Chilling Body-Cam Shows L.A. County Gunfight that Killed Officer, Innocent Father

Police say the 15-minute video shows the gunman firing first and continuing to shoot after hitting Officer Samuel Riveros, who later died at a hospital.

  • On Monday, April 27, The Baldwin Park Police Department released a 15-minute video featuring bodycam footage and 911 audio from a deadly shootout that killed two people nearly a year ago.
  • Eduardo Roberto Medina-Berumen opened fire with a rifle on May 31, 2025, in the 4200 block of Filhurst Avenue, killing Darius Wong and Officer Samuel Riveros while injuring another officer.
  • Baldwin Park Police Chief Robert Lopez stated that Riveros was shot while warning residents to flee, with authorities later recovering 40 to 60 shell casings at the scene.
  • Prosecutors charged Medina-Berumen with two counts of murder, and Judge Mike Camacho ruled earlier this month that sufficient evidence existed for the case to move to trial.
  • Baldwin Park Mayor Alejandra Avila noted the officers 'responded without hesitation,' while The Los Angeles County Sheriff described Riveros as having made the 'ultimate sacrifice' in service.
