LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS! LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS, BRO! >> Newly released body camera footage from the Kern County Sheriff's Office reveals the intense and fast-moving moments leading up to a deadly deputy-involved shooting on Highway 58 in Bakersfield, California. Authorities say the incident began around 5:30 p.m. on April 10th, 2026, when deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the 500 block of South Pepper Drive involving 41-year-old Giovanni Montoya Guzman. >> Okay, answer our people what happened.

Did you need any medical aid? >> The ambulance. The ambulance. >> Okay, let me transfer you over to the ambulance, please. Don't hang up. >> Investigators say Guzman fled the scene before deputies arrived, triggering a dangerous pursuit through Bakersfield that was eventually called off due to unsafe driving conditions. >> Headed west down on the 58. Uh >> At this point it would be a failure to yield. Speeds are at 100. He's going to be southbound on the northbound lane of Old River. Speeds are going to be at 68. We are not pursuing. >> Minutes later, deputies learned the suspect's vehicle had crashed and overturned along eastbound Highway 58 near Weedpatch Highway. As deputies approached the wrecked vehicle and attempted to make contact, body camera footage shows a tense confrontation unfolding beside the highway embankment. According to the Sheriff's Office, Guzman suddenly opened fire on deputies first, forcing deputies Javarous Dillard and Senior Deputy Isaac Azua to return fire. The dramatic footage captures deputies taking cover, shouting commands, and exchanging gunfire during the chaotic encounter that ultimately ended with the suspect being pronounced dead at the scene. >> Driver's going to be armed with a semi-automatic silver pistol.

The Kern County Sheriff's Office later identified the deputies involved as Deputy Javaris Dillard and Senior Deputy Isaac Azua. Following department protocol, both deputies were placed on routine critical incident leave pending the outcome of the investigation. On May 13th, 2026, the department's incident review board determined that the deputies' use of force was within department policy. Officials also confirmed that no deputies were injured during the exchange of gunfire. The Sheriff's Office says the release of the body camera footage is part of its transparency policy surrounding critical incidents, providing the public with a clearer picture of the dangerous events that unfolded that evening on Highway 58. The case has since been forwarded to the Kern County District Attorney's Office for independent review while investigators continue asking anyone with additional information about the incident to come forward.
