Sacramento, California — On May 2, 2025, just after 11:50 a.m., Sacramento Police patrol officers were dispatched to a report of a domestic violence incident involving a weapon. The caller reported that the suspect, 37-year-old Johnny Balcorta, threw a knife at him, attempted to molest him, and stole his property. Additionally, the caller reported that Balcorta had the caller’s BB gun. Balcorta had a felony no-bail warrant for his arrest. Officers arrived on scene around 12:00 p.m. and located Balcorta, who fled on foot from officers with what appeared to be a firearm in his hand. Officers pursued Balcorta, but lost sight of him near the waterline near Matsui Park. Additional officers responded, and a large perimeter was established. Resources from outside agencies, including the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, West Sacramento Fire Department, and the California Highway Patrol were requested and responded to assist.

Crisis Negotiators responded and called Balcorta’s phone multiple times. A negotiator left a voicemail for Balcorta. For about 30 minutes, officers made announcements utilizing the Public Address (PA) system, calling for Balcorta to come out of hiding with nothing in his hands and to surrender peacefully. Announcements were also made that a police K-9 would be used if Balcorta attempted to flee. After nearly an hour of officers trying to get Balcorta to surrender, Balcorta was seen again and ran from officers. Officers made additional PA announcements warning that a police K-9 would be deployed. Balcorta was given several commands to stop, but he refused. A K-9 officer (officer #1) deployed his dog to apprehend Balcorta. As the dog reached Balcorta, officers observed a gun in his hand. At one point, Balcorta turned toward the officers with the gun in his hand. The officers gave additional commands for Balcorta to drop the gun, but he did not, and an officer-involved shooting occurred.

During the officer-involved shooting, a less-lethal bean bag round was also utilized. A California Highway Patrol helicopter was overhead as the incident occurred. Balcorta could be seen striking the dog with the firearm before being detained by officers. The California Highway Patrol helicopter, which had a paramedic-trained officer on board, landed shortly after and assisted Sacramento Police Officers in providing emergency medical aid. Balcorta was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. After receiving treatment, he was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on multiple charges, including brandishing an imitation firearm, assaulting a Police K-9, resisting arrest, and his outstanding felony warrant for possession of a controlled substance. The weapons were recovered at the scene. After investigators examined them, both were determined to be imitation firearms.
