Summary
| Description |
English: Hacienda Heights, California — On April 1, 2022, at approximately 4:23 PM, three deputies assigned to Industry Sheriff’s Station responded to an emergent call for service of a possible arson in progress in the 14000 block of Crystal Lantern Drive, in the Unincorporated area of Hacienda Heights. The homeowner indicated her brother, 56-year-old Trinidad Velasco, was inside a blue Ford pickup truck parked in front of her residence and threatened to burn down the house with a bottle of gasoline he had in his possession. The deputies arrived on scene and observed Velasco seated in the driver’s seat of the pickup which was parked on the street in front of the location.
The deputies stopped in front of Velasco’s parked vehicle, exited their patrol vehicles and gave Velasco verbal commands to exit his vehicle. Velasco suddenly accelerated his pickup toward two deputies who quickly ran out of Velasco’s path to avoid being hit. Velasco fled north on Ameluxen Avenue. The deputies re-entered their patrol vehicles and initiated a vehicle pursuit of Velasco. During the pursuit, Velasco made a U-turn and drove directly at a patrol unit. The deputy drove his patrol vehicle into a driveway of a residence to avoid being struck. Velasco continued back to the residence where he parked in the driveway and exited his vehicle. Velasco ran toward a family member and then moved to the driveway while holding a pointed metal object in his right hand. Deputies contacted Velasco and gave him verbal commands to drop the weapon. Velasco began yelling unintelligibly at the deputies while still holding the pointed metal object in his right hand. Deputies gave Velasco verbal commands to drop the weapon, but he refused to comply. A deputy fired a 40mm Arwen rubber projectile striking Velasco’s body, but it had no effect. The deputies continued to give Velasco verbal commands to drop the weapon, but he still refused to comply. The deputy fired a second 40mm Arwen rubber projectile at Velasco, this time striking his left hand, but it also had no effect. Velasco, while still holding the pointed metal object in his right hand, advance toward the deputies and a deputy-involved shooting occurred. Velasco was struck by gunfire and fell to the ground. Deputies approached him and administered first aid. Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics responded and provided medical care. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where he received further medical treatment. There were no other persons injured during this incident. A metal screwdriver, approximately six inches in length, was recovered at the scene. |

Licensing

This work was created by a government unit (including state, county, city, and municipal government agencies) that derives its powers from the laws of the State of California and is subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.). It is a public record that was not created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright, and is therefore in the public domain in the United States.
Records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.) "Public records" include "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics." (Cal. Gov't. Code § 6252(e).) notes that "[a]ll public records are subject to disclosure unless the Public Records Act expressly provides otherwise." County of Santa Clara v. CFAC California Government Code § 6254 lists categories of documents not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. In addition, computer software is not considered a public record, while data and statistics collected (whether collected knowingly or unknowingly) by a government authority whose powers derive from the laws of California are public records (such as license plate reader images) pursuant to EFF & ACLU of Southern California v. Los Angeles Police Department & Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and are not exempt from disclosure and are public records. Although the act only covers “writing,” the Act, pursuant to Government Code § 6252(g), states: “Writing” means any handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored. Agencies permitted to claim copyright
California's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted outside of the United States without clear evidence to the contrary:
County of Santa Clara v. CFAC held that the State of California, or any government entity which derives its power from the State, cannot enforce a copyright in any record subject to the Public Records Act in the absence of another state statute giving it the authority to do so. This applies even if there is a copyright notice, so long as the State of California or one of its agencies (other than those listed above) is indicated as the copyright holder. Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may have to be released by such agency since they are public records, their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to these images unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See: Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?. Copyrightable Works by the State in the United States: Works published by agencies that are permitted to claim copyright per state law should be tagged with {{PD-US-GovEdict}} instead of this template due to the reasons listed on that template.
