Domestic Violence Suspect Shot and Killed by Simi Valley Police After Pursuit
Authorities said shots were fired and a body was found after a pickup truck collided with a police motorcycle.
On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, a 37-year-old man suspected of domestic violence was shot and killed by Simi Valley Police Department officers after a pursuit ended in a crash on Dusan Street.
Police initially responded to the 2500 block of Dusan Street around 8:15 a.m. Tuesday for a reported domestic violence and elder abuse incident, where the suspect allegedly threatened to "shoot it out" with officers.
Officers located the suspect near the Simi Valley Town Center around 1:35 p.m., initiating a pursuit that concluded when the pickup truck struck an unoccupied police motorcycle on Dusan Street, where officers subsequently opened fire.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene, and no officers were injured during the altercation, while the SVPD Professional Standards Bureau is now investigating the shooting with six officers directly involved.
This incident marks the second fatal shooting by SVPD officers in less than a month, following a July 2 domestic violence call on Clover Street where a 46-year-old man attempted to kill his wife.
