The incident occurred on February 1 when the Santa Ana Police Department received a 911 call from a Menifee Police Department dispatcher regarding 45-year-old Jose Alfonso Velasquez. Menifee detectives had tracked Velasquez’s cellphone to the 1400 block of North Freeman Street, where his ex-wife reportedly lived. The dispatcher informed SAPD that Velasquez was wanted for the fatal shooting of a woman, possibly his girlfriend, in Menifee and that he was likely armed and driving a silver Honda CRV. Around 6:30 a.m., two SAPD officers arrived at the location and spotted Velasquez sitting inside the CRV with a passenger. As officers approached, Velasquez immediately fled, sparking a pursuit. The chase spanned approximately 13 miles into Newport Beach, where Velasquez jumped a curb and maneuvered around barricades meant to prevent vehicles from accessing the pier. Officers followed him onto the pier as bystanders scrambled to get out of the way. At the end of the pier, Velasquez came to a stop, jumped out of his car, and brandished a pistol in his right hand. Officers immediately opened fire. Footage from an Orange County Sheriff’s Department helicopter captured Velasquez lying on the ground beside his vehicle with what appeared to be a gun in his right hand. Police said that while he was still breathing, he refused to comply with officers’ commands. "Given the ongoing threat posed by the suspect, who did not respond to officers’ verbal commands, a 40-millimeter less-lethal launcher was deployed," SAPD officials stated. "Following the deployment, a police K9 was used to assist officers in handcuffing and arresting the suspect." Medical personnel from the Newport Beach Fire Department arrived and pronounced Velasquez dead at the scene. A firearm believed to have been used in the Menifee homicide was recovered. According to police, Velasquez had prior arrests for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, and brandishing a firearm in a threatening manner. 0:00 - Intro 0:19 - 911 calls 2:59 - Car #1 officers bodycams 3:36 - Car #2 officers bodycams 4:22 - Helicopter footage 5:20 - Suspect down, holding a gun #SantaAna #NewportBeach #PoliceChase #OfficerInvolvedShooting #CrimeNews #BreakingNews #CaliforniaCrime #Menifee #HomicideInvestigation #PublicSafety #LawEnforcement #GunViolence #PolicePursuit #CrimeAlert #LocalNews Disclaimer: The following content contains graphic scenes of violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.
