On 8-12-2020 at 2122 hours, officers dispatched to the report of a shooting at 4th South/Edgar Martinez South and located a man who lives in his vehicle. The suspect, who also lives in a vehicle, had errands to run and asked him (the victim) to watch his car. A short while later, known associates of the suspect arrived at the suspect’s vehicle. The victim did not confront them since he assumed it was ok. Suspect returned and was angered that the victim hadn’t safeguarded his car. The suspect then produced a pellet gun and shot the victim in the abdomen. When the victim ran off, the suspect took the victim’s unguarded vehicle and chased the victim with his own car. The victim had a minor pellet wound to left abdomen that was not life-threatening.

On 8-12-2020 at 2030 hours, officers began monitoring a crowd gathered at Cal Anderson Park who advertised themselves as the “Every Night Direct Demonstration”. The group numbered 40-50, left the park and marched briefly around the Broadway area. At one point, an officer reported a green laser being shined at them through their windshield but were unable to identify the suspect. The group eventually made their way back into Cal Anderson Park. A group of 3-5 began hanging out on the sidewalk on the southeast corner of 11 AV and E Olive St. Private security responded into the area to move the subjects away from the building the protesters were in front of. This appeared to anger the rest of the crowd and officers had to respond to conduct crowd control and ask the security to leave in order to de-escalate the situation. During this, a task force officer attempted an arrest where a female interfered, resulting in the arresting officer injuring his knee and needing transport to a local hospital. The original suspect was able to escape but the female involved was arrested and another suspect was arrested for disarming a separate uniformed officer of his long baton. Both of those arrests were documented under 2020-238585. The demonstration itself was documented under 2020-238455.
