Grove Street: Fatal Officer Involved Shooting

Los Santos: In the early hours of Thursday, December 09, 2021, at around 03:00 a.m., officers assigned to Mission Row Patrol Division initiated a pursuit on a dirt bike regarding the discharge of a firearm. The pursuit initially started within the Jamestown region of Los Santos with a multitude of resources including an air-ship and LSPD Metropolitan Division responding to the backup request.

During the pursuit, the individual dismounted from the motorcycle and lead officers on a foot pursuit into Davis. The individual led officers onto Grove Street when he brandished a handgun and began firing subsequently injuring the initial unit that gave chase resulting in an officer-involved shooting. The individual continued on foot with further resources from LSPD following the suspect. The individual again turned and discharged the firearm towards the officers. This resulted in a further two wounded officers. The airship guided resources towards the fleeing suspect where again the individual discharged the firearm and injured a fourth officer before being struck by returned fire from LSPD officers.

Los Santos Fire Department was immediately alerted of the multiple casualties to which a number of resources were deployed to the scene. The suspect was declared deceased on scene by Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians. Investigators secured the firearm from the individual and submitted it into evidence for further analysis. The suspect was later identified as a resident of Los Santos, and his identity will not be revealed until the next of kin has been informed.

A total of four LSPD Officers assigned to Mission Row Patrol Division were injured as a direct result of the suspect discharging his firearm towards them. Three Officers were stabilized by Los Santos Fire Department and were transferred to Pillbox Hill Medical Centre for further treatment.

Unfortunately, an officer was declared deceased by on-scene medical responders. The next of kin have been informed and Los Santos Police Department is supporting family and friends during this tragic circumstance.

We regret to announce the death of Los Santos Police Officer Michael Woodrowe.
