Body Camera Footage Released of Sacramento Officers Shooting Suspect

  • Sacramento police released body camera footage on May 25 of officers shooting and wounding suspect Johnny Balcorta near Jibboom Street earlier in May.
  • The shooting followed police responding shortly before noon on May 2 to a domestic violence call involving Balcorta, who had a no-bail warrant for controlled substance possession.
  • After Balcorta fled on foot with what appeared to be a firearm, police established a perimeter, deployed crisis negotiators and a K-9, and repeatedly called for him to surrender peacefully.
  • Police stated two officers fired their weapons after Balcorta refused commands, was seen hitting the K-9, and had a gun in hand; he suffered non-life-threatening injuries before hospital treatment and booking.
  • Two imitation firearms were recovered, the incident remains under investigation, and Balcorta faces multiple charges related to the shooting and prior warrants.
