Domestic violence suspect fatally shot by Santa Rosa police

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KRON) — A domestic violence suspect was shot and killed by police in Santa Rosa Thursday morning after barricading for several hours overnight, according to authorities.

The Santa Rosa Police Department responded just after 10 p.m. Wednesday to the 900 block of Keegan Drive on the report of an armed man who was involved in domestic violence with an ex-partner. After officers arrived on scene, the suspect, a man whose name has not been released, barricaded himself inside a residence, according to SRPD Lt. Dan Marincik.

“Officers tried for numerous hours to negotiate and communicate with the suspect without any success,” Marincik said.

Residents of Keegan Drive were advised by police to shelter in place at 11:13 p.m. Wednesday.

At 4:55 a.m. Thursday, the man ran out of the house toward officers and was shot by police, according to Sgt. Juan Valencia of the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.

No officers were injured in the incident. Police did not release any information on the victim’s condition.
