and tall by the church and the male was armed with a gun, call #1190. Using our patrol vehicles computer, I put Officer Trujillo and I assisting on the male with a gun call. While enroute via westbound 56th St to southbound Atlantic Ave, dispatch advised over the radio that they were attempting to get a clothing description of the male with gun. As we were arriving, I heard unit 3B21 (Officer E. Betancourt #6117) say over the radio that there was male Hispanic at the steps of the Iglesia de Cristo Miel church at Atlantic Ave, but he did not see a gun. The church is located on the east side of Atlantic Ave north of 52nd St. The church property is between a public parking lot and Joshua’s Flowers flower shop at Atlantic Ave. At the front entrance of the church there are 2 glass doors facing west. In front of the entrance there are approximately 6 cement steps with handrails at each side. At the sides of the steps, there are small grass areas with palms trees on each side. At the front of the property, there is an approximately 2' cinder block wall with open bar iron fencing in between approximate 5' sections of the wall. On the north side of the property there is a walkway that leads from the sidewalk of Atlantic Ave to the rear of the church property. Approximately 30 feet back from the sidewalk at Atlantic Ave and north of the church there is an apartment building. The entrance to the apartment building is set between the church’s’ north wall and the apartments building south wall. Upon our arrival I noticed a Long Beach Police patrol vehicle (#N18985) facing north with its red and blue overhead emergency lights on, parked along the east curb of Atlantic Ave just north of Atlantic Ave. Due to the severity of the call and the possibility of an armed subject at the steps of the church, Officer Trujillo drove our patrol vehicle with the emergency lights and siren, southbound Atlantic Ave via the northbound lanes from just south of 53rd St. Officer Trujillo parked our patrol vehicle along the east curb of Atlantic Ave, in front of Atlantic Ave and just north of patrol vehicle #N18985. I immediately exited the passenger seat of our patrol vehicle and saw unit 3B24 (Officer J. Connell #10777) standing at the driver side rear of patrol vehicle #N18985 speaking to someone who was at the front of the dispatch location. I made my way to Officer Connell’s location and noticed a male Hispanic, bald, with a large build, wearing a black and white open front hooded flannel sweatshirt and light-colored pants sitting facing in a western direction at the top step of the steps the dispatch location. The subjects’ legs were in front of him and his feet on the third step from the top. The subjects’ right hand was beneath his right buttocks and his left arm he was moving freely. From my position, I could see his right hand sandwiched between his red underwear and a black semi glossy object. I heard Officer Connell tell the subject we were there to help him and for him to stand up. The subject replied several times that he had called on himself Printed on: 3/18/2025 4:14:42 PM | Page 1 of 4Reporting Officer: Pena 6014 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .033INCIDENT REPORT - and he was the one who had sent the text. At one moment, the subject yelled, “if I had a bigger caliber, I would have done it already”. Based on the subject’s statements and refusal to cooperate, I advised dispatch and the assisting units that the subject we were dealing with at the front of the church refused to comply with our lawful orders and refused to show us his hands. Believing the subject was armed, the possibility of a shooting occurring and the danger it posed to the public and businesses, I advised dispatch over the radio to have assisting units block off northbound Atlantic Ave at 52nd St. Officer Connell continued speaking with the subject and after several more attempts to get him to comply, the subject removed his right hand from underneath his buttocks and raised his empty right hand in front of him. I noticed the subject would then place both of his hands on top of his head, over his head and on his face at times and at times place his wrists over his knees and keep his hands in front of him. I subsequently changed positions from the rear of patrol vehicle #N18985 and made my way to the front of the patrol vehicle. I now was standing in front of the flower shop at Atlantic Ave and approximately 65' from the subject at the church. From this location, I gained cover and concealment but also got a better visual of the subject. From the flower shop I could hear music transmitting from a speaker set right outside of the business. Officer Trujillo contacted someone in the business and had the music turned off. As the subject continued communicating with officers, I could see a semi-gloss black object partially sandwiched between the subject’s right buttocks and the top step of the church entrance steps. Believing the object was possibly a handgun, I decided to use the rifle scope (Steiner 1x4) of my authorized AR15 to get a better view of the object. I walked to my patrol vehicle, which was located just behind me, opened the trunk area of the patrol vehicle and removed my AR15 rifle from its rifle bag. I retrieved a loaded Magpull AR15 magazine from inside of the rifle bag, checked that the rifle safety was on, inserted the magazine into the rifle and chambered one round. I advised dispatch over the radio I was deploying my AR15 (Code AR) and proceeded to then walk back to the position in front of patrol vehicle #N18985, magnified my rifle scope to 4 power and raised my rifle to see what the object underneath the subject was. What I saw through my rifle scope appeared to be the top of a black handgun slide and a shiny metal colored barrel through the ejection port. I then advised Officer Trujillo and assisting Unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain #10221) of what I had observed. The sun began to set, and I recommended we use the patrol vehicles passenger side spotlight to illuminate where the subject was sitting. Assisting unit CF2 (Officer L. Sands #11271) and Officer Trujillo assisted with shining the light on the subject. Once the spotlight was set on the subject, I could clearly see the subject and see the object the subject was concealing under his buttocks. As I maintained my position, I could hear the Long Beach Police Departments Mental Evaluation Team Unit MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117) and Hostage Negotiator Unit 3Z30 (Officer S. Estrada #11142) speaking with the subject. Officers negotiated with the subject to stand up, walk towards the officers in front and lay on his stomach, negotiated with him to roll onto his stomach with his hands out in front of him, negotiated with him to slide down the steps, but the subject refused. The subject at times appeared to cry, become agitated and at times point in different directions. Due to our location and the sound of our patrol vehicles engines, I was unable to clearly hear what the subject was saying to the negotiators. At one point, I observed the subject carefully remove his black and white flannel and carefully held it in front of him and shook it as if to show us there was nothing in it. The subject then placed the flannel behind him and partially covered the possible handgun he was partially concealing by sitting on it. At a point in the negotiation, I heard Officer Garcia reminding the subject that he had agreed that in 2 minutes he would comply and give himself up. The subject proceeded to point with is hands in directions in front of him as if speaking to people behind us officers and look up to the sky and run his hands down his face. As the subject continued with the gestures, I began to believe the subject was preparing himself for something other than giving up. The subject began placing his hands down to his side and crossing them on top of his knees. Nevertheless, the subject did not comply with the agreed 2 minutes. The negotiations continued between the subject and Officer Garcia and Officer Estrada. The subject refused to comply. Every time the subject was given an instruction, whether to lay on his stomach or slide down the steps, the subject would either slide his buttocks back or to the sides as of to conceal the object I believed was a black handgun. And every time the subject would move, I would raise my rifle, look through my rifle scope and attempt to get a better look at the object to confirm what it was.

As the subject smoked the cigarette, I noticed he only held it in his left hand while keeping is right hand free. The subjects' attitude and appearance began to change. I noticed the subject’s face appeared as if he was sweating and his eyes became glassy. I believed the subject again was mentally preparing himself to do the opposite of giving himself up. I believed the subjects intent was to take the handgun he had been concealing underneath him and point and fire the handgun at officers. After a few minutes, the subject finished his cigarette and negotiations continued. The subject continued sliding his buttocks back and forth concealing the object he was sitting on and moving his arms and hands in different directions. The subject subsequently reached behind him and grabbed the black and white flannel he had taken off, brought it in front of him and then placed the flannel’s hood on his head and draped the flannel over his back. After grabbing the flannel from the step, the object the subject was concealing became more visible. From my position and through my rifle scope I could see what appeared to be the bottom a black colored gun magazine and the outer edge of magazine well of a black handgun on the top step behind the subject. Assisting unit 3C53 (Officer S. Hunt #11004) also confirmed over the radio that he observed a small handgun near the subjects back and the subject was concealing it. Officer Hunt further stated that the handgun was not in the subject's waist band, but on the step where the subject was sitting, and he believed the subject was trying to conceal it. As the negotiations continued, Unit 3S6 (Sgt. R. Davenport #6289) advised me that SWAT/REACT had been activated and upon their arrival what their plan was. Sgt. Davenport advised me that I would be part of the north perimeter in case the subject would get up and run in our direction. Sgt. Davenport further stated that a flash bang would be deployed, and a team would approach from the north and use 40mm less lethal launchers to assist in taking the subject into custody. Shortly thereafter, REACT officers began arriving on scene and began taking positions on Atlantic Ave. During a radio transmission and while still at my position, I heard that the plan set forth by the REACT was ready to be executed. Minutes later while maintaining visual contact with the subject, I heard a loud boom from a flash bang deployed by the REACT team. The flash bang appeared to have gone off to the left of the subject and approximately 5 to 8 feet from him. As the flash bang went off, I observed the subject immediately look to his left and turn his torso counterclockwise. The subject then turned back to his right (clockwise), stood up onto his feet and from the third step down from the top step of the church steps, reached down and picked up the black handgun from the top step with his right hand. As I observed the subject reach down, pick up the black handgun with his right hand and begin to turn back towards the officers. I believed the subject posed an imminent threat to officers and innocent bystanders standing outside of our perimeter and the subject could cause death or serious bodily injury. I felt that because of the subject's unwillingness to comply, gestures he made, his demeanor, movements he made to conceal the black handgun, comments initially made and now the possession of a handgun the use of deadly force was necessary. As the subject turned back counterclockwise towards the officers, I immediately raised my rifle to my right shoulder and pointed my rifle towards the subject. I looked down my rifle scope and observed the subject still turning towards the officers with the black handgun in his right hand and raising the handgun up towards a southwest direction where officers were located. I then took my rifle from safe to fire and discharged my rifle 3 times. At my third rifle discharge, I saw the subject still holding the black handgun in his right hand and saw a muzzle flash from the handgun before seeing the subject fall down at the top of the step. At this point I believed the subject was no longer a threat and stopped firing my rifle. I dropped my rifle from my shoulder and placed my rifle on safe. I observed REACT officers approach the subject and began rendering medical aid. I was immediately contacted by Sgt. Davenport, and he assigned Officer Trujillo as my Peer officer. Officer Trujillo and I then went and sat in our patrol vehicle. I was later again contacted by Sgt. Davenport who took possession of my body worn camera, and I provided with my Public Safety Statement. Officer Trujillo and I were later moved to Sgt. Davenport’s sergeant vehicle, and he asked us to park in the parking lot of the Jack in the Box at Atlantic Ave. Printed on: 3/18/2025 4:14:42 PM | Page 3 of 4Reporting Officer: Pena 6014 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .033INCIDENT REPORT Officer Trujillo was subsequently replaced as my peer by Officer Betancourt.

Officer Pena transported his patrol rifle, a Springfield Armory Saint EDGE AR-15 rifle (serial number ), to 400 West Broadway where he provided the weapon to Detective Thai. Officer Pena advised that his rifle was still loaded, as he had been instructed not to manipulate his rifle after the OIS. Officer Pena advised that after the OIS occurred, he maintained possession of his rifle until surrendering the weapon to the Homicide Detail for inspection. Detective Thai inspected the weapon in its current condition and noted that the collapsible buttstock was in its fully extended position, the rifle’s optic (Steiner 1-4x scope) was illuminated and set to 4x magnification, and the scope caps were in the “open” position, and there was a magazine inserted in the magazine well of the rifle, all indicators that the weapon had been deployed. Additionally, Detective Thai noted that the rifle was equipped with 45 degree offset flip-up iron sights and a 2-point sling. Detective Thai rendered the rifle safe by first removing the magazine (black 30-round Magpul PMAG M3 magazine) and pulling on the charging handle of the rifle, ejecting a cartridge (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip .223) that was loaded in the chamber. Detective Thai interviewed Officer Pena regarding the fashion in which he carries and deploys his patrol rifle: Officer Pena advised that he stores his patrol rifle in a soft rifle bag which he places in the trunk of his patrol vehicle, on top of the equipment lock box. When deploying his rifle, Officer Pena inserts a magazine into his rifle and loads a round into the chamber. Officer Pena advised that he has additional AR-15 magazines on his ballistic plate carrier, but that during this incident, he did not have time to retrieve or don it, and as such, the only AR-15 magazine he had was the one loaded in the rifle. Officer Pena advised that he typically keeps his AR-15 magazines loaded with 28 or 29 rounds. Officer Pena advised that during this OIS, he believes he discharged three rounds from his patrol rifle. Detective Thai then conducted an inspection of the magazine removed from Officer Pena’s rifle and found that it was loaded with 24 cartridges (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip .223). Officer Pena’s rifle and magazine were packaged by Detectives Mattia and Reyes and were subsequently placed into the evidence lockers at 400 West Broadway.

Officer Weber transported his SWAT rifle, a Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) MK1 short-barreled AR-15 rifle (serial number ), to 400 West Broadway where he provided the weapon to Detective Thai. Officer Weber advised that after the OIS, he unloaded his rifle and took the round from the chamber and loaded back it into his magazine. Detective Thai inspected the weapon in its current condition and noted that the rifle had already been rendered safe, its bolt carrier group was locked to the rear/open position revealing the empty chamber. There was no magazine inserted in the magazine well, and the rifle’s EOTech holographic optic was powered off. Additionally, Detective Thai noted that the rifle was also equipped with a Vortex magnifier, a Surefire weaponlight with remote pressure switch, an Emissary Development handstop, and a 2-point sling. Officer Weber also surrendered to Detective Thai the magazine used at the time of the OIS, which was a 30-round Magpul PMAG M3 (windowed). Detective Thai interviewed Officer Weber regarding the fashion in which he carries and deploys his SWAT rifle: Officer Weber was acting in a SWAT capacity at the time of the OIS and was wearing a duty belt with a spare AR-15 magazine (SPARE MAGAZINE #1), and a ballistic plate carrier which carried two additional AR-15 magazines (SPARE MAGAZINE #2 AND SPARE MAGAZINE #3, numbered from left to right when looking at the plate carrier). Officer Weber advised that when deploying his SWAT rifle, he loads a magazine into the rifle and chambers a round. Officer Weber then has the additional three AR-15 magazines on his person. Officer Weber advised that he loads all of his AR-15 magazines with 28 rounds. Detective Thai collected these three additional AR-15 magazines for inspection. Officer Weber advised that he fired three to four rounds during the OIS. Detective Thai then conducted an inspection of the magazine used during the OIS and found that it was loaded with 24 cartridges (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip .223). This would have been consistent with Officer Weber having fired four rounds. Detective Thai inspected SPARE MAGAZINE #1, a 30-round Magpul PMAG M3 (windowed), and noted that it was loaded with 28 cartridges (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip .223). Detective Thai inspected SPARE MAGAZINE #2, a 30-round Magpul PMAG M3 (windowed), and noted that it was loaded with 28 cartridges (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip .223). Detective Thai inspected SPARE MAGAZINE #3, a 30-round Magpul PMAG M3 (windowed), and noted that it was loaded with 28 cartridges (bonded 5.56 ammunition with “WCC 12” headstamp). Officer Weber’s rifle and magazines were packaged by Detectives Mattia and Reyes and were subsequently placed into the evidence lockers at 400 West Broadway. Additionally, Officer Weber’s green SWAT pants were collected as evidence, as there were some red apparent blood stains around the kneecap area of the right pant leg. It should be noted, Officer Weber was not struck by gunfire, but rather, it was believed that this was possibly blood from Officer Daniel Martinez, who had been struck.

Officer Lopez transported his SWAT rifle, a Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) MK1 short-barreled AR-15 rifle (serial numbe ), to 400 West Broadway where he provided the weapon to Detective Thai. Officer Lopez advised that rifle was still loaded, and in the same condition as it was immediately after the OIS occurred. Detective Thai inspected the weapon in its current condition and noted that the rifle had a black 30-round Magpul PMAG M3 inserted in the rifle’s magazine well. Additionally, Detective Thai noted that the rifle was equipped with an EOTech holographic sight, EOTech magnifier, a Surefire weaponlight with remote pressure switch, a L.A.W. tactical folder, a handstop, and a 2-point sling. Detective Thai rendered the rifle safe by first removing the magazine and pulling on the charging handle of the rifle, ejecting a cartridge (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip .223) that was loaded in the chamber. Detective Thai interviewed Officer Lopez regarding the fashion in which he carries and deploys his SWAT rifle: Officer Lopez was acting in a SWAT capacity at the time of the OIS and was wearing a duty belt with an AR-15 magazine pouch, and a ballistic plate carrier which carries three additional AR-15 magazines (SPARE MAGAZINE #1, SPARE MAGAZINE #2, AND SPARE MAGAZINE #3, numbered from left to right when looking at the plate carrier).

Officer Lopez then has the additional three AR-15 magazines on his person. Officer Lopez advised that he loads all of his AR-15 magazines with 28 rounds. Detective Thai collected these three additional AR-15 magazines for inspection. Officer Lopez advised that he fired two rounds during the OIS. Detective Thai then conducted an inspection of the magazine removed from the rifle and found that it was loaded with 25 cartridges (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip .223). This would have been consistent with Officer Lopez having fired two rounds, as there was one cartridge recovered from the chamber of Officer Lopez’s rifle. Detective Thai inspected SPARE MAGAZINE #1, a 30-round Magpul PMAG M3, and noted that it was loaded with 28 cartridges (bonded 5.56 ammunition with “WMA 20” headstamp).

Officer Woods advised that pistol was still loaded, and in the same condition as it was immediately after the OIS occurred. Detective Thai inspected the weapon in its current condition and noted that the pistol had a black 20-round Staccato magazine. Additionally, Detective Thai noted that the pistol was equipped with a Leupold Deltapoint red dot sight and a Surefire X300 Ultra weaponlight with remote switch. Detective Thai rendered the pistol safe by first removing the magazine and pulling back on pistol’s slide, ejecting a cartridge (Winchester Ranger ONE bonded jacketed hollow point 9mm) that was loaded in the chamber. Detective Thai interviewed Officer Woods regarding the fashion in which he carries and deploys his SWAT pistol: Officer Woods was acting in a SWAT capacity at the time of the OIS and was wearing a duty belt and ballistic plate carrier. Officer Woods carries his SWAT pistol in a holster on his duty belt, along with one spare pistol magazine (SPARE MAGAZINE #1) in a pouch on the left side of his duty belt. Officer Woods’ plate carrier has three AR-15 magazines, but no extra pistol magazines. Officer Woods carries his SWAT pistol with a fully loaded 20-round magazine, with one round in the chamber (20+1 count). Officer Woods keeps his spare pistol magazine fully loaded with 20 rounds. Detective Thai collected the spare pistol magazine for inspection. Officer Woods advised that he fired two rounds during the OIS. Detective Thai conducted an inspection of the magazine removed from the pistol and found that it was loaded with 18 cartridges (Winchester Ranger ONE bonded jacketed hollow point 9mm). This would have been consistent with Officer Woods having fired two rounds, as there was one cartridge recovered from the chamber of Officer Wood’s pistol.

Purdy, am a member of the Long Beach Police Department SWAT team. On 11/19/24, I was notified of a SWAT REACT activation at Atlantic Ave for a person with a gun in a standoff of with patrol officers. Upon my arrival, an officer involved shooting occurred. I did not witness the incident because I was parked in the area of 53rd and Atlantic Ave in process of dawning my SWAT equipment. Once I had my equipment dawned, I immediately responded to the scene and reported to SWAT Sergeant R. Davenport. SWAT Sergeant R. Davenport assigned me as a peer officer for SWAT Officer M. Lopez. I and SWAT Officer M. Lopez left the scene and went to a parking lot just south of Atlantic Ave. I remained with SWAT Officer M. Lopez throughout the investigation to ensure he was well and awaited further direction from Homicide Detail personnel. After Homicide responded and conducted an on scene investigation and interviews with SWAT Officer M. Lopez we were directed to 400 W Broadway (LBPD HQ) by Homicide Sergeant B. Vargas. Once at LBPD HQ a short follow investigation was conducted and then both I and SWAT Officer M. Lopez were released and requested to return the next day to file.

I reviewed my body worn camera prior to filing this report. The following is a summary of what occurred. On 11/19/24 at 1633 hours, while at home, I was called out to the scene as a member of the Long Beach Police Department Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) “REACT” Team. I was ordered to respond to the intersection of Atlantic Avenue north of 52nd Street for a subject with a gun in a standoff with patrol officers (call #1190). While en route, vehicle traffic was heavy, and I was receiving updates via Police Radio Channel 2 and SWAT 1. I was made aware de-escalation tactics and negotiations had been unsuccessful for hours. The Suspect remained seated on the steps of a church (later determined to be Iglesia de Cristo Miel, located at Atlantic Avenue), refused to surrender to officers and he was possibly sitting on a gun, or he possibly had it behind him on the ground and to the right. Upon my arrival, I parked in the parking lot of the Pacific Liquor Junior Market, located at Atlantic Avenue. I dawned my department issued green SWAT uniform, which included a green armored plate carrier, green ballistic helmet and green gun belt. My plate carrier was labeled with “POLICE” on my upper chest and “POLICE” on my upper back. Each of my uniform sleeves had a green Long Beach Police Department patch Velcroed to my shoulders and easily visible. Any reasonable person could clearly identify me as a police officer on duty. Also on scene, I observed many patrol officers tactically positioned on Atlantic Avenue in front of the Suspect, in uniform. There were several marked black and white patrol vehicles around the Suspect with their emergency lights flashing, spotlights activated and pointed at the Suspect. Per 834(a) PC, a person has knowledge, or by the exercise of reasonable care, should have knowledge, that they are being arrested by a peace officer, it is the duty of such person to refrain from using force or any weapon to resist such arrest. The Suspect reasonably should have known we were all peace officers, and he was being arrested. I walked into the scene from the north. I bypassed the north Emergency Action Team (EAT) and walked along the west sidewalk to the south EAT. As I did so, I observed the Suspect for the first time from approximately 30 yards away. The Suspect was sitting at the top step of the stairs leading up to the front entrance of the church facing west towards Atlantic Avenue. He was moving his hands around and moving his upper body frequently. Leaning back on his arms then sitting back up quickly showing us his empty hands. The Suspect repeatedly reached back, but when his hands were visible again, they were empty, but he generally remained in the same spot seated. As I was walking, he appeared to be speaking with officers, but I could not hear what was said. There was also a large crowd of approximately 40 bystanders who had congregated in an empty lot on the west side of Atlantic Avenue, directly across the street from the Suspect. I also saw large crowds of bystanders watching from the north and south perimeters. Once I arrived at the south EAT, Unit YS1 (Sergeant R. Owens #5717) was briefing a group of SWAT operators on our plan of execution to safely take the Suspect into custody. The brief had already started before I arrived, and I was quickly brought up to speed. I was assigned the 40MM less lethal single launcher, which fires a less lethal 40MM foam tipped munition. The initiation of our plan was going to be Officer M. Genna (#11386) throwing a Noise Flash Diversionary Device (NFDD), or commonly referred to as a flash bang. Sergeant Owens directed me to launch the 40MM less lethal launcher as soon as the NFDD exploded. Our intent was to distract the Suspect enough so we could safely deploy a police K9, prevent the suspect from reaching for the gun and send in an arrest team to take him into custody safely using the lowest amount of force possible. At the time of the incident, I was not aware the arrest team would be deploying from the north exterior side yard of the church. We also had Long Beach Fire Department personnel staged nearby and would call them up if needed. I was going to use the 40MM less lethal launcher because I believed the Suspect to be armed with a gun and his actions indicated an intent to resist arrest since the call had been ongoing for hours. While being briefed and preparing to execute our plan, I could hear MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117) pleading with the Suspect to surrender and asking if he wanted to commit suicide by cop, but I could not hear the Suspects response. I could also hear Unit 3Z30 (Hostage Negotiator S. Estrada #11142) attempting to negotiate a safe surrender on a loudspeaker. I was aware the call started hours ago, and several officers had been attempting to deescalate by Printed on: 3/18/2025 4:32:28 PM | Page 1 of 3Reporting Officer: Woods 11139 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .037INCIDENT REPORT stabilizing the situation and reducing the immediacy of the threat so that more options, and resources could be called upon to resolve the situation through voluntary compliance. Based on the Suspect remaining on the steps and not surrendering, I believed none of the communications with the Suspect were successful. I positioned myself at the front driver side tire of a parked patrol vehicle closest to the east curb of Atlantic Avenue. I had a clear unobstructed view of the Suspect northeast from my position. Unit 3C22 (Officer C. Kloss #11257) was standing immediately to my left. I briefly asked Officer Kloss if the Suspects gun was behind his left buttocks, since I could see a black object on the floor near the suspects left buttocks, but I could not tell what it was. Officer Kloss was on scene longer than I was, so I was asking for updated intelligence on what he was aware of. Officer Kloss advised me he believed the Suspect was sitting on the gun under his right buttocks since the Suspect had been favoring his right side. Shortly thereafter, Officer Kloss was pulled off the line. Once we were all set and in position, I heard Sergeant Owens give the command to initiate our plan. Officer Genna was standing about 5 feet to my left, so out of my peripheral vision I could see him throw the NFDD towards the Suspect and I heard “Bang out!” I was leaning on the hood of the patrol vehicle and using it as a support to take a more accurate shot with the less lethal launcher. In my left hand, I was holding onto the forward grip of the launcher as well as a spare munition ready to quickly reload if needed. I saw the NFDD land near the sidewalk in front of the Suspect and immediately explode. As soon as the flash dissipated, I immediately launched one round from my 40MM less lethal launcher as planned. My sights were aimed on the Suspects lower left stomach area, and I believe I hit my intended target. The Suspect remained generally in the same position both prior to and after the initiation of our plan. Therefore, I had sufficient time to select my point of aim. I immediately started my reload procedure since the 40 MM less lethal launcher only holds one round and is a break action firearm. Meanwhile, I saw the Suspect flinch (unknown if due to the NFDD or the 40MM munitions striking him), twist his upper torso to his right, reach behind as if he were grabbing something and I could no longer see his hands. Based on the information I was given prior, I believed he was reaching for the gun since I was told the gun was to his right, underneath him or on the floor in that area out of my sight. The Suspect quickly turned his upper torso back to face west and he brought his right arm up in a swinging motion pointing towards the west. The Suspect was pointing towards several officers in an EAT near me and the large crowd of bystanders west of Atlantic Avenue. I observed a black object in his right hand, but due to the distance and the Suspects rapid movements, I was not immediately certain what he was holding, although I believed it to be a pistol based on the information provided to me. Once I saw the unmistakable, bright muzzle flash of a gun being fired in a westerly direction towards officers, I knew it was a pistol and the Suspect was actively firing at us. Based on the totality of circumstances, I unequivocally believed deadly force was necessary to defend against an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to myself and others. The Suspect had the present ability, opportunity, and apparent intent to immediately cause death or serious bodily injury to myself or others. This imminent fear was rooted in my belief, on its appearance, that the threat must be instantly confronted and addressed. I immediately abandoned my reload since it would take too long, and this was no longer a less lethal encounter. I dropped the 40MM less lethal launcher, which was slung around my neck, as the Suspect was firing towards officers. From the seated position, the Suspect was rapidly moving, with the pistol in hand, in a counterclockwise motion towards me. I transitioned to my department issued Staccato P pistol and drew it from my holster. The Suspect was still moving, and he was still armed so I rapidly aimed my sights towards the Suspects upper chest. I ensured my background was clear (west exterior wall of the church) and I fired two rounds in rapid succession. I reassessed, the Suspect had stopped moving and I no longer saw the gun. The Suspect’s head was pointed south, he was lying on his right shoulder facing the church in a fetal position and I no longer perceived an imminent threat. It should be noted, the events I described above were rapidly evolving and happened all under about eight seconds. After later reviewing my BWC, I acknowledge the video shows the Suspects back facing me as I fired my pistol. I attribute this to the inherent lag time innate in all human beings. I overheard someone say an officer was possibly shot, but I was still focused on the Suspect with my pistol at the low ready as that officer was evacuated. Within a minute or two, I saw the arrest team approach the Suspect from the north side of the church and begin rendering first aid. I later approached the arrest team to lend my assistance with first aid. No further help was needed at the time as we waited for the Fire Department to arrive.

I noticed the spent 40MM cartridge was still inside the chamber and the munition I was holding in my left hand for a reload, and dropped when I transitioned, was underneath the same patrol vehicle. Shortly thereafter, I heard and saw a commotion on the west sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue. It was dark but it appeared to me as if several officers were in a fight with a large angry crowd of bystanders. I walked over and I assisted Officer Garcia, who appeared to be attempting to keep an unknown female back or place her under arrest. The female was screaming and flailing her body while laying on her back in the roadway. Officer Garcia was standing over her attempting to control her movement. By the time I got to them, the female sat up and twisted to her right. So, I took hold of her right arm, she laid down on her stomach and I moved her right arm to the small of her back. Officer Garcia controlled her left arm and moved it to the small of her back. I asked Officer Garcia if he had handcuffs and I held her right arm still as Officer Garcia handcuffed her. Once she was handcuffed, Officer Garcia took custody of her and escorted her away. For further regarding this use of force, refer to DR#240058099. I remained on the west curb of Atlantic Avenue to ensure the crowd did not encroach on our scene any further or continue to delay or obstruct our investigation. The crowd was hostile towards us, continued to yell at officers and video record us. I told the bystanders to back up please and I informed them the whole area was now a crime scene. Officer Genna later handed me a 40MM multi less lethal launcher (holds 6 munitions) since he was holding the launcher and his rifle. I later discovered the launcher was covered in blood and was the launcher used by Detective D. Martinez (#10323) when he was shot. I placed the less lethal launcher on the hood of a nearby patrol vehicle inside the crime scene to not disturb the evidence any further. I later provided my safety statement to Unit 3S2 (Sergeant J. Lacey #10003), and he took custody of my body worn camera (BWC). Officer I. Martinez (#11301) was assigned to be my peer officer. I later conducted a walkthrough of the crime scene with my attorney J. Trott and Homicide Sergeant B. Vargas (#6277) present. I later responded to the downtown police station, located at 400 W Broadway, fifth floor, where Lab Technician V. Torres (#8669) photographed me in uniform. Homicide Detective E. Thai (#10554) took possession of my department issued pistol and two pistol magazines. I later responded back to the downtown police station, located at 400 W Broadway, fifth floor, where I filed this report. For further, refer to the main report and follow up reports.

Kirk # 6051 was assigned to work as a supervisor for the High Crime Focus Team in the City of Long Beach, CA as Unit SH2. I am also assigned as a team leader for the Long Beach Police Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team. Today I was dressed wearing a blue Long Beach Police Department uniform with a badge, department shoulder patches and a sam brown belt; equipped with a firearm, magazines, conducted electrical weapon (CEW) and handcuffs. I was also equipped with a department issued body worn camera attached to the front of my chest. I was driving a black dual- purpose police vehicle with a forward-facing red light. At approximately 1517 hours, Officers with the Long Beach Police Department were dispatched to Atlantic Avenue regarding a bald male Hispanic subject with a firearm by the church. Officers arrived on scene and stated there was a male Hispanic on the steps but did not see a firearm. Officers reported that the subject was refusing to show them his hands. The subject was making suicidal statements and stated he had a small caliber weapon on him; however, the officers had not seen one yet. Fire personnel were requested to stage at Atlantic Avenue and 51st Street so they could provide immediate medical attention to the subject and/or officers if needed. Officers began forming emergency action teams (EAT’s) to the south and north of the subject’s location. The EAT’s consisted of assigning less lethal officers with 40mm less lethal launchers and munitions, officers assigned with a conducted electrical weapon (CEW’s), lethal cover, verbal communications with the suspect, and a hands-on arrest team to the north and one to the south of the subject. At approximately 1558, I discovered this incident was occurring and that other sergeants were already on scene and coordinating efforts to safely de-escalate the situation and gain compliance from the subject. The subject refused to comply. I responded to the location to see how I could assist with the incident. At approximately 1617 hours I arrived on scene and contacted Sergeant J. Lacey who was putting up crime scene tape. I asked him where I could be of assistance, and he asked me to contact Sgt. Davenport and Sgt. Hearst who were at the south EAT. I believed Sergeant J. Lacey was starting to set up a command post for the incident. I began walking to the south EAT and observed the following: Multiple police vehicles were parked on the north side of 52nd Street and Atlantic Avenue. Numerous citizens were gathering around the location. I could see a large group gathered at the northeast and northwest corners of Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street. Vehicular traffic was shut down in both directions on Atlantic Avenue and yellow crime scene tape was placed to keep the public out of the immediate area. Atlantic Avenue is identified as a two-story church that is white in color. It is located on the second lot north of 52nd Street, on the eastside of Atlantic Avenue. A parking lot is located one lot south of Atlantic. The property displays a large sign on the westside of the lot, facing Atlantic Avenue that reads “Iglesia de Cristo Miel Long Beach”. There is an approximate 2-3-foot-tall white wrought iron fence on top of a 1-foot stucco/concrete footing that surrounds the westside of the property. In the center of the church off Atlantic Avenue is the front entrance. The front double entrance doors are glass and open outward towards the street. There is an open concrete walkway leading up to 6 steps with an approximate 4-foot by 7-foot rectangular landing. This stairway and landing is essentially an elevated porch, approximately 3-4 feet taller than the concrete walkway that led to the porch. At the top of these steps are the front double glass entrance doors. The steps and landing have a handrail to the north and south of the steps. There are two palm trees (each with three trunks) located to the north and south of the steps, positioned in a dirt/grass area approximately 15 feet by 15-20 feet. I observed a male Hispanic subject sitting on the landing at the top of the steps in front of the outward opening glass entrance doors. The subject was facing west. Several black and white marked police vehicles were parked in the northbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue. They were facing in a northwest direction. Numerous officers were on the driver Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:09:31 PM | Page 1 of 6Reporting Officer: Kirk 6051 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .038INCIDENT REPORT side of these police vehicles, towards the front and rear. These officers formed the south EAT. I observed an additional black and white police vehicle facing southbound in the northbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue that was positioned just north of the subject. Several officers were assigned to this position and made up the north EAT. I contacted Sergeant R. Davenport, Sergeant B. Hearst and Sergeant J. Jacobs who were at the south EAT behind police vehicles that officers were using as cover. Watch Commander R. Wexler arrived on scene shortly after me. The other sergeants and watch commander were separated about 20-25 from the other officers on the south EAT so we could discuss plans. The sergeants informed me they had given the subject numerous commands to surrender, and he was refusing. I asked if the church had been evacuated and I was informed there was no one inside and that we had officers in the property north of Atlantic Avenue, identified as Atlantic Avenue ensuring no civilians exited onto Atlantic Avenue. This allowed officers to have a clean and clear background if the incident rose to the level of lethal force. I observed there was a walkway just north of the front steps (approximately 15 feet) from the steps. I later learned that this walkway led to a white wrought iron pedestrian gate that accessed the rear of the church and property north of the church ( Atlantic Avenue). To my knowledge, at this time in the investigation, Officers had not observed an actual firearm on the subject. They identified the subject was sitting on an object under his right buttock between his clothing and the concrete landing but could not identify what it was. Patrol officers had a plan in place to deploy a 40mm at the subject after a period of time and to deploy a canine if needed. I believed the use of a 40mm less than lethal munitions were appropriate for use because the subjects actions indicated an intent to harm officers, others, or himself. He was resisting our orders to lawfully detain him, and I believed he was armed with a handgun. I considered the distance we were at and the angle / direction of where the munitions would be fired from. The subject had removed his t-shirt, but then put on a thicker jacket. Mental Evaluation Team (MET) Officer A. Garcia, Hostage Negotiator Team (HNT) Officer S. Estrada and other officers were attempting to de-escalate the situation and gain compliance from him for approximately one and a half hours. After evaluating the situation, I determined the incident required the use of REACT SWAT officers to assist in the suspects apprehension. I know from my background, training and experience that SWAT officers have access to more tools and equipment that could help aid in a safer resolution to the incident, not only for the suspect, but for the community and officers. Their training far surpasses the training of a patrol officer and these officers aid in the process of de-escalating the situation for a peaceful ending. I gave my recommendations to Sergeant Davenport and Watch Commander Lt. R. Wexler who was also on scene. Sgt. Davenport and Lt. Wexler agreed with my recommendation and the SWAT REACT Team was requested to respond. The team was activated at approximately 1642 hours. While SWAT REACT officers were enroute and MET and HNT officers continued to develop rapport to have the suspect surrender peacefully, I discussed different scenarios regarding ways to safely apprehend the suspect with Sergeant Davenport, Sergeant Hearst and members of the south EAT. Some of those members were SWAT Officers Dyer and Moreno who were in police wool uniforms already working a patrol shift. Some of the plans discussed were to see if we could enter the rear of the church and walk from east to west towards the glass double doors towards his back. The thought was to sneak up behind the suspect while officers were conversing with him and his attention was draw towards the street. Officers would quietly open the doors behind him and deploy a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) to take him into custody. Officers learned that the front doors were locked and would require a key to open, causing noise and no cover for the officers, should he be alerted to them. This would have put officers at a disadvantage because they had no cover, and the doors were in line with the trajectory of the rounds that could be fired from the south and north EAT’s off Atlantic. We decided not to go with this plan due to safety measures. Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:09:31 PM | Page 2 of 6Reporting Officer: Kirk 6051 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .038INCIDENT REPORT I observed a black gate to the north, approximately 20 feet from where the suspect was sitting on the porch. The gate appeared to open inward from left to right. To the west of the black gate was an approximate 6-foot cinderblock wall which would provide us cover. I thought of having a team set up behind this gate and as the suspects attention was draw towards officers to his west, officers behind this gate would open the gate and deploy numerous 40mm munitions southbound towards the suspects right side of his body. The intention of deploying multiple 40mm less lethal munitions southbound was to cause pain compliance and get the suspect to separate from the firearm he was sitting on. This would ultimately assist in the suspects safe apprehension. After reviewing the plan, I observed there were too many bystanders to the south of the suspect. The bystanders were gathered on the northeast corner of 52nd Street and Atlantic Avenue. I believed deploying southbound in their direction could put the citizens in harms way and if a lethal situation arose as a result of this plan, I could not guarantee they would be safe. Therefore, we chose not to do this plan for public safety reasons. I observed there was a red cinderblock wall approximately 6 feet tall and approximately 30 feet to the south of where the suspect was sitting. We discussed having a team staged behind this red wall, out of sight from the suspect. Once SWAT REACT officers were ready, a flashbang diversionary device would be deployed north of the suspect. A flashbang diversionary device is believed to be a great tool for this situation because it was a de-escalation tactic and required no force or injury to the suspect. We have used the flashbang diversionary device on many previous occasions, and it has proven effective to gain compliance from suspects. The flashbang diversionary device makes one loud bang noise and generates a level of light that can startle or disorient an individual. Often when deployed effectively, a suspect has complied with officer’s orders. I believed the suspect would at minimum react to the loud bang and flash of light by moving away from the firearm he was sitting on. Because the firearm was not in his back pocket, the startling of the suspect would cause him to slide off the object (firearm) he was sitting on. Once the suspect moved off the object (firearm) officers from the south would expose themselves with a less lethal 40mm and lethal cover officer and would deploy multiple rounds of 40mm munitions northbound in the direction of the suspect left side of his body. The deployment of the munitions would cause the suspect to separate himself from the firearm, thus allowing officers to safely take him into custody. I observed the officers would have a clean and clear background should the situation rise to the level of lethal force. After evaluating the plan, it was believed the officers would have to expose themselves to the suspect more than I would have liked. This was in part because of the 2–3-foot wrought iron fence on a 1-foot stucco concrete wall that was to the south of the suspect. This fence extended along the south portion of the property and was approximately 15 feet. Additionally, there was a large palm tree that had three trunks, and I was not sure if the trajectory angle of any officers’ rounds fired would be effective or if this tree would be blocking the officers from effectively deploying the munitions. Therefore, we chose not to do this plan because I believed we would be placing our officers in a location where they would have to expose themselves to the suspect. SWAT REACT Officers began arriving on scene. Daylight began to decrease as the sun began to set. Officers wanted to illuminate the suspect with black and white patrol vehicle spotlights to assist in seeing the suspects movements. I instructed the officers to tell the suspect we were having trouble seeing him and therefore were going to cast light on him. I was concerned that any little movement would cause him to self-initiate something that would ultimately result in his injury or death. While discussing these different plans with Sergeants / Officers, I continued to watch the suspect and his movements. I observed he would stay seated facing west. I observed he would rock back and forth, leaning and alternating from his right buttock check to his left buttock check. I heard MET Officer Garcia asking him to stand up multiple times, however he refused, giving an excuse that something was wrong with his legs. Officer Garcia would then attempt to entice him to slide his buttock off the landing and down the six stairway steps. I believed Officer Garcia’s request for this was to see if he could separate the object (firearm) away from underneath the suspects right buttock cheek. The suspect would attempt to reposition his buttock in an effort to slide the object (firearm) with his buttock onto the next step, however the Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:09:31 PM | Page 3 of 6Reporting Officer: Kirk 6051 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .038INCIDENT REPORT suspect was unable to do this, so he remained on the stairway landing. The suspect would roll over to his right side and almost lay full supine. I believed the suspect was doing this to keep the firearm under his buttock. When doing this, an unknown officer communicated over the police radio that they could now identify the suspect had a firearm under his buttock. At this time, SWAT Sergeant R. Owens arrived on scene, and we discussed the different plans to take the suspect into custody. Sergeant Owens walked the perimeter of the church and discovered the concrete walkway north of the suspect leading to the rear of the church was separated by a white wrought iron gate. Officers obtained a key and were able to unlock this gate. Sergeant Owens observed the distance between the gate and the edge of the northwest corner of the church was approximately 12 feet, giving ample room for a small additional EAT arrest team to set up. A short time later, Officer D. Martinez and several other SWAT officers arrived on scene. EAT Officers were using police vehicles as cover. We believed introducing the armored CAT might cause the suspect to become nervous and agitated, creating a lethal scenario we were trying to avoid. The suspect was calm and was conversing with MET and HNT officers. It appeared the conversations were progressing to a positive report because of how relaxed the suspect was. Additional SWAT Officer(s) had also expressed their concerns about bringing the CAT in and did not want to disrupt the rapport MET and HNT had established. The hood height of the armored CAT is also so tall it can make it difficult for even a person 6 feet 2 inches tall to shoot accurately over the hood. Officers would still have to expose themselves to the front or rear of the CAT. As a result, we decided to have officers utilize cover behind the black and white patrol vehicles. After approximately one additional hour of trying to de-escalate the situation and gain compliance from the suspect, SWAT REACT officers were briefed of the plan which consisted of the following: An EAT would be set up to the south of the suspect. K9 Officer E. Moscoso would have his K9 at the front of the black and white patrol car. Officer Weber would be lethal cover for K9 Officer E. Moscoso and for less lethal officers (D. Martinez – equipped with a 6 round 40mm less lethal launcher and D. Chamberlain – equipped with a single 40mm less lethal launcher). Officer M. Woods would have an additional single 40mm less lethal launcher to the rear of the black and white. Sergeant Owens would run this EAT. Sergeant Davenport would run the EAT to the north. Officers were positioned there for more of a containment position. I did not know what duties were assigned in this EAT because I was not there. I would take a team of 3 officers (Officer Mays, Officer Dyer and Officer Moreno) to the north side of the church through the white pedestrian gate and stay out of sight from the suspect, forming a northeast EAT arrest team. Because of our position, every officer on my EAT and I knew that there were numerous citizens to the south of the suspect, making us unable to shoot because of the background / direction where our rounds would travel if there was a lethal situation. Our mission was to apprehend the suspect if he fled north or separated himself from the firearm by using a CEW and/or group team takedown. Once my EAT was in position, I would notify Sergeant Owens we were set. Sergeant Owens would then give the command to Officer Genna to deploy a flashbang diversionary device to the south of the suspect. This diversionary device would cause the suspect to be startled, causing the suspect to surrender and/or separate himself from the firearm. Officer Martinez who was equipped with a 6 shot 40mm less lethal multi-launcher would then begin deploying multiple rounds of sponge less lethal munitions along with Officer D. Chamberlain and Officer M. Woods deploying their single shot less lethal munition towards the suspect. This amount of less lethal force was necessary because it was intended to overwhelm the suspects senses and thoughts. I believed this force option was safe and reasonable. The less lethal sponge rounds would assist in helping the suspect forget about the firearm under his buttock and cause him to separate himself away from it because of the pain pushing him to the north where my northeast EAT was waiting for his apprehension. If the suspect fled down the steps into the street or to the south, K9 Moscoso would deploy his dog.

Because this plan was briefed at the south EAT with my EAT team and the north EAT team (Sergeant Davenport) everyone understood their role in the plan. This plan was not discussed over police radio because of the close proximity to the suspect and the possibility of the suspect hearing the plan over the police radios. I knew exactly where the officers would be deploying their less lethal munitions and potentially any lethal rounds should that scenario present itself. Officers also knew exactly where my northeast EAT would be staged. They were aware we were slightly down range, however NOT in the officer’s line of fire because of the angle of trajectory the rounds would travel. Because of this, I also knew where to place the additional 3 officers, so they were out of harms way. I instructed my EAT to wait for my command to proceed forward or to hold in place. When the flashbang diversionary device was deployed, I was to peak the corner to view the suspects actions. It the suspect had separated himself from the firearm Officer Mays was assigned to deploy his CEW. Officer Dyer was his lethal cover. Officer Moreno was the hands-on officer. I would assist in handcuffing the suspect. Once all officers were set, I informed Sergeant Owens my team was set. Sergeant Owens then stated the plan would be initiated off the noise from flashbang diversionary device. I heard the flashbang diversionary device deploy and peaked around the corner to look southbound towards the suspect, while still maintaining my team out of the line of fire. I observed the suspect roll to his right side, almost supine and retrieve a small black semi-automatic handgun from under his right buttock cheek with his right hand. The suspect then twisted his body up and to his left as his right arm/hand that was holding a black firearm began to raise in the direction of the south EAT. I knew because of my background with citizens to the south of the suspect, I could not shoot, but knew officers would be shooting. I stayed tucked behind the cover of the north wall of the church with the 3 other EAT officers out of the line of fire. After a couple seconds and hearing the gunshots cease, I began checking the other 3 EAT officers and asking them to check each other to ensure they were not injured in any way. After I confirmed they were safe, the 3 officers and I retreated east into the courtyard of Atlantic Ave. We once again conducted a quick safety check of ourselves and after determining everyone was safe, returned to our original position along the north wall. We communicated to the south EAT that we would approach the suspect to place him into custody. I observed his body was laying supine with his head facing south and his arms extended out towards the sides of his body. Officer Mays kicked a small black firearm (believed to be a Ruger LCP .380 caliber) to the south of the porch landing away from the suspect’s right hand. Officer Mays took control of the suspects right hand while Officer Dyer took control of his left hand. I observed the suspect had sustained gunshot wounds to his upper torso and the suspect appeared to be unconscious and not breathing. I immediately informed our communications center the suspect was in custody and requested fire personnel to respond to render medical aid. While waiting for fire personnel to arrive, Officer Mays and Officer Dyer began performing chest compressions in an effort to keep the suspect alive. While they were performing compressions, I observed holes in the glass doors to the east of him. Glass was shattered on the porch landing and amongst the glass were 2 expended casings (believed to be .380 caliber) to the east of the suspect’s body. I informed police personnel to check officers because the suspect had fired at least two rounds off. Because of the small area of the porch landing and personnel moving around to assist in life saving measures, I took a photograph of the suspects firearm and where the two casings were located in an attempt to preserve crime scene evidence. Additionally, I could hear and see several citizens entering the outside perimeter and was not sure if the citizens were attempting to get to the suspect. Numerous officers had to stop and detain these individuals. I later uploaded these photographs into evidence.com. Fire personnel arrived on scene and conducted life saving measures, however the suspect ultimately succumbed to his Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:09:31 PM | Page 5 of 6Reporting Officer: Kirk 6051 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .038INCIDENT REPORT injuries. I stayed with the suspects body, until police personnel could tape off the inner crime scene area. Once secured, Unit 3B20, Officer J. Carreon # 11001 relieved me of my position. Shortly thereafter, I was released from the scene by homicide detectives where I responded to 400 West Broadway to file this report. This incident was captured on my department issued body worn camera. The footage was uploaded into evidence.com.

Lopez #11253, have been a Police Officer for six years with my primary duty assignment being Patrol. Since July of 2022, I have been a member of the Long Beach Police Department Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team. Being a SWAT team member is a collateral assignment I do in addition to working patrol. As a SWAT team member, I am on-call with the ability to respond to spontaneous incidents while off duty. SWAT REACT is available to support tactical operations with a small team of operators that can rapidly respond, and utilize SWAT training, experience, and equipment to help patrol officers resolve an incident. On 11/19/2024 at 1633 hours, I received a notification on my department issued cell phone. There was a request for SWAT REACT to respond to the area of Atlantic Avenue north of 52nd Street at the church (located at Atlantic Avenue), for a person armed with a firearm in a standoff with patrol officers (Call#1190). While enroute to the incident, I thought about the potential imminent threat to the community members and officers that a suspect with a firearm posed. As a patrol officer assigned to north division, I was familiar with the intersection where the incident was occurring. I know that area regularly receives heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic. I heard an officer air over his police radio that the suspect was concealing a small black firearm behind his back. I understood the harm the armed suspect could cause to both the community and responding officers if he were to use his firearm. At approximately 1730 hours, I parked my unmarked department vehicle in the parking lot of Atlantic Avenue. It was nighttime and the streetlights were on. I was wearing my department issued green SWAT uniform with police patches on the front and back of my plate carrier. I was wearing a full duty belt, rifle, and plate carrier and I was clearly identifiable as a police officer. I walked southbound on Atlantic Avenue and could hear an officer giving the suspect commands to surrender himself. I observed a group of officers that had formed an Emergency Action Team (EAT) northwest of the suspect’s location. An EAT is an organized team of officers formed to keep a suspect from injuring any person and to take the suspect safely into custody. I contacted Sergeant R. Davenport (Unit 3S6) who was the team leader of the northwest EAT. He tasked me with joining his EAT and I became the lethal cover for Officer J. Craver (Unit CF2). Officer Craver was equipped with a less lethal 40MM launcher. I took a position at the rear of a marked police vehicle approximately 20 yards northwest of the suspect. My SWAT rifle is equipped with a red dot electronic sight, sight magnifier, weapon sling, and weapon mounted light. I deployed my rifle due to the need for greater distance, firepower, and accuracy. The suspect was inside of a yard with cinderblock fencing and palm trees that provided cover and concealment for the suspect. The suspect was also at a slightly elevated position overlooking the officers on scene. The suspect was illuminated by a police vehicle spotlight. I observed the suspect was a male Hispanic adult, in his late thirties, heavy set, wearing a black/white flannel long-sleeve shirt, red underwear and light-colored pants. The suspect was seated on the top landing of the stairs that lead to the front entrance of the Iglesia De Cristo Miel ( Atlantic Avenue). Behind the suspect was the church building which was closed and vacated. I knew if the situation necessitated lethal force, my background behind the suspect could contain my discharged cartridges and not endanger the public. The suspect was facing westbound toward officers and pedestrians on Atlantic Avenue. The suspect was in a seated position leaning back with his hands behind him, near his hip. The suspect’s flannel shirt was unbuttoned, and the bottom right flap was partially concealing what appeared to be a black semi-automatic pistol. The suspect kept leaning back attempting to conceal the firearm while also moving his right hand closer to it. I was able to visually confirm that the suspect had a black pistol near his right hip using my sight magnifier. I could hear Officer A. Garcia (Unit MET1) engaged in verbal communication with the suspect, trying to deescalate the situation and get him to surrender himself. Officer A. Garcia was unsuccessful in having the suspect voluntarily comply after multiple attempts. Hostage Negotiator S. Estrada (Unit 3Z30) took over verbal communication with the suspect. She continued trying to deescalate the situation and have the suspect surrender himself to officers. While maintaining lethal cover on the suspect, I was given a brief by Sergeant Davenport regarding the plan to take the suspect safely into custody. He told me SWAT operators at the south EAT were prepared to deploy a flashbang Printed on: 3/18/2025 4:06:40 PM | Page 1 of 3Reporting Officer: Lopez 11253 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .039INCIDENT REPORT (light/sound diversionary device) to divert the suspect’s attention from his firearm. Following the flashbang, I was told by Sergeant Davenport that SWAT operators at the south EAT were prepared to launch 40MM foam-tip less lethal munitions at the suspect to keep him from grabbing his firearm. In the north breezeway of the church building, was another group of SWAT operators prepared to take the suspect safely into custody using a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) and a hands-on approach. I understood that the plan to be implemented would allow us to take the suspect into custody using the least amount of force possible. Our position at the northwest EAT was to keep the suspect contained and not allow an armed suspect to escape and further endanger the public. I believed my location at the northwest EAT, provided us with the greatest tactical advantage to deal with the suspect. If we would have moved away further north, we would have lost visual of the suspect due to the adjacent buildings north of the church. From a greater distance, communication with the suspect would have been difficult for both the suspect and the officers. Moving further away would have also compromised our containment and ability to address the suspect, had he decided to move to a different position or pose a threat of harm to officers or community members. Retreating from the incident altogether was not a viable option. The suspect was armed with a firearm and still posed a serious threat to the community if not immediately apprehended. At this point, I was unaware of the statements the suspect had made regarding suicidal ideations. I heard Sergeant J. Kirk (SH2) air over the police radio that his EAT was prepared for the deployment of the flashbang (light/sound diversionary device) from the south EAT. After confirmation was made over the police radio that everyone was ready for the plan to be enacted, the flashbang was deployed. Following the flashbang, I observed the suspect move his right hand toward his right hip slightly behind him. Simultaneously, the suspect was struck with multiple 40MM foam- tip less lethal munitions. As he was being struck with the less lethal munitions, I could clearly see the suspect holding the black firearm in his right hand near his right hip. The barrel was oriented toward the southwest EAT and the suspect reached over with his left hand and pulled the slide of the firearm back, to chamber a cartridge and prepare to fire. The suspect’s chest was still oriented westbound toward the southwest EAT. My electronic dot sight was focused on his upper chest and as the suspect quickly pointed the firearm at the other officers and community members in the background, I believed the suspect was going to shoot me, other officers, or community members. I further believed, the suspect had the present ability, opportunity and intent to immediately cause death or serious bodily injury to myself, police officers, and community members. I feared for my life and the life of others. I believed the use of lethal force was necessary to defend against an imminent threat. I knew there were no other unintended targets in my background. I knew that behind the suspect was a vacant building that could contain my discharged cartridges. I aimed at the center of the suspect’s upper chest and discharged my firearm once to instantly confront and stop the threat. After I discharged my firearm, I saw the suspect still raise his firearm up toward the southwest EAT and begin to fire a round. I then discharged my firearm once again to instantly confront and stop the imminent threat. I then observed the suspect discharge a second round and fall backward onto his back and roll over onto his right side. The suspect was facing eastbound toward the church away from me. The suspect’s head was facing southbound, and feet were facing northbound. I could not see the suspect’s hands or the firearm, but I could still see the suspect moving on his side. I assessed the need for another shot, and it did not appear the suspect was attempting to acquire another target at that point. The suspect was laying on his right side and rolled onto his back with his arms down at his sides. I then saw the EAT that was positioned at the north breezeway of the church, move toward the suspect to begin rendering medical aid. The officers rendered medical aid until relieved by Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD) personnel. I notified Sergeant Davenport that I had discharged my firearm, and he assigned Officer G. Purdy as my peer. Officer Purdy escorted me away from the scene northbound on Atlantic Avenue to his department vehicle. Sergeant Davenport took possession of my body worn camera (BWC) and asked me the public safety questions. My Police Officer Association (POA) attorney Jim Trott was notified and later responded. We later conducted a walk-through of the scene with Homicide Sergeant B. Vargas. I then responded to the fifth floor of 400 W. Broadway where Lab Analyst V. Torres took photos of me in full uniform. Detective E. Thai took possession of my rifle and magazines. It should be noted that during the shooting, I was not using my magnifier. I did not use my magnifier because I did not want to narrow my field of view of the suspect and/or lose sight of the suspect’s overall movements and the firearm within his reach. By not narrowing my view of the suspect I was able to maintain situational awareness and could better see Printed on: 3/18/2025 4:06:40 PM | Page 2 of 3Reporting Officer: Lopez 11253 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .039INCIDENT REPORT what his hands were doing and anticipate his actions. I also did not personally issue the suspect a Rutherford warning before using force because I did not want to confuse the suspect and have multiple people talking to him at once. From my training, I know only one officer should handle verbal communication at a time when de-escalating. I knew Officer S. Estrada is an experienced and trained hostage negotiator. I know as a hostage negotiator, it is common practice to provide the suspect with a Rutherford warning and I assumed it had already been done.

Weber #10778) responded to the area of 52nd St and Atlantic Ave, in the City of Long Beach, after receiving a notification of a SWAT/REACT activation, via my department issued cell phone, for a person with a gun. This incident resulted in an officer involved shooting (call #1190). Below is a synopsis of my background, training, and experience as a police officer, and the events that occurred on the evening of 11/19/24, as it relates to LBPD DR#240058094. This synopsis was produced from my memory and after review of my body worn camera (BWC) footage related to the incident. I have been employed as a sworn police officer for the Long Beach Police Department for approximately nine (9) years. During that time, I have worked a variety of assignments including but not limited to the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), patrol, directed enforcement, and detectives. I have investigated and/or assisted in the investigation of a variety of criminal acts including but not limited to thefts, shootings, robberies, sexual assaults, murders, and persons experiencing mental crisis. During these investigations, I have contacted, arrested, and interviewed numerous persons that were armed with or in close proximity to a firearm. I have also interviewed victims that have been wounded by gunfire. I have responded to numerous SWAT call outs and served numerous high risk search warrants involving armed suspects. During these incidents, the majority have resulted in a peaceful resolution where the suspect was taken into custody without incident. With my training and experience, I have learned and implemented great restraint of only using the level of force that is necessary based on the totality of the circumstances and actions of resisting suspect(s). I have attended a multitude of training classes including but not limited to the Long Beach Police Department’s 1100 hour basic police officer academy, 40-hour patrol rifle course, 80-hour SWAT course, gang enforcement officer, firearms instructor, flashbang instructor, and a variety of shooting classes. I have also assisted in instructing Long Beach Police Department’s pistol mounted optics course and patrol rifle course. I have been a member of the Long Beach Police Department’s SWAT team for approximately 4 years. The SWAT team is available to assist patrol officers, detectives, and other law enforcement agencies to bring tactical expertise to an incident in order to provide a greater likelihood of a safer and/or peaceful resolution. The SWAT team’s primary mission is to save lives and protect property. SWAT is also used by detectives for the service of high-risk search warrants. During my time on the team, we follow a strict bi-weekly training schedule where we cover a variety of topics as it relates to high- risk, rapidly evolving, and spontaneous incidents that may occur. These types of incidents include but are not limited to armed and barricaded suspects, officer/civilian rescue, and hostage rescue. As a SWAT operator, I have trained on a variety of weapons systems, including but not limited to pistols, AR-15 rifles, bolt action rifles, shotguns, and less lethal launcher and munitions. I have trained with these systems in a variety of conditions, and positions. I have trained to employ these weapon systems from distances of 200 yards and in. When a SWAT response is requested, based on the totality of the circumstances, the type of response is determined by the supervisors on scene and the SWAT tactical sergeant. A SWAT response may be requested for the following reasons: hostage situation, sniper, active shooter, skyjacking terrorism, barricaded suspect, special event, search warrant, dignitary security, or a field supervisor believes an incident requires the special skills of SWAT. Apart of being a member of the SWAT team is responding to spontaneous incidents while off duty, also known as being on call. A response may include the full team (the Tactical Sergeant, 4 independent teams consisting of a team leader and assigned operators, HNT-hostage negotiators, and Techs-robot/drone technicians). A smaller SWAT response, depending on the circumstances, can come in the form of a REACT response. REACT may be requested when the on- scene resource’s capabilities have been exceeded, or when additional tactical expertise are desired. This type of response includes a single team consisting of a team leader and their assigned operators. Additionally, SWAT/HNT/Tech personnel that are on duty at the time, typically respond to assist. Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:10:58 PM | Page 1 of 7Reporting Officer: Weber 10778 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .040INCIDENT REPORT REACT Activation and Response: On 11/19/2024 at approximately 1632 hours, I was off duty when I received notification of a SWAT/ REACT activation, via my department issued cell phone. The notification stated, “React activation. Atlantic N/O 52nd at the church. 417 subj in a standoff with patrol.” When the notification of an activation is sent, it is not probable for the entirety of the information known at the time to be stated in the notification. The purpose of the notification is to advise responding personnel of a location to respond to, and to give a brief description of the type of incident. Based on the notification I received, I believed I was responding to a suspect who was armed with a firearm and not surrendering to officers. Based on the location being a church, my greatest fear was the suspect having access to innocent civilians. I responded immediately while mentally preparing myself to apprehend an armed suspect. While responding to the incident, I retrieved my department radio and waited until I had clear reception to gain as much intel as possible prior to arriving. I listened for SWAT personnel, in particular, to hear them forming a plan and providing updates. I later reviewed the call history and remembered hearing the following radio transmissions while enroute and upon arrival to the scene: The below transmissions and times are approximate as it takes time for the dispatcher to input what was aired by personnel into the call. 16:51 - Continuing to negotiate and get him to comply. Subj still refusing to comply. 16:58 - Still giving commands. Still refusing to comply. He has taken his shirt off. 17:03 - For units on north perimeter. There is something under his right side. 17:35 - North of suspect does look like he has a small gun at his back. He is trying to conceal from us. Further it’s on the steps, not his waistband. Moving so we cannot see it. I was also monitoring our SWAT radio channel, listening to personnel communicate. The SWAT radio channel is used by SWAT personnel to coordinate personnel and equipment during an incident. I heard SWAT Officer D. Martinez advise he was at the scene with the Armored BearCat SWAT Vehicle. He was requested to deploy with a multi-launcher (less lethal launcher with a rotating drum of munitions) with 40mm exact impact less lethal munitions. SWAT Officer D. Martinez responded and was assisting the South Emergency Action Team (EAT). I further heard that Officer L. Mays had a flash bang (a less lethal, noise and light diversionary device used to disorient and distract persons in the direct vicinity). As part of a REACT response, SWAT operators typically arrive, and assist or take the lead of an EAT, along with other mission specific duties as needed. This depends on the needs and capabilities of the personnel operating within the EAT. A SWAT operator brings a level of tactical experience and expertise that increases the chances of a safer resolution for other officers and the community. Based on the above information, that I knew at the time, I believed officers on scene had been attempting to de-escalate the situation and gain the compliance of the suspect for a safe and peaceful surrender. I further believed the suspect was in fact armed with a firearm and attempting to conceal it from view of the officers. Due to the suspect’s non-compliance over the course of the entirety of the incident leading up to this point, I believed SWAT personnel were going to have to comprise a plan to apprehend the suspect. This would be done in the safest manner possible for the personnel involved, the community, and the suspect himself. I further believed SWAT personnel were making a plan to distract, disorient, and launch less lethal munitions at the suspect in order to gain his surrender. Furthermore, this would hopefully distract the suspect from obtaining his firearm and being able to harm surrounding officers or innocent bystanders. It should be noted this belief was an assumption based on my training, experience, and what was being aired over the radio. Arrival and Donning of Equipment: At approximately 1733 hours, I was driving northbound on Atlantic Av from Del Amo Blvd. I called (department cell phone) SWAT Sergeant R. Davenport and asked him where he needed me. He advised me to come to 52nd St and Atlantic Av. I continued to drive to the scene. Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:10:58 PM | Page 2 of 7Reporting Officer: Weber 10778 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .040INCIDENT REPORT At approximately 1735 hours, I arrived at the intersection of 52nd St and Atlantic Ave. I parked my vehicle and walked to the back of my vehicle where I store my equipment in a locked and secured box. I was dressed in a green colored hooded sweatshirt (due to the cold weather), green pants, and brown boots. I donned the following standard issued equipment that clearly identified myself as a police officer: -Green colored duty belt, consisting of my secondary weapon (9mm Staccato duty pistol), 1 spare pistol magazine, 1 spare rifle magazine, tourniquet, medical pouch containing a pressure bandage, and a multi-tool. I fastened my gas mask, in a pouch, to the belt. -Green colored external armored vest, consisting of rifle rated armor on the front and rear, and pistol rated armor on the sides. My vest has “POLICE” patches on the chest and back areas. The patches are displayed in black colored capitalized letters with a green background. The front patch measures approximately 2-inches by 8-inches. The back patch measures approximately 4-inches by 10-inches. There was also an embroidered Long Beach Police Officer badge displayed to the left of the front “POLICE” patch. I had two spare rifle magazines (one being loaded with bonded .223 ammunition designed to penetrate intermitted barriers such as glass), my police radio, a flashbang, and a body worn camera (BWC) mount. There was no BWC attached to my vest as my helmet is equipped with a separate BWC. I only use the vest mount when I deploy without a helmet in certain mission specific situations. -Green colored armored helmet, with a BWC attached via hook and loop (commonly known as Velcro) fastener on the right side of my helmet, facing forward. The camera is separate from the battery pack, which is fastened to the back of the helmet. The battery pack sits in a nylon pouch. A thin electrical cord is extended from the battery pack to the back of the camera. There is a circular button on the front of the battery pack to activate the cameras recording capability of sound and audio at predetermined specifications, set by the manufacture. There is a on/off button on the side of the battery pack. When the battery pack is in the on position, the camera goes into a buffering mode. This mode continuously records but is not saved until the circular button is depressed two consecutive times. Once the camera is recording, the camera saves one minutes time of the buffering recording, however this one minute only consists of video without audio. I turned the camera on and into buffering mode. -Black colored Primary Weapon System AR-15, semi-automatic rifle, chambered in .223/5.56. I inserted a rifle magazine into the weapon and chambered a round. The magazine and weapon were loaded with department issued, Winchester, 223 Remington, 55 grain, ballistic silvertip, ammunition. While donning my equipment, it is my personal standard to verify each of my weapons are loaded, and the optics are turned on and functioning. I further verify I have all necessary safety equipment. Lastly, I retrieve my helmet and turn on the BWC into the buffering mode. Once I am in a mission specific, official police duty, I put the BWC into recording mode. Furthermore, throughout an operation, I periodically conduct a BWC check where I depress the circular BWC button (two times) to confirm the BWC is still functioning and recording. If the BWC does not vibrate when I do this, I know it is already recording. Due to the BWC being mounted on my helmet, there is no way for me to visually check the status of the camera without removing my helmet to see a green (buffering) or red (recording) light. I locked and secured my vehicle. I looked northbound from the north/west corner of 52nd St and Atlantic Av. I observed multiple black and white patrol vehicles and numerous SWAT and patrol officers with their attention focused to the east side of Atlantic Ave. There were two black and white patrol vehicles parked in the northbound lanes of Atlantic Ave, approximately 40 yards north of 52nd St. Police vehicle #971 was pointing in a north/west direction across lane two (2). Police vehicle #962 was in front of #971, pointing in a north/west direction across lane one (1). I observed multiple officers standing on the driver side of the police vehicles. These officers included Tactical Sergeant R. Owens, SWAT Officer D. Martinez, SWAT Officer D. Chamberlain, SWAT Officer M. Lopez, SWAT Officer M. Genna, K9 Officer E. Moscoso, Mental Evaluation Team (MET) Officer A. Garcia, and Hostage Negotiator Team (HNT) Officer S. Estrada. I paused to look around and see where I could be of help. It appeared Tactical Sergeant R. Owens was leading the EAT at this location as he was walking back and forth to each officer. This is common practice for an EAT leader, so all officers involved know the mission, plan, and any contingencies. This EAT was known as the South EAT, since they were south of the suspect’s location. At this time, I observed a large crowd of approximately 20-30 bystanders had gathered on the west side of Atlantic Av, Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:10:58 PM | Page 3 of 7Reporting Officer: Weber 10778 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .040INCIDENT REPORT north of 52nd St. The crowd was standing in what appeared to be a vacant lot. There was chain hanging from poles, separating the lot from the west sidewalk of Atlantic Av. The crowd was directly west of the suspect and south EAT. South EAT and Plan: I made my way from my vehicle and walked to Sergeant Owens to see what I could help with. While walking into the area of the immediate scene, I reached back to the rear of my helmet to depress the BWC button twice to put it in recording mode. I made my way to Sergeant Owens as he was the closest SWAT Sergeant to my location. He informed me of the plan they had already established a plan, prior to my arrival. He informed me a flashbang would be deployed, along with less lethal munitions launched at the suspect. Based on our training and my experience, I believed this would occur simultaneously. I observed both SWAT Officers, Martinez and Chamberlain, were equipped with a less lethal launcher. SWAT Officer Martinez was in a standing position located at the driver side front tire of the front police vehicle (#962). He was looking over the hood of the vehicle and aiming in a north/west direction, towards the suspect. SWAT Officer Chamberlain was in a standing position to the right of Martinez, located near the hood and A-pillar. MET Officer Garcia and HNT Officer Estrada were standing near the driver door. MET Officer Garcia was attempting to de-escalate and communicate with the suspect. I was focused on what the EAT was doing and how I could assist. I know, based on past incidents, MET and HNT officers are highly trained in communicating and gaining compliance with suspects and/or persons experiencing mental crisis. Sergeant Owens and I made the decision I would relieve an unknown patrol officer who was assigned as lethal cover, prior to my arrival. That officer was positioned between K9 Officer Moscoso and SWAT Officer Martinez near the driver- side headlight. I was now lethal cover for Officer Moscoso and SWAT Officer Martinez. The purpose and necessity of the lethal cover position is to have the ability to employ deadly force if needed, due to the personnel that are being covered are deploying with less lethal force options and unable to effectively defend themselves against an imminent threat of death or great bodily injury. Officer Moscoso was in a kneeling position, near the driver side headlight of the front police vehicle. His K9 partner was laying down to his left, fastened to a long leash. K9 Officer Moscoso needed to be in this location and position so he could safely and effectively deploy his K9 if needed. I took a standing, unsupported, rifle position over the top of Officer Moscoso. I positioned myself as close as I could behind and over the top of Officer Moscoso. By setting up in this position, it would prevent Officer Moscoso from being able to stand up and come into my line of fire. I, along with the rest of the SWAT team, have trained numerous times in this position while searching buildings and working in EATs with the K9 team, including K9 Officer Moscoso. I felt comfortable and safe for myself and Officer Moscoso in this position. I began communicating with SWAT Officer Martinez and Officer Moscoso. Officer Martinez confirmed we would be staying at the vehicle, providing cover for a separate SWAT element that was going to take the suspect into custody. At this time, I did not know the location of this element. I confirmed with Officer Moscoso that if he released his K9, and made contact with the suspect, we would stay at the vehicle. He would attempt to have the suspect and K9 come back to the vehicle. We have also trained this tactic and implemented this on numerous incidents in the past. During this short amount of time (approximately 1 minute), I felt I had the necessary information regarding the plan to initiate it. At this time, Officer Moscoso was still kneeling below me and SWAT Officer Martinez was to my immediate right. I could no longer see the other officers of the our EAT and was unaware of their further action. Observations of the suspect and immediate area: I began looking through the magnifier (3x power) attached to the upper rail of my rifle, behind my EO Tech optic. I observed the suspect for the first time. He was being illuminated by multiple police vehicle spotlights. He was in a seated position on the top step of the front entrance to the church. He was facing west towards Atlantic Av and looking in our direction. I observed the suspect appeared to be a light skin tone, Male Black or Hispanic, 30-40 years old, approximately 5’8” tall and 200 pounds. He was wearing a long sleeve, unbuttoned shirt, and light-colored pants. I could not see any Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:10:58 PM | Page 4 of 7Reporting Officer: Weber 10778 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .040INCIDENT REPORT bulges or other signs of a concealed weapon on the suspect’s person or in his clothing. Based on prior radio transmissions and information I had at the time, I believed his firearm was concealed behind him or under his buttocks. The church, where the suspect was sitting, is described as a two-story structure with a tan colored stucco façade. The front entry steps were gray in color and lead east to a pair of metal framed, glass entry doors to the church. There were multiple east facing windows on the first and second floor that appeared to be dark. It was also dark behind the front doors as if the interior lights were off. Due to the doors and windows being dark, I believed the church was not occupied at the time. With this assumption I made, I believed if deadly force was used against the suspect and shots were fired at him, the background would not endanger any innocent bystanders. As I looked through my magnifier, I began visually reading the suspect’s actions while MET Officer Garcia and HNT Officer Estrada continued to communicate with him. I immediately recognized the suspect’s attention was split between Officer Moscoso’s K9 partner and Officers communicating with him as the K9 barked numerous times. I was hyper focused on the suspect’s movements and demeanor and trying to see if I could see his concealed firearm. As the suspect was seated on the top step, his feet were resting on the steps below. He had his left hand visible to me, which was out in front of him. His left hand was empty. While he was communicating back to officers, he would use his left hand to make erratic gestures. He would make gestures with his right hand also; however, he was favoring his right hand to the right side of his leg. Based on the radio traffic I had heard prior; I believed his firearm was somewhere near his right thigh or right side of his buttocks area. This area was out of my view as I was looking at him from an angle. I was positioned approximately at his 10 o’clock as if he was facing us. I was approximately 20 yards from the suspect’s position. The suspect kept lowering his right hand down and then back up from the ground near his right upper thigh area. His right hand was empty each time. He did not make these types of movements with his left hand. I made an assumption the suspect was right-handed and was verifying the position of his firearm. I believed if he was going to arm himself with his firearm, he would do so with his right hand. I understood my mission at this time had not changed, and was to provide lethal cover for Officer Moscoso and SWAT Officer Martinez. Due to them both handling less lethal force options, if the suspect presented himself as an imminent lethal threat, I would have to engage him with my rifle. I would do this to defend my life, and the lives of Officer Moscoso and SWAT Officer Martinez. I also feared if the suspect were to fire his weapon in our direction, he would have a great likelihood of striking numerous innocent bystanders in the crowd that had gathered behind us. Initiation of plan to apprehend the suspect: At this time, Sergeant Owens asked myself and officers around me, if were ready to initiate the plan. I said I was ready and heard other officers say they were also ready. Sergeant Owens told us to get ready. I had no reservations about initiating the plan that was set forth. I believed the plan of using less lethal munitions and a flashbang would disorient, distract, and cause the suspect to separate himself from his firearm. If he separated himself far enough away from the firearm, officers would safely take him into custody and lessen the chance of making it necessary to use deadly force. Moments later, a flashbang was deployed, just south of the suspect. The flashbang went off approximately 10ft south of the suspect, near the curbline of Atlantic Av. The loud noise, and bright light briefly startled me, but I have been exposed to flashbang deployments numerous times in the past. I know how to think and operate through these exposures. As soon as the flashbang went off, the suspect curled his feet up and towards his body. He rolled back slightly to his right and his right hand lowered towards the ground on the right side of his buttocks. The suspect immediately brought his right hand back in front of his stomach area from the right side of his body. He was now holding a small black colored object in his right hand. I heard numerous loud bangs were coming from his direction. I believed the bangs were gunshots coming from the suspects firearm. At the same time, the suspect was extending his right hand away from his body, towards me and our EAT. I identified the item as a compact size pistol, pointing directly at us. I believed the suspect was firing his firearm at us in an attempt to kill us. I feared and identified the suspect as an imminent threat of causing death or serious bodily injury to myself, Officer Moscoso, Officer Martinez, Officer Chamberlain, Officer Garcia, Officer Estrada, and the crowd of innocent bystanders behind us. The officers and I were all wearing body armor for our Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:10:58 PM | Page 5 of 7Reporting Officer: Weber 10778 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .040INCIDENT REPORT own protection, but the innocent bystanders had nothing to protect themselves other than myself and the other officers. Based on the totality of the circumstances, I believed the suspect was actively showing he had the present ability, opportunity, and apparent intent to immediately and continue to cause death or serious bodily injury to the above officers and innocent bystanders beyond us. I had already considered the space between me and the suspect, and the space behind the suspect to be clear of any other potential risks to the safety of the public and other officers in the immediate area and beyond. I believed the church behind the suspect was constructed of a solid material, capable to containing any bullet that may have not struck the suspect. I believed the necessary force option of eliminating the suspect as an imminent threat of death and great bodily injury, was to engage him with deadly force by firing my rifle at him until he was no longer posing as an imminent threat. I depressed the safety selector on my rifle to the firing position with my right thumb. I placed my right index finger on the trigger and fired three consecutive rounds while aiming at the suspect’s chest area. I aimed at the suspect’s chest to give me the largest and most effective striking area that I was exposed to. I purposely fired consecutive rounds because the suspect was actively firing his pistol in our direction. I was continuously assessing the suspect’s actions. I observed the suspect roll backwards and onto the right side of his body. At the same time, I observed the suspect’s firearm fall from his right hand and land on the entry way to the church. It appeared the firearm had landed near the right side (south) entry door of the church. He appeared to be in the fetal position with his right arm extended out towards the area of the firearm. The suspect’s arm was reaching in a manner where I believed he was attempting to regain control of his firearm and continue his violent and potentially deadly attack on us. I reassessed the immediate need for deadly force to continue and determined he was still an imminent threat of death or great bodily injury. I fired one additional round at the suspect’s back as he was now facing away from us and towards the doors of the church. At this time, I reassessed the suspect’s actions and he slowly rolled towards me and onto his back. He came to rest in the supine position on the top of the entry way to the church. I placed my safety selector switch of my rifle back to the safe position. The suspect’s head was facing south and his feet were facing north. Both of his arms were extended out and away from his body. I also looked to my right and left. While doing so I heard Officer Moscoso advise me he was backing away from the vehicle. I repositioned to the front driver side tire area, over the hood of the vehicle. This is the area where SWAT Officer Martinez had been positioned. At this time, I conducted a BWC check and depressed the recording button twice to confirm I was recording. I did not feel a vibration, leading me to believe it was already in recording mode. I maintained visual of the suspect and continued to reassess his actions. I believed the suspect was struck multiple times by gun fire and in need of immediate medical attention. I believed other officers had fired multiple less lethal munitions but was unsure if any other officers had fired their duty weapons. I believed the suspect had a bleeding wound in the back but could not see his chest area as he was slightly elevated and face up in the supine position. As I looked through my magnifier and focused on the suspect, I could see his breathing became shallow. His chest rise and fall were diminishing. I believed he was in need of medical attention. I looked to my right and saw Sergeant Owens. I immediately advised him I was involved in a “998” (officer involved shooting) and he told me to hold my position. I began giving commands to the suspect, telling him not to move and we were going to get him help. Based on the plan of us not moving from our location to apprehend the suspect, I believed a separate SWAT element was going to move to the suspect, make the immediate area safe, and begin performing life saving measures on the suspect. Moments later, I observed SWAT Sergeant Kirk, Officer Dyer, Officer Moreno, and Officer Mays come from the north side of the church and approach the suspect. They appeared to immediately begin medical treatment and CPR. I believed they did not need my help, so I remained at my position. They were later relieved by Long Beach Fire Personnel. As Sergent Kirk and his team were treating the suspect, my attention was drawn to the crowd behind us when I heard someone shouting, “Watch your back!”. Multiple male and female adults were yelling and trying to come into the middle Printed on: 3/18/2025 5:10:58 PM | Page 6 of 7Reporting Officer: Weber 10778 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .040INCIDENT REPORT of Atlantic Av from the west side of the street, towards the crime scene. I observed multiple patrol officers detain at least two female adults. I was later advised that a use of force occurred while detaining the above subjects. I did not witness the use of force. Moments later, I observed Officer Pruiet near me. I looked at him and he had blood on his hands. I asked him if he was hit, and he said no. I then learned SWAT Officer Martinez had been struck by a bullet in the arm and was being transported to the hospital. I did not know in the moment of the shooting, that SWAT Officer Martinez had been struck, by what I now believe to be the suspect’s gunfire. I observed blood spatter on the driver side front fender of the vehicle and on the pavement below. I believed the blood was from SWAT Officer Martinez’s gunshot wound. Once the scene was deemed safe, Sergent J. Lacey contacted me and conducted a “Safety Statement” regarding my involvement in the officer involved shooting. Sergeant Lacey read the questions from the form, and I willingly provided my statement to him. The statement was recorded on BWC. I provided him my helmet BWC to him for downloading and review purposes. See Sergeant Lacey’s report for further detail. Detective J. Weber responded to the scene and was assigned as my peer support officer. I remained with him throughout the remainder of the investigation. While waiting for further direction from handling detectives, I observed dried blood stains on my pants near the right knee. I believed the blood was from SWAT Officer Martinez’s gunshot wound from when I repositioned to the front driver tire area of the vehicle. I advised Homicide Sergeant Vargas of my observations while still at the scene. I remained at the scene until reviewing my BWC footage of the incident with Homicide Lieutenant Fernandez. It was at this time that I learned my BWC was not in recording mode as when I believed it was while approaching the south EAT upon my arrival. I later conducted a walk-through of the crime scene with Homicide Sergeant B. Vargas and my attorney, Jim Trott. After the walk through I was released from the scene. I responded to 400 W Broadway where I met with Detective E. Thai and lab personnel. I donned all the same equipment I was wearing the time of the OIS and was photographed by the lab personnel. I rendered my rifle safe by removing the magazine and extracting a live round from the chamber. I inserted the live round into the top of the magazine. Detective Thai documented and took possession of my rifle. He also took possession of my pants as evidence. At this time of the investigation, my involvement concluded.

Nolasco #11020) and I were working uniformed patrol in a marked black and white police vehicle as Unit 3A82. We were dispatched to Iglesia De Cristo Miel at Atlantic Avenue to assist with a safety sweep of the incident. The location is a church with the front located on the west side of the church facing Atlantic Avenue. There is a small open courtyard on the northside of the church and it is accessible through the east end of the property through a chain link fence that opens onto Via Veranada for pedestrian access. The church is also accessible through a door located along the north wall of the church, closer to the east and end of the church. It should be noted that an Officer Involved Shooting occurred in the front steps of the church, hours before our arrival. Upon arrival, we contacted Incident Commander Sgt. B. Hearst #10766 who tasked us with conducting a safety sweep of the church to ensure no one was hurt inside. We met with Officer J. Meyer #6311 on the rear of the church, on Via Veranada. We contacted the church staff who granted us access and we entered the building though the courtyard of the church. No one was found inside. In the front of the church, within the property, we did not locate any strike marks, casings, fragments, or pertinent physical evidence inside. The front doors were shattered but nothing was found within the property. A video surveillance camera was located inside of the property, and it faced the front entrance.

Myers #10363, I responded to the area of Atlantic Avenue in reference to an Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) investigation which occurred on 11/19/2024 and documented under LBPD DR#240058094. Homicide detectives requested I respond to the surrounding businesses and attempt to retrieve any surveillance video that may have captured the incident. I responded to the following locations: 1- Atlantic Avenue (Joshua’s flowers for less). I spoke to the at the location and explained to her the premise of the contact. Altamirano was cooperative and allowed me access to the DVR. This location had a total of four security cameras. Three of the cameras were interior view and one was exterior view. The exterior camera was positioned towards the front of the business entrance with a northbound view, away from the incident in question. I took photographs of the security camera’s monitor and later uploaded them on to Evidence.com. 2- Atlantic Avenue (Precise Barbershop). I noticed two cameras affixed to the northeastern portion of the exterior of this business. One was pointed in a north direction and one in a southeasterly direction (which may have had a vantage point of the incident). I contacted the the business explained to him the premise of my visit. was cooperative and explained to me he had cameras on the interior and exterior of the business. However, he explained only the interior cameras were operable and the exterior cameras was just for visual deterrence.

Hunt #11004) responded to Atlantic Avenue regarding an attempt suicide call (Call #1190). The call later resulted in an officer involved shooting. While on scene I held a perimeter position in the backyard of Atlantic Avenue (Just north of the Suspect's location). I remained in the backyard for approximately two hours with a solid cinderblock wall between my location and the Suspect's location (Approximately 30 feet away). My only view of the Suspect was through a narrow gap in the wall, where utilized the camera application on my personal cellular phone to zoom in and I was able to see that the Suspect was concealing a small pistol on the ground behind him. The firearm was positioned with the butt of the handle facing eastbound and the barrel of the firearm facing northbound toward my direction. I notified personnel of the firearm via handheld radio and maintained my position in the backyard until I heard an officer involved shooting occur. I did not see any of the event leading up to, during, or after the officer involved shooting, due to repositioning myself several feet away from the wall which prevented me from being able to see through the crack. Unit 3C20 (Officer J. Meyer #6311) and I conducted a safety sweep of Atlantic Avenue, as well as Knock and Talk statements. I contacted a male subject ) inside of unit and he told me that he was home at the time, but did not see what happened. He added that he did hear police officers attempting negotiations with the Suspect for a while before he eventually heard approximately 3-5 gunshots.

DISPATCH On 11/19/2024 at approximately 1642 hours, I (Officer M. Genna #11386) was assigned as an operator to the Long Beach Police SWAT REACT team. We received a call out for a person armed with a firearm that was in a standoff with patrol officers in the area of Atlantic Avenue and 52nd Street (call #1190). I responded to the scene wearing an issued green SWAT uniform with "Long Beach Police" patches on each shoulder, issued plate carrier with "POLICE" patches on the front and rear of my vest and an issued ballistic helmet. UPON ARRIVAL As I arrived on scene, on 11/19/2024 at approximately 1715 hours, numerous marked black and white patrol vehicles were in the area focused on the Iglesia De Cristo Miel De Long Beach church located at Atlantic Avenue. Multiple police vehicles had their forward-facing red lamps activated, and spotlights oriented facing a male subject who was seated on the top steps of the church in front of the main entrance. INCIDENT After donning my equipment, I responded to the Emergency Action Team (EAT) that was located northwest of Atlantic Avenue. Multiple announcements were being made from the EAT south of my location. I was informed by officers at my EAT that the subject was believed to be in the possession of a firearm located rear of his body, may even be sitting on it. The officer that was giving verbal commands was giving the subject instructions to surrender to officers. The subject was verbally responding to the officer giving commands but was not complying. I was later assigned to the southwest EAT. I was briefed by Unit YS1 (Sgt R. Owens) regarding the plan to take the subject safely into custody. The plan was to utilize a Noise Flash Diversion Devise (NFDD), otherwise known as a flashbang, and 40mm less lethal sponge rounds to entice the subject to comply without incident. The NFDD and 40mm less lethal sponge rounds were going to be deployed from the southern EAT in order to move the subject away from the firearm and in a northward direction. A northern EAT was established and was north of the subject, located in a small breezeway north of the church. The northern EAT was tasked with being the arrest team and taking the subject into custody if he ran northbound after NFDD and 40mm less lethal deployment. I was assigned to deploy the NFDD from the southern EAT. After deploying the NFDD, I was tasked with providing lethal cover for less lethal officers in my EAT. After all units were in place, I was advised to commence the plan and deployed the NFDD. The subject was still in a seated position on the top of the stairs in front of the church. I deployed the NFDD on a solid cement sidewalk that was clear of any obstructions. The NFDD landed approximately 10 feet southwest of the subject. The NFDD successfully detonated in the area I intended to place it. Immediately after the NFDD deployment, the subject was impacted by multiple 40mm less lethal sponge rounds. As this occurred, I began to transition to my issued SWAT rifle to assume my lethal cover. Lethal cover is designed to engage an imminent threat, if one presents itself, for an officer that is assigned a less lethal role. Officer Woods was assigned the less lethal role and was located approximately 5 feet to the south of my location. The subject, in conjunction with the NFDD detonation, pulled what I believed to be a black handgun from behind his back with his right hand. The subject pointed the handgun in the direction of the southwestern EAT where I was located. Based on this action, I believed that the subject intended to cause death or serious bodily injury to Long Beach Police officers. The subject appeared to fire the handgun in the direction of Long Beach Police officers located at the southwestern EAT. This furthered my belief that the subject was intending to cause death or serious bodily injury to Printed on: 3/19/2025 9:05:23 AM | Page 1 of 2Reporting Officer: Genna 11386 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .045INCIDENT REPORT officers. I heard multiple gunshots fired from my EAT as I transitioned to my SWAT rifle and observed impacts on the subject. With the subject presenting a lethal threat to officers and civilians in the area, I raised my SWAT rifle and presented it at the subject. As I obtained a sight picture of the subject, he appeared to be falling backwards, towards the church wall, with the firearm no longer oriented at any police officers. Due to this, I believed the subject no longer represented an imminent threat. I maintained lethal cover on the subject as he ended up in a supine position on the top of the stairs. The subjects' feet were facing toward the north and his head toward the south. The subjects' hands were at his sides and the firearm was still close to the subject right hand, located against the west wall of the building. I knew this because I observed the firearm in subjects' hand as he was falling backwards and was able to observe where it landed in relation to his body. An EAT was located in the alleyway just north of the church. This EAT was tasked with approaching this subject in order to take him into custody and provide medical aid. Once this EAT was on approach, I relinquished my lethal cover to them. Officers provided medical aid until relieved by Long Beach Fire Department personnel. I remained on scene as scene security until I was relieved.

D. Martinez #10323) was on duty when I received a notification for REACT personnel to respond to the church located on Atlantic Avenue north of 52nd Street for a person with a gun (Call #1190). I have been on our SWAT team since 2017, throughout my career as a SWAT operator I have had extensive training in firearm and less lethal tactical 40mm launchers. I am a certified explosive breacher and a subject matter expert in less lethal munitions/chemical agents. I have responded to several SWAT activations for subjects armed with firearms and understand the level of risk that these calls bring to our personnel. Prior to receiving the notification to respond to the scene, I had my police radio on in my vehicle and was monitoring the call. I heard that a subject was on the steps of the church and was refusing to show his hands to the police officers on scene. I took this as a sign that he was in fact armed with a firearm and trying to conceal it. An officer aired over our police radio the subject was stating he was the one that called dispatched on himself. Hearing this, gave me a strong feeling that this individual was suffering from great mental distress. An officer also aired the subject was making 929-A statements, which means he was suicidal. While I was prepping my police gear, which included my black ballistic helmet and department issued ballistic vest that had Police patches both on front and back of the vest, I heard over the police radio the subject state to police officers he had a small caliber firearm on him. One of the on-scene sergeants aired the subject had tucked a metal object under his butt but they were not sure what it was. Shortly after receiving the notification, I arrived on scene and equipped myself with our 40mm tactical less lethal multi launcher and 40mm exact impact munitions. I walked up to where other SWAT personnel were standing so we could brief our plan of action. As I walked to their location, I could see the male subject was seated on the front steps of the church with his button up shirt open and he seemed agitated. I could hear him screaming towards the officers and waving his left arm around but keeping his right arm tucked by his right side which is where the metal object was seen. While SWAT personnel was briefing our plan (Sgt. J. Kirk, Sgt. R. Owens, Sgt. R. Davenport, Ofc. N. Dyer, Ofc. M. Gena, Ofc. M. Woods and Ofc. D. Chamberlain and I), which was to deploy a diversionary device to get him away from the firearm and follow up with 40mm munitions to keep him away from the firearm so an arrest team that would be off to the side of the church could take him into custody, a police officer aired he could see a small firearm on the steps and the subject was trying to conceal it from us. Once we were ready to act on our plan, we walked up to a police vehicle where our negotiators were talking to him. The vehicle was facing northbound on Atlantic Avenue just north of 52nd Street and about 25 yards southwest from the subject. The negotiators were giving him commands to remove himself from where he was seated to take him away from the firearm. The arrest team was towards the northside of the church and a secondary team was north of my location at a police vehicle that was just northwest from the suspect. Ofc. B. Weber #10778, Ofc. D. Chamberlain #10221, Ofc. M. Woods #11139, K9 Ofc. E. Moscoso #6164 and I, set ourselves up behind the engine block of the police vehicle as a form of cover. Once given the go ahead by our SWAT Sergeant to affect our arrest plan a diversionary device was thrown to the steps of the church in hopes of moving the subject away from the firearm.

It was my job to deploy 40mm munitions at the subject to stop him from reaching for the firearm. After the diversionary device went off, the subject leaned towards his right and with his right hand grabbed the firearm. I immediately began to deploy multiple 40mm munitions at the subject to stop him from picking up the firearm and firing it at any of the nearby arrest teams. The munitions showed no effect as they hit the subject’s stomach. The subject then began to turn his body towards our location with the gun now in his right hand. I continued to deploy 40mm munitions as he was making this motion. I saw the subject was now pointing the firearm towards our arrest team as I was still deploying 40mm munitions and that is when I heard several gunshots ring from his firearm. Not only did I hear the shots, but I could see the muzzle blast from his firearm. I could hear the hammer and trigger of the 40mm clicking meaning the drum of the 40mm less lethal launcher was empty. The drum holds a total of 6-40mm less lethal munitions, and I believe I was able to deploy all 6 rounds. I felt a strong impact on my left forearm and knew I had been struck by gunfire from the subject’s firearm. I heard multiple gunshots ring from my left as they struck the subject, unknown which officers had fired. I was not able to see the gun fire striking his body, I was only able to see the subjects body reacting as the gun fire went off. Ofc. B. Weber was my lethal cover and standing to my left. When operating a less lethal launcher it is important that the officer in charge of the less than lethal force option is accompanied by lethal cover by another officer to protect them. In this case, it was important to have Ofc. B. Weber as my lethal cover to stop the subject from continuously firing towards our location, without his lethal cover I believe the subject would have fired several more rounds at us. Once I saw the subject was down and motionless, I told Ofc. Chamberlain, I had been struck. I could feel the blood dripping down my left arm and down into my hand. I could see it seeping through my gloves and onto my pants and shoes. I could feel my arm throbbing and was in great pain. We walked away from the police vehicle and into a safe area to assess my injuries. Ofc. Chamberlain and Ofc. C. Pruiet assisted in removing my gear, and locating the gunshot wound so that we could apply a tourniquet. I was later transported to Long Beach Memorial by Long Beach Fire. I was treated by Dr. Murray and later released from the hospital.

Owens, R. #5717 was off duty when I received a call from patrol Sgt. B. Hearst regarding a potential SWAT/React activation. The call was regarding a male suspect armed with a handgun in the area of Atlantic and 52nd St. Officers had been negotiating with the suspect in an attempt to get him to surrender peacefully. Members of our Hostage Negotiation team and Mental Evaluation team had been called to assist with negotiations, but the suspect continued to refuse to comply. A SWAT React element was requested to assist. Approximately 12 SWAT officers responded to handle this ongoing tactical situation. Once on scene, I met up with SWAT Sgts Kirk and Davenport. At this point, Hostage Negotiators and MET officers had been talking with the suspect for over 2 hours to get the suspect to comply. I requested the assistance of our Long Beach SWAT Tactical Medics who began to respond to the scene. I could see that the suspect was seated on the front steps of the church located on the east side of Atlantic just north of 52nd Street. He would continually reach behind him with his right hand as if something was hidden where he was seated. I could not clearly see what he was hiding but other officers who were on scene stated they could clearly see that it was a small firearm. Officer Estrada, S. who is a Hostage Negotiator assigned to our SWAT team, along with MET Officer Garcia, A were conducting negotiations. I have worked with Officer Estrada on over 50 SWAT Activations and on training days. Officer Estrada is a good negotiator and knows that if she felt the negotiations are changing, she will not hesitate to advise me of the change. When Hostage Negotiators feel the suspect's actions are changing for the positive and they are making progress with the suspect, they will inform the tactical command they would like more time to convince the suspect to surrender. On other events, Hostage Negotiators will let the tactical command know the suspects actions are changing in a negative manner in which immediate tactical response is needed. In some cases, Hostage Negotiators will come to the conclusion that negotiations are at a standstill and are not progressing. After well over 2 hours of negotiations, talking with Sgt. Kirk, Sgt. Davenport, Sgt. Hearst and viewing the suspects actions, we believed that negotiations had come to a standstill and we prepared a plan to safely take the suspect into custody. At this point, I could see the suspect taking his flannel shirt off as if he was going to surrender only to put it back on and refuse to comply. His mannerisms appeared to me to be one of attempting to bait an officer into approaching him. It is common that suspects will lie or falsely state their intentions. I do not recall exactly what the suspect was saying but I knew both Officer Estrada and Officer Garcia, A. were doing all they could to get the suspect to surrender peacefully. All of their efforts over the past several hours were not successful and a tactical plan to peacefully resolve the incident was discussed. Sgt. Kirk and I discussed several different contingent plans to take the suspect into custody. Our tactical plan was to have three teams of officers’ work in conjunction to take the suspect into custody. Sgt. Davenport would run the northwest EAT and I would run the southwest EAT. Sgt. Davenport's Northwest EAT would be responsible to provide a perimeter in case the suspect attempted to run in a north or northwest direction. If the suspect did attempt to run, they would be equipped with a 40mm and a lethal cover. Sgt Davenport's position would also give a different angle of observation in case they were able to see something the south EAT could not. Sgt Kirk would take his EAT to the rear of Atlantic and make entry into the courtyard. They would continue westbound to the front of the location and stage in the breezeway just west of the pedestrian gate. This location would put them approximately 20 feet north of the suspect out of view. Our plan was to deploy a distraction device just south of the suspect location. This distraction device delivers a loud audible diversion of 175db as well as a 6-8 million candela visible flash that lasts 10 milliseconds. The purpose of the distraction device is to temporarily stun the suspect and possibly get him to run or move northbound away from the firearm so that Sgt Kirks team could safely take him into custody. Over the past several years, we have had numerous incidents successfully resolved without the use of force by implementing this tactic. By simply deploying a distraction device, several suspects have given up without incident. This Printed on: 3/19/2025 9:30:55 AM | Page 1 of 3Reporting Officer: Owens 5717 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .047INCIDENT REPORT is also the lowest form of force escalation as there is no projectile or agent deployed, only light and noise. If the distraction device was unsuccessful, officers Martinez, Woods and Chamberlain would engage the suspect with 40mm Exact Impact sponge rounds. The idea was to deploy the Exact impact rounds from the southwest direction of the suspect. Ideally, the suspect would want to escape the direction of the force and move northbound away from the less lethal sponge rounds. Once this portion of the plan occurred, this would allow Sgt Kirk and his team the opportunity to peak the corner of the building to the North and evaluate the best plan to safely take the suspect into custody. Sgt Kirk's team could have a number of different options at this point depending on the suspects actions. The first factor that would determine Sgt. Kirk's team actions was if the suspect was still armed or not. Under no circumstances was Sgt. Kirk's team going to approach the suspect if he was still armed or anywhere near the firearm. If the suspect was still armed or stayed near the firearm, they would not break the corner of the building and remain behind cover. If the suspect did separate from the firearm or move northbound, Sgt. Kirk's team would cover the ground on foot from the north edge of the building and go hands on to apprehend the unarmed suspect. A secondary option as they encountered an unarmed suspect was to deploy a CEW (Conducted Energy Weapon) to temporarily incapacitate the suspect which would allow us to safely take him into custody. In addition to the distraction device plan, Exact impact less lethal sponge rounds plan, and CEW plan, we also implemented a K9 deployment plan. If the suspect separated himself from the firearm and ran west or south, Officer Moscoso would deploy his K9 which would allow Sgt. Kirk and his team to take the suspect into custody. K9 Moscoso would not deploy his K9 if the suspect immediately armed himself with the firearm as that would complicate the tactical response. In every contingency plan option, the suspect completely controlled the level of use of force based on his actions. If at any time the suspect decided to comply and give up, he would be taken into custody without any further incident. The directions for my immediate EAT was to have officer Martinez deploy a less lethal multi-launcher pump 40mm. This would give him the capability to deploy 6 rounds of Exact impact rounds instead of 1. Officer Woods and Officer Chamberlain would deploy the single launcher 40mm. Officer Weber would be our designated lethal cover officer. Officer Genna was assigned to deploy the distraction device. K9 Officer Moscoso was our K9 handler. Officer A. Garcia and Officer S. Estrada were continually attempting to negotiate with the suspect the entire time. There were other patrol officers on scene, but I specifically gave them orders that once SWAT officers were in position, they would not be involved in the operation. During a SWAT/React operation, our team trains and deploys in a different manner than a patrol EAT. SWAT does not assign a lethal cover for every less lethal operator. This is done for a few reasons. An overwhelming amount of equipment assigned to SWAT is less than lethal. We, as a SWAT team, train to a "TEAM" concept. Traditionally we will assign a lethal cover for each EAT and/or area of responsibility. That does not mean that we only have one lethal cover overall as it will depend on the tactic and circumstance. Once our three EAT teams were set in place, I gave Officer Genna the go ahead to deploy the distraction device. He deployed the distraction device on the sidewalk just south of the suspect. Just after the distraction device was deployed, I could hear Officer Martinez deploy his 40mm Exact impact launcher. I immediately heard what appeared to be a small caliber handgun. An officer involved shooting immediately occurred as I heard 8-10 rifle and pistol rounds being fired. After the officer involved shooting, I immediately began to check the officers on my EAT to see if anyone was injured. I heard officer Chamberlain ask for medics as he was giving medical aid to Officer Martinez. I requested the medics respond to our location to treat Officer Martinez as they were staged just south of our location. Officer Pruiet began to apply a tourniquet to the upper left arm of Officer Martinez. As Officer Martinez was taken to the medics. I returned to the south EAT to maintain our control of the scene. I coordinated with Sgt Kirk who moved up to the downed suspect and began to provide medical attention. I then facilitated getting the medics from their staging location to the downed suspect. Long Beach Fire personnel arrived on scene and provided medical aid to the suspect.

Lambert #11352) and I (Officer L. Mays #11381) were working uniformed patrol in a marked black and white patrol vehicle as Unit 445C. We assisted Units at the location of Atlantic Avenue, regarding SWAT REACT (Special Weapons and Tactics) Activation involving a subject armed with a firearm. (Call #1190) Upon arrival, I observed the dispatched location to be located on the east side walk of Atlantic Avenue, north of 52nd Street. I observed the location to be Iglesia De Cristo Miel De Long Beach Church ( Atlantic Avenue). I observed the suspect to be sitting on the steps of the location, wearing a black and gray jacket, and stonewashed jeans. At this time, I heard the suspect talking but was unable to hear what was being said. While on scene, I was operating as a SWAT Operator where I was tasked with being a less-lethal option assigned to an EAT (Emergency Action Team). My role was to have a CEW (Conducted Electrical Weapon) and our EAT included SWAT Operators K. Moreno #10775, N. Dyer #10167, and SWAT Sgt J. Kirk #6051 who was our team leader at the time of the incident. A Tactical plan was formulated, and we were tasked with positioning ourselves in the northern courtyard of the dispatch location, where we were concealed by the wall of the church. At this time, Sgt Kirk advised via radio transmission that our team was set and ready to execute the tactical plan. We stood behind the wall maintaining our concealment, when the deployment of the flashbang could be heard just south of our location. I knew it to be the bang, as I could hear the loud bang resembling a firework. Approximately a second after the bang was deployed, I heard a singular loud pop, followed by approximately eight more loud pops. At this time, I could hear glass shattering and yelling in the background. At this time, I believed gun fire between the suspect and Officers on scene had been exchanged. This occurred for approximately five to seven seconds, before nothing else was heard. At this time, I looked in the direction of the suspect, where I observed him to be lying flat on his stomach, with his right arm away from his body to the east, and his left arm away from his body to the west. At this time, a tactical plan was formulated with our EAT to render medical aid to the suspect as quickly and safely as possible. Once the plan was formulated, we approached the suspect, where I stood on the steps next to the right arm of the suspect where I observed a small black in color firearm, approximately 1 inch away from his right hand. I moved the firearm a safe distance away from the suspect to ensure he could not reach or grab the firearm and further endanger officers. Surrounding the suspect, I observed various broken glass on the ground, along with multiple cartridge casings. The suspect was lying just west of two glass doors, where the glass was shattered in the shape of spider web. Further, I observed multiple dime sized holes in the glass doors. As we began rendering medical aid I observed a single bullet fragment protruding out of the suspect's left chest area, below the nipple line. I observed what appeared to be a red liquid spread across his chest. At this time, we began chest compressions, along with sternum rubs. As we were doing chest compressions, I could see a very slow rise and fall of the chest of the suspect, where he briefly gasped for air. I, Officer Dyer, and Officer Moreno continued rendering medical aid until Long Beach Fire Department Personnel arrived on scene where they took over the life saving measures.

Lambert #11352) was working uniformed patrol as Unit 445C. I responded to the area of 51st Stret and Atlantic Av. Upon arrival I took up a position on the inner perimeter on the south side Atlantic av. I observed the suspect sitting on the stairs facing westbound. MET Officer A. Garcia was actively negotiating a plan to surrender with the suspect though the suspect did not comply with any of Officer Garcia's orders. SWAT personnel responded and relieved patrol officers of their positions on the main EAT. I observed SWAT Officer M. Genna release a flash bang followed by Officer M. Woods discharging a 40mm less lethal projectile at the suspect. There was a short pause followed by what I believed was gunfire. I observed the suspect curl into a ball, similar to the fetal position with his back facing westbound as he fired several rounds from a small dark firearm over his shoulder westbound towards the EAT. I was certain the suspect fired rounds at the EAT as I observed a firearm shaped object in the suspects hand, and I observed what I believed to be muzzle flash from the object. I heard what I believed to be an exchange of gunfire from the SWAT EAT and the suspect. The suspect dropped the firearm before rolling over on his back with his chest up towards the sky. SWAT officers took custody of the suspect. I later was informed Detective D. Martinez was struck by gunfire in the arm. I escorted LBPD rescue 11, who transported Detective Martinez to Long Beach Memorial Hospital. I returned to the scene and took a witness statement. For further refer to my follow up report.

At the time stamp of 11-19-2024 17:42:32 (7 minutes and 49 seconds into the video) I could see a flash of light (I assumed to be the "flash bang"). Boyd used his right hand to reach behind him and started firing at officers. I could see the muzzle flash from his firearm as he pointed in the direction of officers. The front window of the church is shattered and Boyd rolled over onto his right side, with his back to officers and continued to move his hands around. Boyd then rolled on his back. Officers approached Boyd and began providing medical aid. 11-19-2024 17:44:46 "Church lobby..._Motion_20241119-174446.mp4": This video is 10 minutes long. I could see officers providing medical aid to Boyd on the front steps. Personnel from the Long Beach Fire Department also arrive and provided medical aid to Boyd. The following is a summary from the security camera that was fixed to the exterior of the church: Boyd can be seen sitting on the steps of the church. Officers arrive and being talking with Boyd over two hours. Since the camera appeared to be motion activated, it did not capture the incident. The video labeled entrance ...Motion_20241119-151222.mp4" begins at the time stamp of 11-19-2024 15:12:22 hours. It was the first clip provided that shows Boyd walking northbound on the east sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue and sat on the front steps of the church. The video labeled entrance..._Motion_20241119-173228.mp4" begins at the time stamp of 11-19-2024 17:32:28. The clip is 10 minutes and 3 seconds long and ends at 17:42:30 right before the incident unfolded. The video labeled entrance..._Motion,Human_20241119-174524.mp4" the clip begins at the time stamp of 11-19 -2024 17:45:24. Officers were already with Boyd providing medical aid when the video begins. There was no recording from this camera angle of the incident. Confirming accuracy of time stamp on church video: Since I was not able to directly obtain the video from the church's DVR system, I confirmed the time stamp on the church video to be one second faster than the actual time. I confirmed this by finding the time stamp on the church video when the flashbang was deployed. It was very obvious with the flash of light to be at "11-19-2024 17:42:33". I then compared it to the time stamp of officer's body worn camera footage and determined the flashbang deployed at "11-19-2024 17:42:34".

Fernandez #10062) was contacted by Watch Commander Lieutenant R. Wexler at approximately 1745 hours regarding an Officer Involved Shooting. (Call #1190) Lieutenant R. Wexler stated officers had responded to a call involving an armed suspect who was standing in front of a church ( Atlantic Avenue). After attempting to de-escalate the situation for approximately 2 ½ hours, the suspect refused to disarm himself, and a shooting occurred involving four officers. Lieutenant Wexler stated the suspect also discharged his weapon during the incident and struck Detective D. Martinez in the arm. I instructed Lieutenant Wexler to secure the scene and establish a command post using the Mobile Emergency Operations Center (MEOC). Immediately after concluding my phone call with Lieutenant Wexler, I contacted Homicide Detail Sergeant B. Varjas and instructed him to respond to the scene along with a team of Homicide Detectives. At approximately 1830 hours, I responded to the scene and made contact with Lieutenant Wexler who directed me to the scene located in front of Atlantic Avenue. As I observed the scene, I noticed the decedent in front of the main entrance of the dispatched location partially exposed. I then approved the use of body shielding panels. Lieutenant Wexler identified the shooting officers as follows: Officer B. Weber, Officer M. Woods, Officer M. Lopez, and Officer F. Pena. I requested the body-worn cameras for all shooting officers, and I was directed to contact Sergeant R. Davenport and Sergeant J. Lacey for their body-worn cameras. At approximately 1845 hours, I contacted Sergeant Davenport who provided me with the cameras belonging to Officers Pena and Lopez. I then contacted Sergeant Lacey who provided me with the cameras belonging to Officers Weber and Woods. I maintained possession of the cameras until docking them at the downtown station after the investigation. At 1903 hours, Sergeant B. Hearst provided Homicide Detail personnel with a brief of the incident. Sergeant Hearst reiterated the information provided to me by Lieutenant Wexler during our initial phone conversation. Sergeant Hearst also stated that less lethal ammunition was also used during the incident, and he identified all personnel involved. He further mentioned that relatives of the decedent who were present during the incident, broke into the crime scene immediately after the shooting, and force was used to detain and arrest them. I instructed Sergeant Heart to file the force used after the shooting under a separate departmental record (DR #24-58094). At 2030 hours, I responded to the MEOC to brief Chief Wally Hebeish on the incident. Upon arrival, I was informed that Commander N. Carillo had already briefed Chief Hebeish. Per the request of Chief Hebeish, I presented him and the following personnel with Officer Pena’s BWC footage related to the incident: Commander S. Jenson, Commander M. Richens, Commander N. Carillo, and Commander Gallo. At approximately 2110 hours, Sergeant Vargas advised me that he was preparing to conduct scene walk-throughs with the shooting officers, and the officers had requested to view their BWC footage. I contacted Long Beach Police Officer Association Attorney Jim Trott and Officer Pena inside the MEOC and presented them with Officer Pena’s BWC footage. At approximately 2220 hours, I met with Long Beach Police Officers Association President Lieutenant Richard Chambers and Officer Lopez inside the MEOC and presented them with Officer Lopez’s BWC footage. After viewing the footage, Officer Lopez exited, and Officer Woods entered. I presented Officer Woods and Lieutenant Chambers with Officer Woods’ BWC footage. Immediately after, Officer Woods and Lieutenant Chambers were presented with Officer Woods’ BWC footage. During the investigation, Justice System Integrity Division (JSID) representatives responded to the scene, and they were briefed by Sergeant Vargas in addition to being provided with a walk-through of the crime scene. At the conclusion of the walk-through, I met with JSID representatives in the MEOC and presented them with the shooting officers’ BWC footage. For further see Sergeant Vargas’ supplemental report.

Moscoso#6164) responded to a possible person with a gun call in the area of Atlantic Ave North or 52nd ST. Call #1190. Sgt B. Hearst #10766, the supervisor on the scene, requested that I respond to the location with lights and a siren. I arrived at approximately 1537 hrs. I saw the suspect sitting on concrete steps in front of Atlantic Ave (Iglesia De Cristo Miel). I could hear Officers communicating with the suspect, but he was uncooperative and refused to surrender. I contacted Sgt Hearst and he told me that he believed the suspect to be armed with a handgun and the suspect had been making statements that he wanted officers to shoot and kill him. Sgt Hearst and I discussed a tactical plan to take the suspect into custody. I was later advised SWAT resources had been called for. I was contacted by SWAT Sgt Owens and provided with a tactical plan to take the suspect into custody. This plan included the use of 40mm less lethal launchers, a noise flash deterrent device (NFDD), and my police service dog Odin. The plan also outlined the possibility of the use of a conductive energy weapon and bodily force. Before implementing the tactical plan, I was advised via police radio that an officer could confirm that the suspect was attempting to conceal a handgun under his buttocks. I also heard officers communicating with the suspect specifically warn him that force would be used against him if he did not comply. Sgt Owens told me after the deployment of the NFDD, Officers would utilize the 40mm less lethal in an attempt to gain compliance. If the use of the 40mm was able to create enough space between the suspect and the gun, and he was still not complying with commands, I would use my police service dog to prevent his movement toward the gun. I could accomplish this by attaching a long leash to my police service dog, thereby limiting his distance from me and preventing the suspect’s free movement while in contact. I took a position of cover at the front of a nearby police vehicle. This position was approximately 40 feet south/west of the suspect who was still sitting on the front steps of Atlantic Ave. SWAT Officer Weber #10778 provided lethal cover over my left shoulder and took a kneeling position behind my police service dog. The tactical plan was implemented and the NFFD discharged near the sidewalk directly in front of the suspect. I could hear several 40mm’s being deployed. Due to the NFDD, I was unable to determine exactly where the 40mm's were being deployed from, but I did see one impact on the suspect's upper body. I observed the suspect suddenly produce a handgun and could see two muzzle flashes from his gun. I believed the shots the suspect was taking were directly pointed at me and the officers in my general vicinity. I was in fear for my life and the lives of the officers around me. I called out “Gun”. I believed it was immediately necessary to employ lethal force to stop the suspect from killing or seriously injuring officers or the nearby public. I heard several, of what I believed to be, rifle shots from police officers on scene. Because my hearing was still impaired from the NFDD, I was not immediately able to determine where the shots were coming from other than Ofc Weber's rifle that was directly over my head. I do not recall how many shots I heard come specifically from Ofc Weber's rifle. I observed the suspect roll onto his right side and face away from us. I believed he had been incapacitated by the officer's shots. I removed myself and my police service dog from our position at the front of the vehicle. I did not observe any further force being used. I was later advised that my police vehicle was parked within the inner perimeter and could not be moved till photographs of the scene had been completed. I was allowed to return home and file my follow-up report the next day.

She observed the subject that was talking to the police was a male approximately 33 years old and he was wearing a black and white jacket, with grey pants. She noticed that he had his right hand behind his back. The police told him to show his hands, and he showed his right hand, and he did not have anything in his right hand.

Connell #10777) assisted multiple units regarding an unknown trouble text to 911 at Atlantic Avenue. This incident subsequently resulted in an officer involved shooting (call 1190). The call stated an unknown trouble text to 911, possibly a person with a gun. A description was provided as a male, possibly Hispanic. The calling (texting) party texted that there is a man with a gun by the church. While enroute, dispatch further advised the subject involved was wearing a sweater and pants. Additionally, dispatch advised that the calling (texting) party’s location was showing per their resources at S. Atlantic Avenue. Upon arrival, I observed a male, dark complexion, approximately 40 to 50 years of age, wearing a long sleeve shirt and light-colored pants seated at the top of the stairs of the dispatched location. I observed two patrol vehicles stopped to the south of the dispatched location. I drove my patrol vehicle to the east curbline, facing northbound of Atlantic Avenue just north of the stairs where the subject was seated. I exited my patrol vehicle and walked to the drivers side rear of my patrol vehicle to speak to the subject seated on the steps. I positioned myself standing at the rear of my patrol vehicle on the driver's side in the roadway of northbound Atlantic Avenue. I faced the subject to the east and slightly south in a position where I could observe and speak to the subject but also utilize my patrol vehicle for cover if the subject was in fact armed with a gun. From my position I had a clear and unobstructed view of the subject in a seated position with his back upright and his feet resting on the step directly below him. I then attempted to make verbal contact with the subject seated on the stairs. The subject immediately placed his right hand along the side of his right pocket and waist while stating, “Wait I don’t want any kids around this.” I immediately interpreted this statement as forewarning from the subject that he was aware that an incident that could cause harm to others was possibly about to occur. The subject then removed a concealed object that appeared dark in color from somewhere on the right side of his torso. The subject covered the item with his hand and placed his arm and hand behind his back near the concrete step he was seated on. Due to the nature of the call and the subjects' actions of appearing to conceal an unknown object in a place where I could not see it, I formulated the opinion that the subject I was speaking to could be the person with a gun I was dispatched to and that the subject was possibly armed. I unholstered my firearm, pointed it at the subject and ordered him to drop whatever item he was concealing and place his hands above his head. The subject did not initially comply and began making statements to the effect of, “The call was to Atlantic, I made the call.” I continued to order the subject to drop the item he was hiding behind his back and place his hands above his head. The subject then stated, “I am not here for you, you are only doing your job.” The subject ultimately placed his hand in the front of his torso without any items in them. I requested that the subject place his hands on his head and walk to the bottom of the stair's multiple times. The subject would not comply and remained seated where he was initially observed. The subject then stated, “I am giving you guys a second to clear traffic, I want this to be about me and no one else.” I was assisted at my location where my patrol vehicle was positioned by Unit 3B81 (Officer F. Pena #6014 and Officer A. Trujillo #6214) and Unit 3B22 (Officer D. Chamberlain #10221). Officer Chamberlain coordinated roles for the group of officers at my position and I was tasked with providing lethal cover for our team at my position. I continued to speak with the subject for several minutes. The subject was emotional and began to cry multiple times while placing his hands on his head. The subject later alluded to me that he had created the dispatched incident, his intent to cause harm to himself through the current encounter with police, and that he intended to hurt himself. When asked if he was in possession of a firearm, the subject would not directly answer the question. However, when I would mention that police were dispatched to a person with a gun call, the subject stated, "If the caliber was bigger, I would have just done it myself.” I interpreted this statement to believe that the subject was in fact armed with an unknown firearm and that the subject was suicidal. I reiterated to the subject multiple times that our intentions were to help him and Printed on: 3/19/2025 10:04:42 AM | Page 1 of 3Reporting Officer: Connell 10777 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .057INCIDENT REPORT did not want to hurt him. Unit 3Z30 (Officer S. Estrada #11142) arrived on scene south of my location in the roadway adjacent to a patrol vehicle and also attempted to communicate with the subject. During her conversation, the subject restated to Officer Galloway, “If it was a bigger caliber, I would have just done it myself.” The subject later stated, “I am here to force you all to hurt me, and I just want to let you know at the end of the day it is already over.” Officer Galloway was subsequently unsuccessful in gaining compliance with the subject during her conversations with him. I was then later accompanied at my location by Unit CF2 (Officer J. Craver #10996 and Officer L. Sands #11271) Later on, I recontacted the subject from my previously described position. During our conversation, I encouraged the subject to let the police help him. I also asked the subject what had been occurring today. The subject informed me he had been walking around all day. The subject identified himself by the first name of “Brandon.” The subject had been arrested multiple times and used to live in the area we were currently located. I told the subject that we would be able to help him get resources if he was homeless. The subject explained he had utilized homeless resources, and he was unhappy with the living conditions provided. The subject refused numerous requests to surrender at the bottom of the stairs. I reiterated multiple times that we were there to help him, and no one wanted to harm him. The subject stated, “I should have chosen a more secluded place and at the end of the day I am going to force your hand.” Unit MET1 (Officer A. Garcia #10117) arrived on scene south of my location where Officer Galloway was located and began to communicate with the suspect. During Officer Garcia’s communication with the subject, the subject removed his long sleeve shirt and placed it on the ground behind him. The subject still wore a black short sleeve shirt and the previously described light colored pants. Officer Garcia attempted to reason with the subject and offer resources and positive possible outcomes of our current encounter with the subject. I overheard Officer Garcia later inform the subject that a lack of cooperation could result in police force being used against him. The subject became confrontational for periods of time and argumentative and then would be calm and talkative. The subject explained his lack of compliance was the only leverage he currently had against the police. Officer Garcia communicated with the subject in excess of an hour and offered him cigarettes in an effort to gain compliance. At one point Officer Garcia informed the subject he may not be in trouble if he was to cooperate with us. The subject then replied, “I am a felon in possession of a firearm.” The subject later began to remove his black short sleeve tee shirt exposing his torso from the waist up. As the subject continued to sit in the same place he was originally contacted. As the subject leaned back and to his sides, I could observe a dark square like object on the concrete stairs. The subject was partially sitting on this item. I could observe there to a hole in the center of the square like object consistent with the appearance of a barrel of a pistol. The subject was requested multiple times to move lower and lower on the stairs. The subject stated he would comply and move further down the stairs. However, the subject would only attempt to re position himself in the same place, each time the subject would reposition himself, it appeared he was attempting to sit on the object previously described. As the daylight began to disappear, spotlights were activated on my patrol vehicle and the vehicles to the south to illuminate the subject. With the lighting illuminating the subject and the stairs he sat on; I could again observe the object positioned between the ground and his buttocks. While illuminating the subject, he stated, “You guys are trying to see it.” I perceived this statement to refer to a possible firearm being concealed underneath the subject. I was later informed that personnel from the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team were currently arriving on scene and were beginning to implement an arrest plan utilizing their personnel and their resources to include the use of a flash bang device. After more than two hours into our attempt to communicate with the subject and gain compliance through verbal de- escalation, the subject had demonstrated a consistent unwillingness to surrender under his own will. I was then relieved by SWAT Officer M. Lopez #11253 at my position. I then walked northbound to the hood of my patrol vehicle and was informed that the aforementioned arrest plan using SWAT resources would be occurring briefly. I was also informed that my new role would be to provide scene security to the north of my location. Momentarily, I positioned my body to the north to observe our current perimeter. At this moment, I felt and heard the detonation of a flash bang device being deployed. I then heard a succession of approximately four to six bangs I recognized to be gunshots followed Printed on: 3/19/2025 10:04:42 AM | Page 2 of 3Reporting Officer: Connell 10777 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT 400 W Broadway | Long Beach, CA 90802 | 562-570-7260 DR: 240058094 Supp: .057INCIDENT REPORT by approximately two to four more single bangs. I took over along the patrol vehicle parked just north of where my patrol vehicle. I then moved closer to our northern most perimeter of Atlantic Avenue. I heard on the police radio that an officer involved shooting had occurred. I maintained my position providing northern crime scene security for the remainder of the incident.

Myers # 10363) was assigned to the Long Beach Police Department Homicide Detail. At approximately 1800 hours, my partner (Detective E. Shear #11334) contacted me regarding an officer involved shooting that had just occurred at Atlantic Avenue. He advised me that a Long Beach Police Officer had been shot, an officer involved shooting occurred and the suspect was pronounced deceased at the scene. Detective Shear and I were assisted by Detective M. Hutchinson # 5779, Detective J. Reyes #10075 and Detective J. Espinoza # 6194. Homicide Lieutenant E. Fernandez # 10062 and Homicide Sergeant B. Vargas # 6277 also responded to the scene. I responded to the command post which was in the parking lot of Atlantic Avenue. I drove my department issued, unmarked, Ford Explorer and parked facing northbound in the number one lane of southbound Atlantic Avenue south of 52nd Street, where the road had been closed due to the incident. I could see Officers utilized marked black and white patrol vehicles and crime scene tape to close the area. When I arrived, it was dark outside and the area was lit by the overhead streetlights, patrol vehicles and ambient lighting coming from the surrounding businesses. Brief: Sergeant Hearst # 10766 briefed us on the incident. Present at the brief was Deputy Chief Mauk # 5562, Commander Richens # 6056, Commander Carrillo #5884, Lieutenant Quinones # 10056, Lieutenant Fernandez # 10062, Lieutenant Wexler #5728, Sergeant Vargas, Detective Shear, Detective Hutchinson, Officer White # 11009, Officer Suderno # 10140, and Officer Nogales #11563. Sergeant Hearst stated the City of Long Beach Emergency Communication Center received a text to 9-1-1 regarding a subject in front of the church at Atlantic Avenue with a firearm. When officers arrived, they contacted the suspect, later identified as Brandon Boyd. He was making suicidal comments and possibly sitting on the firearm but would refuse to move away from it. Boyd's family arrived to the area and were on the outskirts of the perimeter of the crime scene as the incident unfolded. Some of those family members were involved in a use of force incident with officers (for further see DR#240058099). A Mental Evaluation Team (MET) Officer A. Garcia #10117 and a Long Beach Police Department SWAT Negotiator S. Estrada # 11142 were already on duty and responded to the scene in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. After approximately two hours of negotiating with Boyd, he moved away from the gun long enough for officers to identify it as a firearm. A portion of the Long Beach Police Department SWAT team (REACT) had been activated and arrived on scene. Officers had determined that the church was closed and no one was inside the building Boyd was in front of. During their interaction with Boyd, he was very fidgety, moving erratically and had removed his jacket and shirt. They had set up an Emergency Action Team (EAT) on the north and south side of the building (in the northbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue) to create a triangulation with Boyd and avoid crossfire. The plan was initiated to distract Boyd with a diversionary device and then utilize the 40 mm less lethal rounds to encourage Boyd to move away from the firearm that he was seated on. Once the diversionary device was set off and 40 mm projectiles were deployed at Boyd, he retrieved the firearm from underneath him, began shooting at the officers and officers returned fire. During the exchange of gunfire, Officer Martinez was struck in his lower left arm. During their investigation, Detective Shear and I learned of the following: North Emergency Action Team: The north EAT consisted of Officer Craver # 10996, Officer Sands #11271, Officer Robbins # 10877, Officer Connell # 10777, Officer Betancourt # 6117, Officer Trujillo # 6214, Officer Pena # 6014, SWAT Officer M.

Weber # 10778, Hostage Negotiator Officer S. Estrada # 11142, MET Officer Garcia # 10117, SWAT Officer Chamberlain # 10221 and SWAT Officer Genna # 11386. The team had positioned themselves behind marked city of Long Beach black and white police vehicle (license plate # 1635911) and were facing in a northeastern direction. Officer Weber used lethal force against Boyd. Officer Martinez used a 40 mm tactical less lethal multi launcher against Boyd. Officer Woods used a less lethal launcher on Boyd and then transitioned to his pistol. After the shooting Sergeant J. Lacey # 10003 obtained safety statements from Officer Woods and Officer Weber. Arrest Team: SWAT Sergeant J. Kirk #6051, Officer N. Dyer #10167, Officer L. Mays # 11381, and Officer K. Moreno # 10775 were located on the north side of the church. After the shooting, they approached the suspect and began rendering medical aid, until the Long Beach Fire Department personnel were able to assist. Officer Martinez Injuries: Sergeant Hearst advised me that Officer Martinez had sustained one gunshot wound to his lower left arm. He was escorted by other officers and walked approximately 138 feet to the Long Beach Fire Department staging area. He was transported to Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and released several hours later. Crime Scene: Detective Shear and I walked through the crime scene at approximately 1945 hours with Sergeant Hearst. We began identifying and labeling evidence as we walked northbound Atlantic Avenue from south of the crime scene. We identified 36 items of evidence; for further refer to Criminalist H. Cochran's #7887 report and photographs. We started where the south EAT had been. There were two marked black and white patrol vehicles (#1666012 and # 1635911) in the number 1 and number 2 lanes of northbound Atlantic Avenue facing in a northwestern direction. I could see there were large areas of blood splatter near patrol vehicle # 1635911 that I believe to be Officer Martinez's blood. There was a 40mm tactical less lethal multi launcher on the hood of the same patrol vehicle that was also covered in blood. Around the area of the south EAT, four .223 cartridge cases, two 9mm cartridge cases, two 40 mm sponge rounds, and one 40 mm cartridge case were located and collected. At the north EAT there were two black and white patrol vehicles facing each other. Vehicle # 1542808 was in the northbound lane of Atlantic facing southbound. Vehicle # 16692727 was also in the northbound lanes of Atlantic Avenue but facing northbound. There were six .223 cartridge casings and one 40 mm cartridge case on the west side of the patrol vehicles. At the base of the stairs which lead to a landing of the church, Officers had set up a "body shield" to block the public view of Boyd. On the landing at the top of the stairs for the church I could see the suspect's body. He was laying on his back and was surrounded by broken glass from the glass doors to the church that had been hit by gunfire and/or 40 mm sponges. The suspect's firearm was south of the suspect on the landing. There was other damage done to the face of the church that was documented and photographed by Criminalist Cochran; for further see her report. Justice System Integrity Division (JSID): Detective R. Acosta, Detective S. Yau, Detective J. Casto and DDA Villegas responded to the scene. They conducted a walk-through of the scene at approximately 2130 hours. Suspect Brandon Boyd: The suspect was identified by family that had arrived on scene as Brandon Boyd. Los Angeles County Medical Examiner Investigator K. McCracken responded to the scene.

The following is a summary of events: Dispatch: On 11/19/24 at approximately 1534 hours, I (Officer E. Robbins #10877) was working uniformed patrol as Unit 3C54 when I assisted with a person with a gun at Atlantic Avenue (Call #1190). The calling party texted there was a male Hispanic, bald, tall that had a gun by the church. For further on the incident, see the main incident report. Upon Arrival: Upon arrival I joined the Emergency Action Team (EAT) on the north side of the church. When the REACT Officers arrived, I left the EAT to do crowd control on the north perimeter of the crime scene. I heard a loud flashbang detonate and looked over towards the suspect. I observed the suspect point a firearm towards Officers and observed a muzzle flash from the suspects gun as he fired it. I then heard several additional gunshots and observed the suspect lying motionless on the ground. Shortly after that, some of the suspect's family members attempted to enter the crime scene. I went to stop them from entering the crime scene and a use of force occurred. For further on the use of force, see DR#24-58099. One of the family members was the suspect's sister (later identified as Tyerra Boyd). I asked Tyerra if she observed the shooting, and she told me she didn't remember. Tyerra stated she just remembered Officers coming up to her telling her to get back. She also stated she remembered her sister (later identified as Desiree Boyd) "going crazy" and running over to her sister.

At the time stamp of 11-19-2024 17:42:32 (7 minutes and 49 seconds into the video) I could see a flash of light (I assumed to be the "flash bang"). Boyd used his right hand to reach behind him and started firing at officers. I could see the muzzle flash from his firearm as he pointed in the direction of officers. The front window of the church is shattered and Boyd rolled over onto his right side, with his back to officers and continued to move his hands around. Boyd then rolled on his back. Officers approached Boyd and began providing medical aid. 11-19-2024 17:44:46 "Church lobby..._Motion_20241119-174446.mp4": This video is 10 minutes long. I could see officers providing medical aid to Boyd on the front steps. Personnel from the Long Beach Fire Department also arrive and provided medical aid to Boyd. The following is a summary from the security camera that was fixed to the exterior of the church: Boyd can be seen sitting on the steps of the church. Officers arrive and being talking with Boyd over two hours. Since the camera appeared to be motion activated, it did not capture the incident. The video labeled entrance ...Motion_20241119-151222.mp4" begins at the time stamp of 11-19-2024 15:12:22 hours. It was the first clip provided that shows Boyd walking northbound on the east sidewalk of Atlantic Avenue and sat on the front steps of the church. The video labeled entrance..._Motion_20241119-173228.mp4" begins at the time stamp of 11-19-2024 17:32:28. The clip is 10 minutes and 3 seconds long and ends at 17:42:30 right before the incident unfolded. The video labeled " entrance..._Motion,Human_20241119-174524.mp4" the clip begins at the time stamp of 11-19 -2024 17:45:24. Officers were already with Boyd providing medical aid when the video begins. There was no recording from this camera angle of the incident. Confirming accuracy of time stamp on church video: Since I was not able to directly obtain the video from the church's DVR system, I confirmed the time stamp on the church video to be one second faster than the actual time. I confirmed this by finding the time stamp on the church video when the flashbang was deployed. It was very obvious with the flash of light to be at "11-19-2024 17:42:33". I then compared it to the time stamp of officer's body worn camera footage and determined the flashbang deployed at "11-19-2024 17:42:34".
