At nine minutes after midnight on November 29, 2017, San Diego Police Department Officers Jarrel Davis and Joseph Propati located a vehicle parked on Ciotas Way. in the Kearney Mesa Recreation area located at 3170 Armstrong Street. The park was closed at that hour and no cars should have been present. The car, a four-door 2009 Acura TSX, bore paper license plates and had two occupants. The occupants were later identified as Jason Santana, driver, and Marco Huerta, passenger. Officers initiated contact with the occupants to conduct a field interview. Following a brief conversation with the officers, during which the officers learned the vehicle was stolen, the driver, Santana, backed the vehicle up in the direction of Officer Davis before turning and exiting in the parking lot. Officer Davis, was struck in the back and stumbled, catching his footing right before falling. Davis stated that he feared he was about to be run over, and fired one shot through the front driver-side window of the vehicle. That shot resulted in a through-and-through wound to Santana's left biceps. The subsequent pursuit ended with a traffic collision between the suspects' vehicle and a parked car in front of 3935 Marlesta Drive. After a brief foot pursuit, Officer Propati detained Santana near the side gate of the residence. When Santana was arrested, a loaded Rigarmi semi-automatic pistol, model 1953 and chambered in 25 Auto caliber, was found in his pocket. The firearm had not been identifiably reported as stolen, however it had been manufactured prior to the marking and record-keeping requirements of the Gun Control Act of 1968. Santana was transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital for treatment of the gunshot wound to his left arm. Santana was released from the hospital and was questioned by detectives. He was then booked into the San Diego County Jail. Santana and Huerta are documented and self-admitted members of the 'Westside Luni Mobb' criminal street gang. The San Diego District Attorney reviewed the evidence in this case and cleared Officer Davis of liability.
