On December 15, 2020 at approximately 6:30 PM, a deputy from the Palmdale Station was patrolling near Melville J. Courson Park in the city of Palmdale. The deputy heard several gunshots, and observed a white sedan speeding away from the area. The vehicle was stopped for vehicle code violations and to investigate the possible involvement in the shooting. Assisting deputies discovered a male adult suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg by the park near the 1000 block of East Avenue Q-12.

Several witnesses were located and provided information identifying the occupants in the vehicle as the suspects in the shooting. An OSS Bureau K-9 unit specializing in gun detection responded to the scene, and located the firearm used in the shooting incident.
