On June 27, 2025, at approximately 10:55 A.M., California Highway Patrol (CHP)
officers assigned to the CHP Crescent City Area responded to a 911 report of a male subject covered in blood,
on Anchor Way west of US-101. Emergency medical personnel also responded to the scene.
The male
subject was carrying a knife and aggressively approached medical personnel. Medical personnel backed away
from the male subject. One Del Norte Sheriff’s Office (DNSO) deputy and two CHP officers arrived on the
scene and ordered the subject to drop the knife. The male subject was non-responsive to verbal commands.
The subject aggressively approached the deputy and officers. The DNSO deputy deployed his electronic
control device, which proved to be ineffective. The subject continued to aggressively charge at the officers
with a knife, and out of fear for his safety and the safety of others, a CHP officer involved shooting occurred.
The subject was arrested at the scene, and emergency medical aid was rendered. The male subject was
transported to Sutter Coast Hospital and succumbed to his injuries.
No injuries were sustained by CHP officers or Allied Agencies.
The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security.
