REYES: Okay. Explain what happened from that point on?
COSTELLO: As uh, as I cleared the bushes and, and heard the, some people
kind of yelling um, I looked up and I saw a Hispanic male
wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans standing I believe at the
passenger side of the vehicle. There was another subject on the
other side of the vehicle, I think is was a white male with a dark
shirt and as I looked up towards the uh apartment complex,
there were several males standing up at the front of the complex
and they were all pointing um with their index fingers towards
the Hispanic male with the white t-shirt.
REYES: Approximately how far were you away at that point?
COSTELLO: Uh I was - -
REYES: From the people pointing?
COSTELLO: I was probably about maybe twenty feet.

REYES: Okay. Were any statements being uh made by these subjects as they
were pointing at this subject?
COSTELLO: No, I, I don't remember anything being said.
REYES: Okay. Where's Officer Benstead at that time?
COSTELLO: He was walking I think to my left.
REYES: Okay. What do you do at that point?
COSTELLO: I basically called out to that Hispanic male. I said, "hey police, come on
over here" and tried to get his attention.
REYES: Okay. Now, did he respond to you?
COSTELLO: He looked over at me and quickly looked away.
REYES: Okay, when he looked over at you, um, did - - in your opinion, um, did
he have enough time to identify you as a Police Officer?
COSTELLO: Yes. It was obvious that he recognized me as a Police Officer.
REYES: Okay. Now, when you say he turned away, when he turned away did
he - - what did he do from that point?
COSTELLO: He turned away and then he kind of looked back and I said, "hey come
here a minute, wait a minute" just trying to get his attention and I
heard him say, "fuck this" and then he started to run around the front
of the truck that was parked - - he was parked right behind another
vehicle and he started to run westbound around that truck away from
US.
REYES: Okay. When you're giving him these basic commands to come over to
your location, um, can you tell where his hands are, or what he's doing
as far as body language?
COSTELLO: Um, it basically - - he had a long t-shirt that covered his waist and no,
I, I didn't seen anything in his hands, I basically saw him just start to
walk away quickly.
REYES: So, you could not see his waist at all?
COSTELLO: No, I couldn't see his waist.
REYES: It was concealed by an oversized t-shirt?
COSTELLO: Yeah, it covered his waist.
REYES: Okay. So, he states "fuck this" and starts to walk away around the
car. What are you thinking in your mind at that time?
E
COSTELLO: I'm thinking that he's in - - possibility involved in the shooting.
REYES: Okay. What other considerations or, or things are you thinking of, as
he's - - does he, does he go out of your sight?
COSTELLO: He goes out of my sight in front of a vehicle.
REYES: What are you thinking at that time?
COSTELLO: I'm thinking that he may conceal a weapon or is trying to get away
from a crime scene.
REYES: Okay. Approximately how far away are you from him when he makes
the statement, "fuck this" and he starts around the corner behind a car
and goes out of sight?
COSTELLO: I'm probably about twelve feet away.
REYES: Do you have a clear view?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: Did you have any obstruction at all?
COSTELLO: Just the vehicle, when he went around it.
REYES: Did you have your glasses on?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: Okay. Now, he goes around the vehicle, where is Officer Benstead at
that time?
COSTELLO: He's off to my left I believe.
REYES: Go on, what, what occurs from that point on? Whether he's - - go
ahead and explain his actions as well as yours?
COSTELLO: He basically starts to run and take off across the parking toward
Mariscal the street, and I come over - - we both actually start to, to, to
run toward him around the back of the truck, and I could see as he
was starting to take off, something fall out of his waistband and hit the
10
um asphalt and by the sound of it and by the look of it, it was
obviously a handgun.
REYES: Okay. How far was he away from you at that point?
COSTELLO: I was probably another twelve feet because we were both - - I was
closing the distance as he, as he was starting to run.
REYES: Okay. Now, where was Officer Benstead at that point?
COSTELLO: To my left, again, as he had been the whole time. As I started to run,
he ran with me right just to my left.
REYES: Okay. So, you believe there was a gun that fell down?
COSTELLO: Absolutely.
REYES: Did you actually see it or was it based on the sound?
COSTELLO: I saw it, I saw it to be a silver handgun and I could hear the weight of
it as it hit.
REYES: Okay. Now, when the handgun falls and you see it, are you still about
twelve feet away?
COSTELLO: Approximately.
REYES: Okay. Still have the clear view?
COSTELLO: Very clear view.
REYES: Okay. What happens from that point? Are you giving any other
commands?
COSTELLO: I, I screamed for him to "stop police". I told him to stop, he, he, he
immediately, once the gun hit the ground he stopped and his feet slid
across the asphalt and he changed direction and started running back
toward the handgun, which was just a few feet away from him.
REYES: Okay. As this is occurring, do you give any other commands?
COSTELLO: I scream for him to stop and not touch the - - I don't know if I, I can't
ii
remember if I said don't touch it, I said - - I screamed for him to
%%stop police, stop police".
REYES: Approximately how many times have you - - you yelled out that
command?
COSTELLO: Probably five or six times, seven times.
REYES: Okay, uh - -
COSTELLO: And at that time I drew, I drew my weapon on him.
REYES: Okay. Um, is Officer Benstead giving any commands that you can
recall at all?
COSTELLO: No, I can't recall.
REYES: Okay. Um, is Officer Benstead still by your side?
COSTELLO: He's off to my left, a little - - yeah a little bit in front to my left.
REYES: Okay. So you drew, you drew your handgun, you give him these
verbal commands, is he still - - what is he doing at that point?
COSTELLO: He started to run back and he lunged down and picked up the
handgun with his right hand.
REYES: Okay. As he picks up the handgun with his right hand, how far away
are you at that point?
COSTELLO: At that point I was probably about maybe six feet.
REYES: Okay. Anymore commands being given?
COSTELLO: I, I yelled for him to drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun.
REYES: So, you're continuously saying drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the
gun?
COSTELLO: Screaming it as loud as I could.
REYES: Do you have both hands on your gun?
COSTELLO: I do have both hands on my gun.
12
REYES: And you have your gun pointed at him?
COSTELLO: Yes, I do.
REYES: And you're approximately how far away?
COSTELLO: Probably six to, six to seven feet.
REYES: Was there anything obstructing his view or your view from him - -from
each other?
COSTELLO: Nothing.
REYES: What happens from - - at that point?
COSTELLO: Um, Benstead had, had gotten closer to him and grabbed onto him,
tried to, tried to grab him by the shoulder and waist and got kind of
thrown off him. Then he continued to run and he was trying to get in
between those two vehicles that he was running back to that he had
already come, gone by, he was running back towards the vehicles - -
REYES: Okay. Hang on. Now, let me go back. He reached down to pick up the
gun. Had he picked up the gun?
COSTELLO: Yes. It was in his right hand.
REYES: Okay, so the hand, the handgun in his, in his right hand now, and then
Officer Benstead goes up to him and makes physical contact with him?
COSTELLO: Physical contact.
REYES: As the guy has the gun in his hand?
COSTELLO: Yeah.
REYES: What type of contact does Officer Benstead have with him?
COSTELLO: He tries to grab him just as he was - - right after he had picked up the
gun, so he was still coming up and Officer Benstead grabbed onto his
shoulder and it looked like he just kind of elbowed him and flung him
off him.
13
REYES: Well, who flung who off?
COSTELLO: Um, looked like the subject had flung um, Officer Benstead off him.
REYES: Okay. So, you actually observed Officer Benstead disengage from the
subject?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: Does he still have the gun in his hand?
COSTELLO: Yes. He does.
REYES: Okay. Explain his, the, the subject's actions from that point on?
COSTELLO: He took about three or four steps, and was heading in between two
vehicles and he looked back at me and his - -as he was trying to get
through these two vehicle, his right hand came out, outstretched and I
could see the barrel of the, of the silver handgun in his right hand.
REYES: Okay. So is he running away from you?
COSTELLO: He's running away towards the vehicles.
REYES: Okay. And his, you say his - - which hand is outstretched with - -
COSTELLO: His right hand.
REYES: His right hand. Um, how far are you away at that point?
COSTELLO: By now, probably about maybe twelve feet.
REYES: Okay. Explain what happens at that point? What' what, what is, what
is going through your mind at that point?
COSTELLO: I thought for sure he was going to shoot me and I thought uh, he was
going to shoot my partner. I thought because he, he aimed that gun
at me and, and it actually bypassed me at one point and was heading
toward Officer Benstead.
REYES: Okay. Now, as the gun is coming up, explain what is going on with the
subject as far as his movement?
14
COSTELLO: His, his upper torso had turned toward me and I could see the barrel
of the gun. And as the barrel of the gun, it seemed like it crossed me
and then it was coming back and that's when I, I fired at him.
REYES: Okay. So, in your, it's your belief that the gun came up in his hand,
crossed your path and actually went towards Officer Benstead?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: And, you had not fired yet?
COSTELLO: No.
REYES: And, you say the gun - -what happened with the gun at that point, did
it start coming back toward you?

COSTELLO: That's when I fired.
REYES: Okay. How many, how many rounds did you fire?
COSTELLO: I believe I fired two rounds.
REYES: Okay. Prior to firing those two rounds, did you give any verbal
commands?
COSTELLO: I continued to scream, "drop the gun".
REYES: Okay. I know how much, how difficult it is cuz when your focus - -
(inaudible) you're focusing on your actions, could you tell if Officer
Benstead's making any statements at all?
COSTELLO: I couldn't.
REYES: Okay. So, you fired - - now, when you, you say you think you fired
two rounds, in firing those two rounds, do you think they were back to
back, or do you believe that you fired a round, delayed and then fired
another one? Explain what you recall?
15
COSTELLO: I shot - - um, I believe I fired two rounds back to back.
REYES: Okay. Now, when you fired the two rounds, explain your observations
at that point, of the subject?
COSTELLO: Right as I fired the second round, um, I felt - - I saw him fall forward
and I, and I saw him fall in between both cars and I heard, I heard the
gun hit the ground. I could hear how loud it was. I ran around the
front of the car to get better position as I, I kept my weapon at low
ready and I could see the gun about maybe six or seven inches away
from his head. And he, he was laying on his back with his hands up.
And I just told him not to move, don't move, don't touch the gun,
don't move.
REYES: How far away were you when you gave him those commands?
COSTELLO: Uh, ten feet, twelve feet.
REYES: What, what, what is he doing in terms of - -
COSTELLO: He's got his hands in the air and he started apologizing. "I'm sorry, I'm
sorry" um, he said, "I'm sorry, can you get my mom" um, "this hurts"
I told him that we were calling for medical aid and, and they would be
here as soon as they could.
REYES: Okay. Do you still have your gun drawn?
COSTELLO: Yes.

until additional officers arrived?

point?
COSTELLO: It was about six to eight inches away from his head and, and aiming
away from him.
REYES: What other type of commands, or do you continue saying similar
commands?
COSTELLO: I continue to tell him, I continue tell him just keep your hands up,
don't touch the gun, medical aid's coming, they'll be here in just a
minute, just relax. And then he, he, he basically complied. He
apologized and had his hand, hands in the air, both of them.
REYES: At any time did he attempt to um, get that gun again?
COSTELLO: No, he didn't.
REYES: Okay. Explain what happens when you say Officer Araiza arrives?
COSTELLO: Officer Araiza arrived and basically came in to, to make sure he didn't
grab the gun. He kicked the gun away um, under the car that was
parked right there, and then he placed the subject in handcuffs.

COSTELLO: No. I didn't reload.
REYES: At any time did you pull your magazine out of your gun?

REYES: Did Officer Benstead fire at all?
COSTELLO: I didn't hear him fire.
REYES: Are you not sure?
MA
COSTELLO: I, I, I mean, I, I don't remember him firing and I don't think he fired.
REYES: Okay. Now after the subject's placed in handcuffs, who summons for
medical aid?
COSTELLO: I summoned for medical aid.
REYES: Okay. Um, was - - at what point do you call for medical aid?
COSTELLO: Um, shortly after he was shot.
REYES: So, in between the time he was shot and before Officer Araiza - -
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: - - arrives?
COSTELLO: Yeah, to the best of my ability.
REYES: Okay. Then Officer Araiza arrives, places the subject in handcuffs,
what happens from that point on?
COSTELLO: Um, people just came out of the wood work and started walking
around checking everything and I basically went under the vehicle and,
and retrieved the handgun and secured it.
REYES: Okay. So you picked up the gun then - - when you say secured, what
did you do?
COSTELLO: I just held onto it and um gave it to Sergeant Abshire.
REYES: Okay. Did you do uh anything with the gun in terms of drop the
magazine or check and see if it was loaded? You just took the gun as
it was and you handed it to Sergeant Abshire?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: What, what other actions did you do?
COSTELLO: I, I stood by until - - when the other officers arrived, several other
officers arrived um, and I stood by with uh Sergeant Abshire as um he
was being treated by medical personnel and then um Officer Villegas
uh, I left with him. He transported me to the station.
REYES: Okay. While uh, from that point on, what do you mean transported to
the station and uh, did you change any of your gear at all? Whether it
be handgun, magazines, bullets or anything?
COSTELLO: No, I didn't change anything of my gear.
REYES: Now. The handgun you had on your person, is that the, the, the

REYES: Is that the one that you qualify on our PD range with?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: The ammunition you have in your handgun as well as your magazines,
is that the department issued - -
COSTELLO: Yes it is.
REYES: - - ammunition? Okay. Now, let's go back to the shooting portion.
You say that at one point it's your belief that the gun passes your path
and heads - - starts towards your partner. Is there a reason why you
didn't fire at that point?
COSTELLO: No, there isn't a reason.
REYES: Did you consider or was it too fast, explain (inaudible) - -
COSTELLO: It happened, it happened very quickly and when it, when it passed my
path, it wasn't by much more than six inches when it passed me and
that's when it was coming back that I, I fired two rounds.
REYES: Okay.
COSTELLO: Cuz I didn't - - I wasn't sure originally if he was trying to get away
running, but when he looked back and the handgun came up and it
crossed my path, I thought I was going to get shot.
19
REYES: Okay. Now, you fired to rounds, is there, is there any reason - - can
you explain to me, did you see the impact of your two rounds or, or
what occurred when you fired those two rounds?
COSTELLO: I saw one of the, one of the rounds um, strike him and that threw him
forward. He fell forward and immediately the gun dropped and hit the
gun. I could hear it hit the ground and he fell.
REYES: Okay. Um, is there is a reason why you only fired two rounds?
COSTELLO: I, after the second round, I saw him fall, I didn't feel there was
anymore threat.
REYES: So, you believe after your second round it was affective?
COSTELLO: Yes, I did.
REYES: And, and okay, you, you stated that you believed he wasn't of any
more threat? Just let me just go back here for a little bit. Um, so I
understand this correctly, he, you hear a gun and actually see a gun
drop from this person?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: And you're giving him commands? You're in full duty uniform, you
have your gun drawn, and he goes back and he picks up the gun?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: And while picking up the gun and the gun in his, is in his hand, Officer
Benstead tries to go hands-on with the suspect?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: With the gun - - while the suspect has the gun in his hand? And he - -
you say he does some type of shoulder move where he flings Officer
Benstead off his person?
COSTELLO: Yes. His right elbow.
20
REYES: Okay. Is there anything else that you believe um, I want to, I want to
get your mind set, anything else that as you're going through this
event, one would be responding to the call, during this incident or
immediately after as far as what you're thinking that, that you need,
that you feel you need to explain, that has not been explained thus far.
COSTELLO: No. Just when we got the call I realized how close we were and I just
felt there's a, there's a good chance that somebody could be involved
in a shooting outside that complex, so that's, that's one of the things
that was going through my mind.
REYES: You said you were about a block away?
COSTELLO: Yeah.
REYES: Did you, did you hear any gunshots at all?
COSTELLO: No.
REYES: Throughout the call for service upon arrival, did you hear any other
gunshots?
COSTELLO: No, I didn't hear any gunshots.
REYES: Do, did the subject uh fire any rounds off at anytime during this
incident?
COSTELLO: I don't believe - -
REYES: During your contact with him?
COSTELLO: I don't believe he did.
REYES: Okay. Let me just um, take a break for about a minute or two and I
will be right back. It is about um, fifteen minutes to midnight. We'll
stop the tape right now. (Clicking sound) We're going back on tape.
It's uh, about twelve minutes to midnight. I think I have a couple
more clarifying questions I need to ask you. Um, I'm going to go back
zi
to the area of um when he had the gun in his hand. Specifically when
he picked up the gun and you made mention that it crossed your path
and went towards your partner, let's go back, how far, how far were
you away roughly from him at that point?
COSTELLO: I was probably maybe twelve feet I think roughly.
REYES: Was there anything obstructing your view between you and him at that
point?
COSTELLO: No. Nothing.
REYES: Okay. When he has his gun, in his right hand correct?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: And he's coming across your path heading towards your partner, what
part of your body, if at all, do you believe the gun crossed your path?
COSTELLO: My lower, my lower body. Lower uh, mid -section and it was sideways.
REYES: Okay, if you - - stand up and go ahead and explain. Where, what part
of your body do you believe?
COSTELLO: Right across here, by my waist line.
REYES: Okay. How was he holding the gun?
COSTELLO: It was sideways.
REYES: Was the gun, explain, if you can - -
COSTELLO: Well in his right hand that it was like this. It was sideways and I could
see the, I could see the barrel and that's what, that's what caught me,
I couldn't believe he was aiming a gun at me.
REYES: So, he had it sideways? Was his arm extended?
COSTELLO: It was like partially extended, but it was moving sideways.
REYES: And, what part of your, your body do you believe it crossed?
COSTELLO: Like my lower mid -section.
22
REYES: Okay.
COSTELLO: Stomach area.
REYES: Now, um, going back to your initial response when you get there and
these subject are pointing um at this specific uh subject, I think I
asked you, were they making any type of comments at all?
COSTELLO: I couldn't tell, because I just wanted to focus on that individual,
because I could tell, that they were, they were pointing at him as if
they didn't want to be known that they were pointing at him.
REYES: Okay. Okay.
COSTELLO: Because he was looking away from them.
REYES: Okay. Now, at one point he makes a statement, what was it, "fuck
this"?
COSTELLO: "Fuck this".
REYES: "Fuck this" and then he turns and goes away?
COSTELLO: He turns away and he starts to walk around from the car and then gets
into a run.
REYES: Okay, just prior to him making this statement, you're giving him verbal
commands, correct?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: What type of verbal commands were you giving him?
COSTELLO: I told him I was the police. I told him to come here and then I told him
to sit down when he started to walk away.
REYES: Okay. In your opinion, when you're giving these verbal commands, do
you believe he can understand you?
COSTELLO: Yes, I do believe he could understand me.
REYES: And what do you base that on?
23
COSTELLO: Basically the fact that he looked at me, looked away and it was
obvious that he could tell I was a Police Officer and then he started to
take off. I heard him say "fuck this" so that was, that was in pretty
legible English. And so I, I had no (inaudible) - -
REYES: And the statement of "fuck this" was um fairly close to you, giving him
verbal commands, such as it was a response to one of your verb,
verbal commands?
COSTELLO: That's what I felt it was.
REYES: Okay. Now, throughout the time after um he's shot and he's sit - -
laying on the ground and you're giving him commands, um, at gun
point, he's making statements, correct?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: And go over those statements he's making again.
COSTELLO: He basically apologized. He said he was sorry, "I'm sorry. This hurts"
uh, "Can you get my mom? Can you get my mom? Can you have my
mom come over here? This really hurts. Oh, shit" and he was moving
back and forth and he had his hands up and I just kept telling him
don't touch the gun, don't touch the gun, we've got medical aid
coming. They're going to come and take of you. Just relax. Don't touch
the gun. And he just said, "alright, alright, I'm sorry".
REYES: Okay. When he's making all these statements, what language is he
saying this in?
COSTELLO: In English.
REYES: Is it, is it, what, is it clear or broken English?
COSTELLO: It's perfectly clear English.
REYES: Okay. Now, to get an understanding whether he's understanding you
24
or not, is the dialogue similar to the way me and you are talking now,
where, I, I would say something and you would respond?
COSTELLO: Yes. - -
REYES: - - he was making statements and then, he would wait for you to stop
and then he would start saying stuff, how - -
COSTELLO: No, we were talking. We had a dialogue. We were talking. I was talking
to him, telling him to relax, don't touch the gun, medical aid's coming
and he's apologizing to me saying okay, okay, this hurts, can you get
my mom, can you get my mom - -
REYES: So, he's responding to your - -
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: - - and to your directions?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: Okay. Now, did you work yesterday?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: What shift did you work?
COSTELLO: Swing Shift.
REYES: Regular scheduled uh shift?
COSTELLO: Four -thirty to two -thirty.
REYES: Did you get off on time?
COSTELLO: uh, yes.
REYES: Roughly what time uh did you get to sleep?
COSTELLO: I got to be about three o'clock.
REYES: Roughly how many hours do you think you slept?
COSTELLO: I slept about seven hours.
REYES: Is that normal for you?
25
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: Do you feel that you were uh well rested - -
COSTELLO: Oh absolutely - -
REYES: - - for today's shift?
COSTELLO: Yes.
REYES: Okay. I don't have any further questions. Um, anything else?
KRAUSE: No, I don't.
REYES: Okay. Do you have anything else to add?
COSTELLO: Just about, I, I was scared to death. I was scared that this guy was
going to shoot me. He was pointing a gun at me and I thought he was
going to shoot me and I thought he was going to shoot my partner.
And I was, I was scared to death for my life.
REYES: Okay. Did you want to ask him any questions?
KRAUSE: No.

BUCKLIN:
Yeah. It's just that I've been there less than a year and I don't
remember it.
BUCKLIN:
This is a cell phone here?
Yes.
BUCKLIN:
No home phone?
-
No.
BUCKLIN:
Um... what time were you home?
_
I got here, probably about... about four o'clock. Five o'clock,
I guess. Somewhere around there.
BUCKLIN:
Some time between four and five? Did you happen to look at the
clock during that time?
-
No. No. We were sitting out here, eating... it must have been... it
would have to be, probably what... about six o'clock, maybe? But
I'm guessing because I don't exactly know when they... I don't
remember when that... I didn't look at the time when I heard the
shots.
BUCKLIN:
Were you on the balcony?
Yes. It sounded like firecrackers to us.
BUCKLIN:
How many did you hear?
Two. And they were, like, right behind me, like bang -bang.
BUCKLIN:
And did you see anyone?
-
No.
BUCKLIN:
Did you hear anything, other than that?
-
Nope.
BUCKLIN: People yelling? Talking?
- Nope.
BUCKLIN: You didn't hear... you just heard the boom -boom and that was the
end?
- Well, no. I heard people yelling and some talking... after the shots.
But I... it just sounded to me like a party. You know, like, okay,
they're just having a party; there's firecrackers, you know.
BUCKLIN: Could you tell what was being said?
_ Nope.
BUCKLIN: You heard yelling and...?
- I heard yelling... screaming... then after that, a little bit later, I heard
the... the ambulance and the police and fire trucks.
BUCKLIN: Sirens?
- Yeah. And that's when I said oh, it had to have been a shooting.
BUCKLIN: You couldn't tell what was said?
No.
BUCKLIN: Okay. And you didn't look out here and see...
- And I didn't look out. I didn't look out.
BUCKLIN: Okay.
- At that time, I just wasn't interested. You know what I mean? I
wasn't interested. I said, okay... you know.
BUCKLIN: Could you tell if it was a male or a female screaming? Do you
know?
- It sounds like a (unintelligible, wind interference).
BUCKLIN: More than one?
- Oh, yeah. It was more than one voice. I could hear more than one
voice. It was at least about three or four different voices.
GUARINO: You got another one?
BUCKLIN: So that was it. That's all?
Yeah, that's it.
BUCKLIN: Okay.
And I didn't look out... I didn't even look out across the balcony until
I saw the police come, and then I saw the ambulance come, and
then I said oh, no.
BUCKLIN: So you have no idea...

CASE SUMMARY
Responded to shots Fred call. Suspect Robles ignored commands by police to stop. He ran, dropped a handgun and picked it up and pointed it at police.
NARRATIVE
Source:
On 052907 at 1937hrs., I was on routine police patrol in a marked PSPD unit with trainee
Ofcr. Benstead. We were dispatched to a shots fired call at = Mariscal. Dispatch advised
that the rlp was in unit�nd believed that the shots may have come from unit #E
Dispatch advised that a male and female live in unit a We responded from the 400 blk. of
W. Via Escuela and arrived within a minute. Based on the fact that I was responding from
around the corner, I felt that the suspect from the shooting may possibly still be at the
scene.
Officer statement:
I parked east of the Middress and Ofcr. Benstead and I approached the complex on
foot. As we were walking toward the parking area in front of the complex, I could hear loud
talking or yelling. As we walked into the parking lot in front of the complex, I could see two
men standing on either side of a vehicle that was parked behind another vehicle. One of
the subjects appeared to be a Hispanic male wearing a white T-shirt and the other subject
appeared to be a white male wearing a black T-shirt. As we were walking toward the
subjects, I noticed several males standing directly in front of the complex. As soon as I
looked at the males, they all simultaneously started pointing toward the Hispanic male with
their index fingers and giving head gestures, leading me to believe that the Hispanic male
was possibly involved in the shots fired.
As we approached the subject from a distance, the Hispanic male looked directly at Ofcr.
Benstead and I and quickly looked away as if he was very surprised to see us. I identified
myself as the police and asked for the subject to stop. The subject looked back at us and I
could hear him say, Fuck this. He immediately started to quickly walk around the front of
the vehicle and he started running south west through the parking lot. I yelled Stop police
several times as the subject picked up speed. Fearing that this subject may have just been
involved in a shooting, Ofcr. Benstead and I started running west bound through the lot to
cut off the angle. As the subject ran, I noticed something fall from the back waistband of his
pants and as it hit the ground, I could hear the loud sound of metal hitting asphalt. We were

NARRATIVE
about fifteen feet away from the subject and as the item hit the ground, I immediately
recognized it as a stainless steel handgun. The subject was still moving forward as the gun
fell from his waistband, so he tried to stop and slid a few feet forward before changing
direction. He started to run back toward the gun as Ofcr. Benstead moved forward toward
him. I yelled as loud as I could for the subject to stop and I said, Dont touch the gun several
times. The subject looked up toward my direction and continued running toward the
weapon, ignoring my many verbal commands. I could see the subject approach the
handgun and then reach down and pick up the weapon as he was still instride. Ofcr.
Benstead grabbed onto the subject right shoulder of the subject and the subject swung his
shoulder back and forth causing Ofcr. Benstead to lose his grip and fall to the ground.
At this point I drew my handgun and screamed for the subject to drop the gun several
times as he continued to run north east through the parking lot toward the front of the
vehicle he had been standing next to moments earlier. As the subject approached the front
of the vehicle, I could see the handgun grasped in his right hand. As he moved forward, I
continued to scream for him to drop his gun and I could see his right arm move upward and
back. I could see the barrel of the handgun cross in front of my waist and I thought that he
was going to fire his gun at me or Ofcr. Benstead . Fearing for my life and the life of my
partner Officer Benstead and any bystanders, I fired two rounds at the subject and saw at
least one of the rounds strike the subject on the right side. The subject fell forward in
between the two vehicles and dropped the handgun which came to rest about eight to ten
inches from his head. I ran around the back of the vehicle and could see the subject holding
both of his hands in the air as he laid on the ground. I yelled for the subject not to touch the
gun and he did not. The subject said that he was sorry several times and that he was in
pain. He asked me to call his mother and I told him that medical aid was on its way.
I quickly notified dispatch of the shooting and for them to send medical aid in as well as
additional units and supervisors. I did not know if we had any other victims from the original
shots fired call and I was unable to check apartment 0
Ofcr. Araiza arrived and immediately approached the subject. Ofcr. Araiza kicked the
stainless handgun a few feet away from the subject and placed him in handcuffs as medical
aid was en route. I recovered the stainless steel handgun that the subject had pointed at

TYPE OF LOCATION BEAT SECTOR
Apartment/Condo 214
At approximately 1937 hours, while on patrol in a marked police unit (#33) in full duty
uniform with Officer Costello, we were dispatched to =Mirascal in reference to a shots
fired call. We arrived almost immediately.
When we arrived we parked our patrol unit approximately two lots east of M Mirascal.
Officer Costello and I approached the apartment complex on foot. As we were walking west
bound on Mirascal, I heard several people yelling but could not understand what they were
saying. We could not see through the Oleander trees to the front of the apartment complex.
Officer Costello and I ran towards the south parking lot where the yelling seemed to be
coming from. It was our belief that the subjects yelling may have been involved in the shots
fired call. Due to our rapid response and close proximity to the call we believed the call was
still in progress and that the suspect was still armed.
As we approached the parking lot, I saw approximately eight individuals standing to the
north side of the parking lot. Everyone stopped talking as we walked up. A Hispanic male
adult was standing in the center of the parking lot facing away from us, about 15' south of
the group. He was later identified as Roberto Robles. Robles turned around and saw
Officer Costello and I walking towards the parking lot. Robles immediately appeared
panicked at our presence, based upon the expression on his face. He began walking away
from us. Officer Costello and I were both in full duty uniform. Robles had an unobstructed
view of Officer Costello and I. Due to his initial response to seeing Officer Costello and I, 1
believed he was involved in the shots fired call.
Officer Costello told Robles to stop and keep his hands where we could see them. He
ignored his commands, did not comply and continued walking and looking around the area.
It appeared the suspect was looking for an escape route. Officer Costello and I told Robles
to put his hands up and to get onto the ground. He continued to walk away from us, failing
to follow any commands. We repeatedly told Robles to stop, put his hands up, get onto the
ground, and he refused by not complying.

CASE SUMMARY
NARRATIVE
Officer Costello and I continued following Robles west bound through the parking lot. I
approached him from the rear left side as he walked away from us. Officer Costello drew
his duty weapon and continued giving commands to Robles. It was apparent Robles
noticed that I was approaching him because he began walking faster. I reached out to grab
Robles' left arm. I was within one foot of him when I reached out. Before I made physical
contact with him, I saw a silver metal semi -automatic handgun fall out of the area of his right
pant leg. The handgun was silver metal in color, black handgrips and was approximately
eight inches in length. It was my belief that this was an operational firearm based on its
appearance. The gun hit the asphalt surface of the parking lot and made a sound
consistent with metal striking the asphalt.
Using a lesser means of force, I dove towards Robles attempting to push him away from the
gun, so that he could not arm himself and shoot me and/or Officer Costello. At the same
time Robles bent down toward the gun, which was located on the asphalt approximately one
foot from his right foot. It was my belief he was reaching for the gun. I became fearful for
my safety and the safety of Officer Costello. I was unable to restrain Robles because when
I dove toward him, I veered off of his body with mine and landed on the asphalt with my left
side on the ground, causing a Yx4" abrasion to my left forearm. At this time, I was at a
position of disadvantage because I was lying on the ground and Robles remained on his
feet. As I slid on the asphalt, I saw Robles pick up the gun by the grip, with his right hand.
He began to run in a northeast direction as he raised the gun barrel towards Officer
Costello. Officer Costello was standing approximately fifteen feet south of Robles. I was
about 20' feet N1W of Officer Costello.
I believed Robles was going to shoot Officer Costello, so I drew my duty weapon to shoot
him to defend against this attack. As I was drew my duty weapon, I heard two shots coming
from Officer Costello's direction. Robles was still holding the gun in his right hand and
pointing it towards Officer Costello. Robles fell to the ground between the front and rear of
two parked vehicles. Robles landed on his stomach with his head towards the east. Officer
Costello and I commanded Robles to put his hands up. He complied, but I could not see

I stood up and Officer Costello and I held Robles at gun point. I saw Robles' gun laying
approximately one foot to the left side of his head. Officer Costello made a radio broadcast
of shots fired and requested additional police officers and a paramedic. Officer Costello
walked towards the east side of the parking lot so that he could see Robles' hands without
obstruction. At this time, I heard Robles saying something similar to "I'm sorry ... It hurts..I'm
done"(not an exact quote). After Officer Costello was on the east side of him, I walked to
Officer Costello's location, continuing to hold Robles at gun point until additional officers
arrived. We did not know if there were additional weapons or suspects involved in the
original call.
While Officer Costello and I were holding Robles at gun point, several people were walking
around the front of the apartment complex trying to see what had happened. Officer
Costello and I told them to stay back from the area several times; they complied.
Additional Officers arrived and Officer Araiza handcuffed Robles without incident. After the
scene was secure, the paramedics arrived and gave medical aid to Robles. He was
transported by ambulance to Desert Regional Medical Center. The additional responding
Officer's contained the crime scene and began interviewing witnesses. I returned to the

CASE SUMMARY
NARRATIVE
DETAILS:
On 5/29/07 1 was in full uniform, driving a marked PSPD patrol unit, performing field
supervisor duties. At about 1935 hrs., I heard a call for service go out over the radio
regarding shots fired behind an apartment unit at Road. Officers Costello and
Araiza were dispatched to handle the call. I radioed that I would be enroute to the call also,
from the area of Indian Canyon Drive and La Plaza.
As I was driving to the location, I heard Officer Costello arrive on scene. A minute or two
later, he radioed that there were shots fired and to expedite backup units. He then
requested medical aid to the scene for a suspect who had been shot. I arrived at the scene
at about 1941 hrs. I saw Officer Costello's unit parked along the east curb of Monte Vista,
just north of Mariscal Road. I parked my unit just south of his. I then ran to 366 Mariscal Rd.,
where I saw Officer Costello and his trainee, Officer Benstead standing with their guns
drawn, giving commands to "stay down". Both officers were standing in the southeast
parking lot of the apartment complex. They were facing in a northwesterly direction, pointing
their guns at a male suspect who was down on the ground.
The suspect was lying on his back, just in front of a white mini pickup truck that was parked
facing south in the parking lot. The suspect's head was facing in a southeasterly direction
and he was about 15-20 feet away from the officers. I saw a light colored gun on the
asphalt, only a few inches away from the suspect's right hand. The gun appeared to be a
gray semiautomatic pistol. Shortly after I arrived on scene, Officers Araiza, Dougherty and
Villegas arrived, along with his trainee, Officer Cremeans.
Officer Costello was giving repeated commands to the suspect, telling him not to move and
to stay down. Dispatch confirmed that medical was enroute and I requested that they come
right to the scene. Due to the very close proximity of the suspect to the gun, Officer Araiza
decided to handcuff the suspect. As he was about to do so, a female came running up the
scene, saying something about the suspect being her boyfriend. I ordered her to stay out of

the scene, but she kept running towards us. At this point, Officer Araiza kicked the gun away
from the suspect's hand. It slid across the asphalt in a northerly direction and rested
between two other parked vehicles, north of the white pickup.
Fearing that the female was going to endanger officers or damage evidence by entering the
crime scene, Officer Araiza went to her and took her to the ground with an arm bar type
takedown. After he placed her in handcuffs, he returned to the suspect who was still lying
down on his back. Officer Araiza asked him to roll over, but the suspect said that he could
not. Officer Araiza pulled the suspect away from the pickup truck, rolled him to his stomach,
and handcuffed him. Once the suspect was turned over, I could see that he was bleeding
from a wound somewhere on his side.
While the suspect was being handcuffed, Officer Costello picked up the gun and carried is
to a safer location, away from the suspect. He was holding the gun by the barrel. I asked
Officer Costello if he had cleared the gun and he said that he had not. I then took the gun
from Officer Costello in order to clear it. I handled it with my thumb and forefinger, touching
only the sides of the rubber grips. I determined that gun appeared to be a small caliber
semiautomatic pistol, the same one I saw laying near the suspect on initial arrival at the
scene. I noticed that there was a magazine in the weapon. I pulled back on the slide and
one round ejected from the weapon. I then pulled the magazine out of the weapon and
again, I pulled the slide back. Another round ejected from the weapon. I then set the gun,
two rounds and the magazine on the ground, at the southern edge of the parking lot.
Without losing sight of the gun, I ordered Officer Benstead to stand by it and preserve it as
evidence.
After I cleared the weapon, I obtained a safety statement from Officer Costello. He told me
that he believed he had fired two rounds. He thought that he hit the suspect in the hip. He
stated that his rounds were fired in a northwesterly direction and he did not believe anyone
else was hit by his rounds. He said there were no other suspects outstanding. He told me
that the suspect did not fire his weapon.

A short while later, Palm Springs Fire personnel, as well as AMR personnel arrived and

shooting call. I also checked the area down range of where the shooting occurred, but I did
not locate anyone else who had been shot. Officers located two shell casings in the street,
near the gutter, a few feet southeast of the rear of the white pickup. We also found what
appeared to be a bullet hole in the back of a blue Chevrolet Suburban which was parked
west of the shooting location.
I directed Officer Campbell to start a crime scene log and to start securing the scene with
crime scene tape. I sent Officer Costello back to the station and assigned Officer Villegas to
tend to his needs. I noticed that Officer Benstead had an abrasion on his left elbow. I had
Officer Araiza take photos of his injuries as well as other areas of the crime scene and the
victim. I sent Officer Benstead back to the station with Officer Dougherty. Officer Cremeans
remained with the suspect's gun until he was relieved by Officer Campbell. I requested
CAPS detectives as well as the Officer Involved Shooting Team. When they arrived,
briefed them about the incident and walked them through the crime scene.
Officer Williams advised that he had located the apartment where the shots were possibly
fired. The address was Road, = He conducted a safety sweep of the
apartment and remained at the apartment while detectives applied for a search warrant. I
directed Officers Bucklin and Guarino to check for any possible witnesses in the

On 05/29/07, at approximately 1937 hours, I was dispatched to to assist
Officer Costello with a call regarding the report of "Shots fired". The reporting party was
calli unite and advised that he heard three shots coming from the rear, possibly
unit
Officer Costello arrived to the scene a little more than 30 seconds after he had been
dispatched. Shortly after advising he was on scene Officer Costello advised that there were
shots fired and he needed responding units to expedite, followed by a request for medical
aid.
I arrived to the scene, just after Officer Dougherty and Sgt Abshire. Sgt Abshire asked
Officer Costello where he was from his patrol unit, which was parked on Mira Vista, ust
north of Mariscal Road. Officer Costello responded by stating he was across from
(Mariscal). Given the odd numbered address I began looking to the south side of the street
as I looked for Officer Costello. As I continued west down Mariscal Road, I noticed a
uniformed Officer out of the corner of my right eye, which is when I realized that it was
Officer Costello, who was on the north side of the street. I stopped my unit and got out and
began walking towards Officer Costello, who was accompanied by Officer Benstead.

CASE SUMMARY
NARRATIVE
Both Officers were on the east side of the parking lot for the apartment complex of -
Mariscal Road and had their guns drawn. As I approached the parking lot I could see a
subject on lying on the ground on his back. The subject was in between two vehicles that
were parked one behind the other. The subject was saying, "I can't feel my legs", as I got
closer I noticed a silver semi -automatic pistol on the ground near his right hand. I
approached the suspect, who was later identified as Robert Robles, and kicked the gun
away from him his reach. I was preparing to handcuff Robles just as a distraught female that
was running towards us from the west side of the parking lot began yelling, "That's my
husband, why did you shoot him?" I yelled at the female to stay back, the female stopped
yelling but continued walking towards the suspect and I. The female was about to walk in
between the two vehicle where the suspect was laying. The female failed to follow my lawful
orders and delayed me in the performance of my duties. I positioned myself in between the
suspect and the female and grabbed her by the left arm and took her down to the ground,
after which she was handcuffed.
Officer Dougherty and Sgt Abshire had arrived to the scene and maintained cover on
Robert. I walked back around the rear side of the parked vehicles and approached Robert
from the east side. Robert stated that he was unable to move or roll over, I grabbed Robles
by the left hand and drug him out from in between the two vehicles, rolled him over and
handcuffed him, after which he was searched. Officer Judd and his trainee Officer Campbell
arrived to the scene, at which time I requested they place the female arrestee, identified as
Aimie Robles, in the rear seat of their unit.
Sgt Abshire spoke with Officer Costello and confirmed that he had fired two rounds from his
service weapon. When the medics arrived to the scene and began treating Robert I began
taking digital photo's of Robert as well as the scene. As Robert was being treated they were
able to account for a wound along the right side of his back. I checked the area and was
eventually able to locate a bullet hole in a vehicle that was parked just west of where Robert
had fallen. The vehicle was a blue Chevy sport utility vehicle, bearing C

NARRATIVE
After the scene was stabilized I walked over to Officer Judd's unit and began to tell Aimie
why she had been detained. While explaining the circumstances to Aimie she stated, "I
know because I didn't listen to you". Aimie then asked me, "Why did you shoot my
husband". I explained to Aimie that I had arrived to the scene just after Robert had been
shot and we were still investigating what had happened. I told Aimie that a witness saw
Robert drop a gun. Aimie spontaneously stated, "That gun he has is mine". I read Aimie her
Miranda Rights (2005 hours) and explained to her that she had been detained for
obstructing an officer. Aimie stated that she understood her right's after which I asked her
the caliber of the gun and she stated it was a .22 caliber.
I asked Aimie what she was doing prior to the incident and she stated she was out jogging.
Aimie claimed that she had just left the house, ran to the end of the street (Via Norte) made
a right and ran to the next street (Via Escuela) and made another right. Aimie stated that
she saw police cars with lights and sirens turn headed towards the area of her apartment. I
asked Aimie if at any point she heard any gun shots and she stated she did not. I told Aimie
that there were reports of gunshots from her apartment and she stated that she fired the gun
twice out of her window. I asked, "You shot it twice out of your window? Why?" Aimie stated,
"Just for fun, you know like popping fireworks on the fourth of July". I asked Aimie, "Haven't
you heard the public service announcements on the Fourth of July and New Years on how
dangerous that is?" Aimie stated, "No, but I saw it on that movie Once Upon a Time in
Mexico, I figured that was just the movies". I asked Aimie if the shotgun was fired inside the
residence, Aimie stated "Not today". I asked Aimie if she had fired the shotgun in the
residence in the past and she stated she had not. I asked Aimie if she had ever fired the
shotgun out her window like she did with the pistol and she stated she has in the past.
Based on my observations and the information that Aimie provided, she was charged with
PC 148(a)(1) - Obstructing an Officer and PC 246.3 Negligent discharge of a firearm. The
photographs taken were placed into evidence.

On 05/29/07 at about 2106 hours, I was instructed by Sgt. Abshire to assist in conducting a
door to door witness interview in the Mlock of Mariscal Road. Officer Bucklin and I
began contacting witnesses south of Mariscal, which is the neighborhood area of the
OIS.
I contacted who lives at Illariscal Road. She said at about "7:30PM",
she was outside of her residence on the patio with her Herd
walked north down the sidewalk to the trash dumpster, and she remained outside on
her patio. A couple of minutes later, she heard "three shots" north of her location towards
Mariscal Road. She thought the shots were "fireworks". She thought maybe the shots were
from kids playing outside on the street. A couple minutes later, her walked
back to her residence, and he told her he heard the shots also. About ten minutes later,
(2040), walked back out north towards Mariscal Road to check the mail. At this
time, she heard "two more shots". These two shots were "louder", and a short time later she
heard sirens coming which ended up being an ambulance. The second set of shots that
were heard were in quick succession, right after each other. She did not hear any
screaming or yelling and did not witness this shooting occur.
I contacted who was visiting Mariscal Road.
At about 1930 or slightly before, he walked from residence and walked to the
trash dumpsters located north of = Mariscal, and south/east of 366 Mariscal Road. As he
was emptying the trash, he heard "2-3 shots", which at first he thought was kids playing with
fire works. After he heard those loud "bangs", he walked back to esidence at
Mariscal Road. About "l0 minutes later", he walked away from unit, and
walked north again via the sidewalk back to the front of the complex to check the mail. At

lot where the shooting occurred.
Sgt. Abshire stated he obtained a safety statement from Officer Costello who acknowledged
firing his service weapon two times from the street in a N direction towards Robles who
possessed a handgun while positioned in the parking lot of the noted complex. Abshire
informed me he located two expended shells from a 9mm positioned on the street just S of
the noted parking lot which he believed were fired from Costello's service weapon. Sgt.
Abshire also identified an indention to the tailgate of a vehicle which was parked in the
noted parking which he believed occurred as a result of a round striking the vehicle. This
vehicle was parked in the immediate vicinity of where Officer Costello fired his service
weapon and where Robles was struck.
Sgt. Abshire advised that a safety sweep was also conducted on unimto search for any
potential victims and/or suspects after it was verified that Robles resided inside this location
at this time. He stated there were no victims and/or additional suspects at this location.

concrete walking providing entry into the central area of the complex. The crime scene
associated with the shooting occurred within the segment of parking spaces located on the
S/E side of the complex.The parking spaces on both segments of parking lots are not
physically numbered nor did they appear to be visibly assigned to tenants at the location.
Therefore, for documentation purposes, the parking space to the W side of the parking lot
located on the E will be designated as space one leading up to space 6 which would be on
the far E side.
Crime scene technician Johnson and I were directed to process the noted crime scenes and
acquire evidence. Officer Desmarias, with the assistance of Officer Bill Judd, obtained a
factual diagram of the location where the shooting occurred via laser mapping. CST
Johnson took digital photographs of both crime scenes and Costello's patrol vehicle.
The patrol vehicle driven by Officer Costello and Officer Benstead was parked on Mira Vista
just S of Mariscal Rd. It appears both Officers were strategic and safety conscious with the
placement of their patrol vehicle and approach to the listed location.
While processing the crime scene associated with the shooting, I observed the handgun
which Robles alleged to have in his possession when shot by Officer Costello. This weapon,
a 22 cal. semi automatic handgun, along with a partially loaded clip containing multiple live
22 cal rounds, and two additional live 22 caliber rounds, were positioned on Mariscal Rd just
S of the parking lot. I directed Johnson to retrieve this weapon and other noted items after
verifying the weapon was clear of any live rounds. These items were located in front of
parking space #4. A severed shirt and pair of pants, in addition to the some socks and a pair
of construction boots, which belonged to Robles, was located in between and to the E of two
vehicles which were parked behind each other in parking space number three(Cal plate of
as positioned in front of Cal plate of NNINW. The articles of clothing were
soiled with blood. All of these items were retrieved by CST Johnson. A pool of blood was
located on the asphalt in the vicinity of where the clothing was located indicative of this
being the location where Robles was shot and/or fell to the ground as a result of being shot

by Officer Costello. Two expended 9mm luger shells were located in the street behind the
vehicle (Cal plate of positioned in the number three space. This type of
ammunition is utilized by Officer Costello while on duty. These items were collected by
Johnson. I observed an indention which consisted of a approx. one inch hole to the metal
tailgate of a vehicle(Cal plate of parked in space number two which appeared to
be caused as a result of being struck by a live round. Trajectory rods were placed in this
hole to acquire the approximate trajectory and location where the round was fired from.
Based on the rod placement, it appears the round was fired possibly from the border of the
street/parking space two location. This distance between these locations was approx. ten
feet. The expended shells were located several feet E of this location. Several remnants of
the bullet fragmentation were located inside the tailgate and removed by Johnson.
Detective Browning acquired a search warrant for unit #twat the noted location. Additionally,
upon being informed that the vehicles parked behind each other in the third parking space
belonged to and/or were driven by Robles and his live-in girlfriend, Aimee Garcia, he
requested and was granted authority to search these vehicles.
Detective Browning and I proceeded to serve the warrant on apt #,which consisted of two
bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. Prior to making entry, we were informed by
another tenant at the location, that the bedroom on the
S/E corner was inhabited by Robles and During the search of this bedroom, A
pump action 20 gauge Winchester shotgun was located underneath a mattress. The
weapon contained an expended shell in the chamber indicative that it was discharged. Two
similar expended shotgun guns were located in the bedroom. Additionally, several live 22
cal. rounds were located in the room which were similar to the live rounds located in the

Winchester 20 gauge shotgun underneath the mattress in Robles' bedroom. The
Winchester was a pump style shotgun with a pistol type handle and did not have a rear butt
stock. In making the shotgun safe I located a spent shotgun shell in the chamber of the
shotgun. The shotgun shell was yellow and matched the two spent shotgun shells we

officer involved shooting and I was being requested to respond to the location of the
shooting. I called Sergeant Reyes and informed him of my estimated time of arrival. I
arrived at the station at approximately 2025 hours. I collected the camera and other
supplies and loaded them into the crime scene vehicle. I left the station at approximately
2035 hours and arrived at=Mariscal Road at approximately 2045 hours.
Upon my arrival I joined a briefing that Sergeant Abshire was conducting with Sergeant
Reyes, Detective Browning and Detective Galvan. Under the direct supervision of Sergeant

Roberto Robles. I left =Mariscal Road at approximately 2058 hours and arrived at the
Emergency Room of Desert Regional Medical Center at approximately 2100 hours. Upon
my arrival at the hospital I met with Officer Hilton, who was standing in the room with
Robles. I collected a gunshot residue kit from Robles at approximately 2120 hours. I also

hours and arrived at the station at approximately 2139 hours. Sergeant Reyes, Officer
Costello, Officer Castillo and I entered the Crime Lab so that Officer Costello and his gear

arrived home at approximately 1900hrs. GARCIA stated that she and ROBLES were in
their bedroom talking about how their day went. GARCIA said she pulled out a .22 caliber
handgun because she wanted to have ROBLES clean it for her. GARCIA stated that the
handgun is silver. She said the gun is hers, but she never had it registered to her. She said
she bought it a couple of years ago off the street for $150.00.
GARCIA said she had the gun for protection because she used to live in Desert Hot Springs
and she said that Desert Hot Springs is a bad city. GARCIA said that prior to giving
ROBLES the handgun, she fired it out the bedroom window. GARCIA stated, "It wasn't the
first time. I didn't think anything of it". GARCIA stated that she fires the gun on 4th of July or
New Year's Eve.
GARCIA said that she fired two to four shots from the window, while standing on her bed.
GARCIA said there is not a screen on the rear window which faces east. GARCIA stated
she doesn't know why she shot the gun out the window. She said that maybe it was
because she hadn't shot it in a while. When I asked GARCIA how she fired the gun out the
window, she raised her arm over her head, demonstrating how she fired the gun into the
sky. I asked GARCIA about the casings for the .22 handgun and she said that she doesn't
know where they flew. No .22 caliber casings were located in the bedroom when Detective
Browning served a Search Warrant on the location.
GARCIA stated that she keeps a full clip in the gun. When I asked GARCIA what a full clip
was, she said twelve bullets. She said she usually keeps the handgun in a dresser drawer,
but sometimes she keeps it between the mattresses. She stated that after she shot the gun,
her mom knocked on the door and asked if she was okay, and she responded, "yeah, I'm
okay". GARCIA stated that after firing the gun, she left the apartment to go jogging. She
said she was down the street when she heard police sirens and saw cops going on her
street.
I asked GARCIA if ROBLES was chasing her and she stated that he wasn't chasing her, he

gave it to him to clean. GARCIA stated that ROBLES may have gone to the truck to get
something and may have taken the gun with him. Garcia said she doesn't know why Robles
went to the truck because the gun cleaner was in the bedroom. I asked GARCIA if
ROBLES usually carries the gun around and she stated that he did not.
I mentioned to GARCIA that other people have seen him with the gun in his waistband and
she denied it. GARCIA stated she doesn't know why ROBLES would have taken the gun
out to the truck. She said they do not have any problems at the apartment complex or with
anyone around there.
I asked GARCIA if they ever owned any other guns and she stated that they did not. I asked
GARCIA about ROBLES' prior arrests for possession of a handgun and she stated that the
police had arrived at his house while he was having a party and because they found guns at
his house he was charged with it. She said he was going to plead not guilty to that charge.
GARCIA said she was at the location at the time ROBLES was arrested on that charge.
I asked GARCIA if she owned any other guns. She said that she has a 20 gauge shotgun.
GARCIA stated that the shotgun is kept in the closet and the last time she saw the shotgun
in the closet was about a week ago. GARCIA stated that she has fired the shotgun out the
bedroom window also, but has not fired the shotgun since New Year's Eve.
GARCIA stated that she last purchased ammunition for the shotgun about a year ago at a
gun shop in Desert Hot Springs. GARCIA stated that a friend gave her a box of shotgun
ammunition also. She said the last time she bought ammunition for the .22 caliber handgun
was about six months ago. She said she bought the ammunition at Walmart or K-mart.

shotgun in the desert.
She said that she has about four to eight shotgun shells on the
stereo in her bedroom.
I asked GARCIA if ROBLES fired the shotgun and she said, "not that I know. Not while I was
there". She said she can't explain why there were shells on the bed. I asked GARCIA if she
would be covering up anything or lying and she wouldn't answer the question, and changed
the subject. GARCIA asked me if the shotgun was fired and she also asked me if there
were shotgun shells on the bed.
GARCIA stated that she and ROBLES have been together for about three years and got
married about a week ago. GARCIA said there are no past incidences of domestic violence
between she and ROBLES. Garcia stated that she does not get along with her mother and
her mother attempted suicide on Saturday, May 26, 2007, by taking an overdose of Vicodin
and Morphine. GARCIA stated that her mother was upset because she got married to
ROBLES.

stated that she was in a car accident in February on Palm Canyon and Gran Via Valmonte
and her face was injured at that time.
I asked GARCIA if she heard gunshots while she was out jogging and she stated that she
did not. I asked GARCIA if there was anything else that she wanted to tell me and she just

While looking around the dirt parking lot located at M W. Mariscal Road, I located a clear
plastic "wad" from a shotgun. A wad is part of the projectile that is fired from the shotgun. I
located the wad near the front of apartment in the dirt lot area. I located a
second wad approximately ten feet from the first wad. I continued to conduct an area check
and I located a third wad near apartmentEin a flowerbed. All of the wads located were in
a position where people either park their vehicles or walk. If someone was walking in the
parking lot at the time the shotgun was fired, they could have easily been injured or killed.
CST Johnson arrived on scene and marked and collected the evidence.
Sgt. Reyes and I contacted ROBLES at Desert Regional Medical Center located at 1150
North Indian Canyon. Sgt. Reyes Mirandized ROBLES at approximately 1435hrs and when
Sgt. Reyes asked ROBLES if he understood his Rights, he stated, "yes sir." ROBLES
invoked his rights and the interview was terminated.

Your affiant received information as follows:
5/29/07 at 1937hrs:
Officer Dave Costello was dispatched to MMariscal Rd. for a report of approximately three
shots fired from the rear of unit AN Upon Officer Costello's arrival he contacted Roberto Robles
in the south parking lot of the complex between two vehicles. Our preliminary investigation
shows that Officer Costello shot at Robles at least twice with at least one bullet striking Robles
after Robles pointed a handgun at him. Officers Araiza and Sgt. Abshire arrived on scene and
subsequently took Robles into custody. Located within one foot of Robles was a semi -automatic
handgun which was loaded with ammunition.
I was notified of the incident at approximately 1942 hours and responded to M Mariscal Rd.
Upon my arrival I spoke with Sgt. Abshire who gave me the above listed information. He further
stated that Officer Williams was in bungalow where he remained after conducting a safety
sweep of the residence for any potential victims and or suspects.
I spoke with Officer Williams who was still in bungalow a Officer Williams told me he arrive
on scene shortly after Robles was taken into custody and was instructed by Officer Beckert to
conduct a safety sweep of Robles' residence, which is bungalow M Officer Williams stated that
he, Officer Dougherty, and Officer B. Judd were escorted to 0 by the owner of
the bungalow, and conducted a safety sweep of #M Officer Williams told me that he heard loud
music coming from a locked bedroom (Robles' bedroom) and forced entry to insure no one was
injured inside. After conducting their protective sweep Officer Williams stood inside the
residence awaiting my arrival.
In looking into Robles' bedroom I could see at least five yellow shotgun shells in plain view,
with at least two laying on top of the bed which appeared to have been fired. I also saw three
small caliber ammunition rounds on an end table located near the entrance of the room. The
ammunition was similar to size and color of those found inside of the handgun in which Robles
was reported to be in possession of.
I then spoke with - in the south parking lot of the complex. old me that she was
inside the kitchen of her residence (which is a two bedroom residence with 1 '/Z bathrooms, a
living room, kitchen and dining area) when she heard what sounded like
Garcia) and Robles wrestling in their bedroom. told me that Garcia and Robles have a
live-in dating relationship with one another. stated she heard Garcia screaming, but she
could not make out what she was screaming and thought that Garcia and Robles were playing
with each other. � then heard what sounded like two loud "bangs" or "thuds" coming from
Robles' room. �efused to state that she heard "gunshots" and insisted that they were loud
bangs. did not hear Garcia screaming after the loud bang noise. I asked -if she or
Robles had any firearms in her residence and she stated yes. mold me that she has a "toy
gun" and that she knows Robles to have a handgun and a short rifle style gun�old me
that the white pick-up truck parked in the south parking lot belonged to Robles'
father however, both Robles and Garcia drive it; and that the maroon
Toyota Supra belonged to Aimie Garcia, however Robles also
drives it.
I will be searching for the following items: All types of firearms, firearm ammunition, articles

associated with firearms to include but not limited to gun holsters, gun magazine clips, etc, and
any documents related to the purchase and or possession of firearms.
Furthermore, my training and experience indicates that persons in control of premises leave
evidence of their identification in areas such as vehicles, storage areas and containers being
searched, including utility company receipts, rent receipts, addressed envelopes and keys.
Based on the aforementioned information and investigation, I believe grounds for the issuance of
a search warrant exist as set forth in Penal Code Section 1524. Therefore, I pray that a Search

SOURCE:
On 05/29/07, at approximately 1937 hours, I was dispatched to 366 Mariscal to assist Officer
Costello with a call regarding the report of "Shots fired". The reporting party was calling from
unit #E and advised that he heard three shots coming from the rear, possibly unit V
M.O./P.O.E.:
Aimie obstructed an officer in the performance of his duties. Aimie fired a semiautomatic
pistol in a negligent manner.
VICTIM STATEMENT:
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WITNESS STATEMENT:
REFER TO OFFICER STATEMENT
OFFICER STATEMENT:
Officer Costello Arrived to the scene a little more than 30 seconds after he had been
dispatched. Shortly after advising he was on scene Officer Costello advised that there were
shots fired and he needed responding units to expedite, followed by a request for medical aid.
I arrived to the scene, just after Officer Dougherty and Sgt Abshire. Sgt Abshire asked Officer
Costello where he was from his patrol unit, which was parked on Mira Vista, just north of
Mariscal Road. Officer Costello responded by stating he was in across from 3■ (Mariscal).
Given the odd numbered address I began looking to the south side of the street as I looked
for Officer Costello. As I continued west down Mariscal Road, noticed a uniformed Officer out
of the corner of my right eye, which is when I realized that it Officer Costello, who was on the
north side of the street. I stopped my unit and got out and began walking towards Officer
Costello, who was accompanied by Officer Benstead.
Both Officers were on the east side of the parking lot for the apartment complex of 366
Mariscal Road and had their guns drawn. As I approached the parking lot I could see a
subject on lying on the ground on his back. The subject was in between two vehicles that

closer I noticed a silver semi -automatic pistol on the ground near his right hand. I approached
the suspect, who was later identified as Robert Robles, and kicked the gun away from him his
reach. I was preparing to handcuff Robles just as a distraught female that was running
towards us from the west side of the parking lot began yelling, "That's my husband, why did
you shoot him?" I yelled at the female to stay back, the female stopped yelling but continued
walking towards the suspect and I. The female was about to walk in between the two vehicle
where the suspect was laying. The female failed to follow my lawful orders and delayed me in
the performance of my duties. I positioned myself in between the suspect and the female and
grabbed her left wrist and I pulled the female down toward the ground. As the female started
to lean forward I rotated her left arm down toward her waist then rotated it towards her back.
locked the her wrist with my left hand and locked her elbow with my right as I pushed her
down toward the ground. Once on the ground the female was handcuffed.
Officer Dougherty and Sgt Abshire had arrived to the scene and maintained cover on Robert.
I walked back around the rear side of the parked vehicles and approached the Robert from
the east side. Robert stated that he was unable to move or roll over, I grabbed Robles by the
left hand and drug him out from in between the two vehicles, rolled him over and handcuffed
him, after which he was searched. Officer Judd and his trainee Officer Campbell arrived to
the scene, at which time I requested they place the female arrestee, identified as Aimie
Robles, in the rear seat of their unit.
Sgt Abshire spoke with Officer Costello and confirmed that he had fired two rounds from his
service weapon. When the medics arrived to the scene and began treating Robert I began
taking digital photo's of Robert as well as the scene. As Robert was being treated they were
able to account for a wound along the right side of his back. I checked the area and was
eventually able to locate a bullet hole in a vehicle that was parked just west of where Robert
had fallen. The vehicle was a blue Chevy sport utility vehicle, bearin
After the scene was stabilized I walked over to Officer Judd's unit and began to tell Aimie why
she had been detained. While explaining the circumstances to Aimie she stated, "I know
because I didn't listen to you". Aimie then asked me, "Why did you shoot my husband". I
explained to Aimie that I had arrived to the scene just after Robert had been shot and we

were still investigating what had happened. I told Aimie that a witness saw Robert drop a gun.
Aimie spontaneously stated, "That gun he has is mine". I read Aimie her Miranda Rights
(2005 hours) and explained to her that she had been detained for obstructing an officer.
Aimie stated that she understood her right's after which I asked her the caliber of the gun and
she stated it was a .22 caliber.
I asked Aimie what she was doing prior to the incident and she stated she was out jogging.
Aimie claimed that she had just left the house, ran to the end of the street (Via Norte) made a
right and ran to the next street (Via Escuela) and made another right. Aimie stated that she
saw police cars with lights and sirens turn headed towards the area of her apartment. I asked
Aimie if at any point she heard any gun shots and she stated she did not. I told Aimie that
there were reports of gunshots from her apartment and she stated that she fired the gun twice
out of her window. I asked, "You shot it twice out of your window? Why?" Aimie stated, "Just
for fun, you know like popping fireworks on the fourth of July". I asked Aimie, "Haven't you
heard the public service announcements on the Fourth of July and New Years on how
dangerous that is?" Aimie stated, "No, but I saw it on that movie Once Upon a Time in
Mexico, I figured that was just the movies". I asked Aimie if the shotgun was fired inside the
residence, Aimie stated "Not today". I asked Aimie if she had fired the shotgun in the
residence in the past and she stated she had not. I asked Aimie if she had ever fired the
shotgun out her window like she did with the pistol and she stated she has in the past.
Based on my observations and the information that Aimie provided, she was charged with PC
148(a)(1) - Obstructing an Officer and PC 246.3 Negligent discharge of a firearm.

NARRATIVE
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
On May 29, 2007, 1 responded to assist in the investigation of an officer involved shooting at
1101W. Mirascal. On May 30, 2007, 1 made contact with GARCIA in the Palm Springs
Police Department Jail where she was in custody with regard to this incident. GARCIA is
the wife of suspect ,Roberto ROBLES, who was involved in the Officer Involved
Shooting(DR# 0705P-6270).
At 0225hrs, I read GARCIA her Miranda Rights from a pre-printed Palm Springs Police
Department Statement of Rights form. GARCIA signed the form, stating that she
understood her Rights. As I read each Right to her, I asked her if she understood them and
she said, "yes".
GARCIA stated that on 5/29/07, she had picked ROBLES up from work and they had just
arrived home at approximately 1900hrs. GARCIA stated that she and ROBLES were in
their bedroom talking about how their day went. GARCIA said she pulled out a .22 caliber
handgun because she wanted to have ROBLES clean it for her. GARCIA stated that the
handgun is silver. She said the gun is hers, but she never had it registered to her. She said
she bought it a couple of years ago off the street for $150.00.
GARCIA said she had the gun for protection because she used to live in Desert Hot Springs
and she said that Desert Hot Springs is a bad city. GARCIA said that prior to giving
ROBLES the handgun, she fired it out the bedroom window. GARCIA stated, "It wasn't the
first time. I didn't think anything of it". GARCIA stated that she fires the gun on 4th of July or
New Year's Eve.
GARCIA said that she fired two to four shots from the window, while standing on her bed.
GARCIA said there is not a screen on the rear window which faces east. GARCIA stated
she doesn't know why she shot the gun out the window. She said that maybe it was
because she hadn't shot it in a while. When I asked GARCIA how she fired the gun out the

window, she raised her arm over her head, demonstrating how she fired the gun into the
sky. I asked GARCIA about the casings for the .22 handgun and she said that she doesn't
know where they flew. No .22 caliber casings were located in the bedroom when Detective
Browning served a Search Warrant on the location.
GARCIA stated that she keeps a full clip in the gun. When I asked GARCIA what a full clip
was, she said twelve bullets. She said she usually keeps the handgun in a dresser drawer,
but sometimes she keeps it between the mattresses. She stated that after she shot the gun,
- knocked on the door and asked if she was okay, and she responded, "yeah, I'm
okay". GARCIA stated that after firing the gun, she left the apartment to go jogging. She
said she was down the street when she heard police sirens and saw cops going on her
street.
I asked GARCIA if ROBLES was chasing her and she stated that he wasn't chasing her, he
wouldn't ever hurt her. GARCIA stated that she knew ROBLES had the gun because she
gave it to him to clean. GARCIA stated that ROBLES may have gone to the truck to get
something and may have taken the gun with him. Garcia said she doesn't know why Robles
went to the truck because the gun cleaner was in the bedroom. I asked GARCIA if
ROBLES usually carries the gun around and she stated that he did not.
I mentioned to GARCIA that other people have seen him with the gun in his waistband and
she denied it. GARCIA stated she doesn't know why ROBLES would have taken the gun
out to the truck. She said they do not have any problems at the apartment complex or with
anyone around there.
I asked GARCIA if they ever owned any other guns and she stated that they did not. I asked
GARCIA about ROBLES' prior arrests for possession of a handgun and she stated that the
police had arrived at his house while he was having a party and because they found guns at
his house he was charged with it. She said he was going to plead not guilty to that charge.
GARCIA said she was at the location at the time ROBLES was arrested on that charge.

I asked GARCIA if she owned any other guns. She said that she has a 20 gauge shotgun.
GARCIA stated that the shotgun is kept in the closet and the last time she saw the shotgun
in the closet was about a week ago. GARCIA stated that she has fired the shotgun out the
bedroom window also, but has not fired the shotgun since New Year's Eve.
GARCIA stated that she last purchased ammunition for the shotgun about a year ago at a
gun shop in Desert Hot Springs. GARCIA stated that a friend gave her a box of shotgun
ammunition also. She said the last time she bought ammunition for the .22 caliber handgun
was about six months ago. She said she bought the ammunition at Walmart or K-mart.
I asked GARCIA if she had fired the shotgun tonight and she stated no. I asked her about
the shotgun shells on the bed in her bedroom. GARCIA stated that she has empty shotgun
shells in her bedroom on the stereo. She had no explanation as to why she had the shotgun
shells, except she stated that they had picked them up the last time she had fired the
shotgun in the desert. She said that she has about four to eight shotgun shells on the
stereo in her bedroom.
I asked GARCIA if ROBLES fired the shotgun and she said, "not that I know. Not while I was
there". She said she can't explain why there were shells on the bed. I asked GARCIA if she
would be covering up anything or lying and she wouldn't answer the question, and changed
the subject. GARCIA asked me if the shotgun was fired and she also asked me if there
were shotgun shells on the bed.
GARCIA stated that she and ROBLES have been together for about three years and got
married about a week ago. GARCIA said there are no past incidences of domestic violence

GARCIA stated that she and ROBLES drink occasionally and smoke marijuana. She
stated that they haven't used speed in about two years. I asked GARCIA about the Police
bringing her home and her face being bruised. GARCIA stated that she was in a car
accident in February on Palm Canyon and Gran Via Valmonte and her face was injured at
that time.
I asked GARCIA if she heard gunshots while she was out jogging and she stated that she
did not. I asked GARCIA if there was anything else that she wanted to tell me and she just
stared at me. I asked GARCIA several times if she had fired the shots. GARCIA stated,
"No, I didn't fire the shots." GARCIA stated that she went out jogging and when she was on
Via Miraleste and Via Escuela when she heard gunshots. GARCIA said she kept jogging
and a short time later she heard sirens. GARCIA said she saw the Police turn onto her
street and she ran back to her apartment.
GARCIA stated that she didn't know why ROBLES pulled out the shotgun. GARCIA said
she did not know why she lied and then she stated that she lied because ROBLES had
been shot. She said she was sorry for lying. GARCIA said that the guns belong to both she
and ROBLES.
GARCIA said that she and ROBLES were getting along fine prior to her leaving to go
jogging. GARCIA stated that ROBLES was tired and his demeanor was fine. She said that
upon coming back to the apartment, she saw that ROBLES had been shot. She said the
Police Officer told her to stay back, but she didn't follow his orders because all she wanted
to do was hug her husband.
I concluded my interview with GARCIA and booked a copy of the interview into evidence.

partment is the far south east apartment. The window M was looking out
of was on the southwest side of the apartment. _ was looking out the east side of the
window. The window has horizontal mini -blinds in it. The window as looking
out is on the southeast side of the apartment. This window has vertical blinds in it.
Garcia failed to follow an order by Officer Araiza to stay back while they made the situation
safe regarding the Officer Involved shooting. Suspect Robles had a handgun and Garcia's
actions put the officer's lives in jeopardy due to the fact they had to stop what they were
doing and detain Garcia. Garcia told Officer Araiza that she had fired the handgun prior to
leaving her residence to go jogging. Garcia also told me that she fired the handgun prior to
leaving her residence to go jogging. Garcia ultimately said she didn't fire the handgun and
she doesn't know what happened. Due to the fact that Garcia delayed Officer Araiza in his
duties and she delayed my investigation into the shooting, I request one charge of
148(a)(1)PC, Delaying a Police Officer in the Course of their Duties. I request the D.A.
review this case and decide what additional charges, if any, should be filed against Garcia.
A copy of my jail interview with Garcia was booked into evidence under report number
0705P-6270. Garcia bailed out of custody and was given a court date of July 7, 2007.
