PRELIMINARY SUMMARY:
On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at about 10:14 p.m., deputies in Chino Hills were dispatched to the 2100 block of Monteverde Drive. The reporting party heard gunshots and heard someone screaming. While deputies were responding, they located the suspect vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed and attempted a traffic stop. The driver failed to yield and led deputies on a short pursuit that ended on Wandering Ridge Drive. When deputies ordered the two occupants out of the vehicle, the passenger complied and was taken into custody; however, the driver did not comply. The driver exited the car, approached the open trunk and shot a firearm into the trunk. A deputy involved shooting occurred and the suspect was struck. Deputies learned an adult male was in the trunk and had been shot by the suspect. Deputies attempted lifesaving measures on both subjects; however, both were pronounced deceased at the scene.
Through investigation, it was determined the victim had been shot and kidnapped at the Monteverde address prior to the pursuit. The passenger was taken into custody and was not injured.
