Anaheim, California — On April 16, 2025, at approximately 7:45 p.m., Anaheim Police officers responded to the Kona Motel located at 331 N Brookhurst St after they received a call that someone had been shot. Officers arrived on scene within one minute of the call and located a male adult victim who suffered from a gunshot wound. Officers were able to quickly obtain a suspect vehicle description, which was a white Chevrolet Silverado, last seen southbound on Brookhurst Street. Additional officers who were responding to the call located the suspect vehicle near Brookhurst St and Lincoln Ave, a short distance away from the crime scene. Officers attempted to stop the suspect vehicle, but the driver did not comply. The driver was identified by police as Danny Lee Cuelho, 51, of La Habra. Anaheim Police officers pursued the vehicle for approximately 45 minutes on the freeway and city streets.

Several PIT maneuvers were attempted before the vehicle was disabled at the 1400 block of W Memory Ln in the City of Santa Ana. When the pursuit ended, an officer-involved shooting occurred. Cuelho was fatally wounded and pronounced deceased at the scene by Orange County Fire Authority personnel. A total of eight Anaheim Police officers fired their weapons during this incident. No other agencies were involved in the shooting at the end of the pursuit. There was an adult male passenger in the suspect vehicle who was uninjured. He was interviewed at the Anaheim Police station and released several hours later. The victim from the shooting at the Kona Motel was transported to the hospital and was listed in stable condition. The cause of the shooting at the motel is being investigated by Anaheim Police detectives. No officers or other motorists were seriously injured during this incident.

A preliminary search of the truck did not reveal a firearm, however, after a search warrant was issued, officers located a handgun inside the vehicle. It’s unclear exactly where the gun was found, but police confirmed it matched the one used in the earlier shooting at the motel. As of June 27, police still did not know what object Cuelho was holding at the time of the shooting.  Cuelho had a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for vehicle theft, armed robbery, drug possession and sales, gang involvement, and hit-and-run, according to police. It was not immediately clear whether investigators had determined a motive for the initial shooting or Cuelho’s connection with the victim. The passenger’s involvement also remains unknown. A use-of-force investigation is ongoing, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office will review the case.
