Simi Valley Police Fatally Shoot Man After Domestic Incident
22 Jul
Summary
- Police responded to a domestic violence incident, finding the suspect in a vehicle.
- The man led officers on a brief pursuit before being shot in his vehicle.
- This marks the second Simi Valley police shooting in less than a month.
On July 21, Simi Valley police officers fatally shot a man involved in a previous domestic violence incident. The encounter occurred around 1:45 p.m. in a residential neighborhood near Crestview Elementary School.
Officers had initially responded to the same area earlier that morning for a domestic disturbance, but the suspect had already departed. Later, police located the man in a vehicle near the Simi Valley Town Center and attempted a traffic stop, which he evaded before returning to the neighborhood.
Multiple officers discharged their firearms, resulting in the suspect's death at the scene. No officers sustained injuries during the altercation. This event represents the second instance of Simi Valley police discharging their weapons in less than a month.
Previously, on July 2, officers responded to a domestic violence call where a man allegedly attempted to kill his wife. An altercation with a Simi Valley officer at a hospital led to that suspect also being shot.
