Officer Sergio Carrera, 29, of the Rialto Police Department was killed on October 18, 2007, during a narcotics raid at a duplex on Cascade Street in Rialto, California. Carrera was part of a six-man SWAT team executing a search warrant with officers from Rialto and Colton and agents from the U.S. DEA and ATF. He was shot in the upper body while struggling with a suspect inside one of the targeted homes and died during surgery at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton.

The suspect in the shooting was identified as Jaranard Thomas, who had been wanted in Mississippi for cocaine distribution and was arrested after the raid. Carrera had served with the Rialto department for four years and left a wife and two young children.
