The suspect, 35-year-old Magdiel Sanchez, was shot and killed by a police officer outside his parents’ home after he approached officers while armed with a pipe. His neighbors said Sanchez was Deaf and nonverbal.

“He had this in his right hand and was holding it up,” Capt. Bo Mathews said.

Sanchez’s father left the scene of a crash and drove to the home, police said. When officers arrived, Sanchez confronted the officers.

“As Mr. Sanchez came off the porch, he started advancing to the second officer,” Mathews said. “As he started going toward these officers with a pipe in his hand, the officers discharged their weapons.”

One officer fired a stun gun while the other used his gun, hitting and killing Sanchez.

Cellphone video from a neighbor shows the moments directly after Sanchez was shot and officers rendered aid. Neighbor Julio Rayos said he screamed at officers that Sanchez was Deaf and believed he might have been confused.

“They killed an innocent man,” Rayos said. “He was never aggressive to nobody. He was a real nice guy. I don’t think he deserved to die like that.”

The officer who used the gun is now on paid administrative leave. The district attorney will determine if the shooting was justified.
