Jonathan Matias JD De Guzman was a 43-year-old San Diego Police Department officer who was killed on July 28, 2016, while assigned to the Gang Suppression Unit. He and a partner were conducting a subject stop near Acacia Grove Way and 38th Street when they observed two men. The men split; the partner exited the patrol car to question one of them and was shot in the neck. A suspect then fired multiple times at Officer De Guzman, who was still seated in the patrol car. De Guzman was struck five times and died of his wounds.

The suspect, identified as Jesse Michael Gomez, fled but was later found hiding in a nearby ravine and charged with murder, attempted murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The killing had a deep impact on the San Diego community and fellow officers; in July 2018 the Palomar Street Bridge was renamed the Jonathan M. De Guzman Memorial Bridge in his honor.

Does anyone have memories of Officer De Guzman or information about that night to share?
