Officer Medina and a second officer responded to a disturbance with a weapon (gun) call at an apartment complex. Upon arrival, several males identified the suspect and informed officers he was armed with a gun. The officers gave verbal commands to the suspect to remove his hands from his pockets. The suspect pulled a firearm from his pocket. The officers then gave verbal commands for the suspect to drop the weapon, but he refused and instead raised the gun toward officers. At that time, Officer Medina, fearing for his life and that of his partner, shot and killed the subject.
