Officer Osmar Rodarte, a 27-year-old Hispanic male and two-year member of the Marysville Police Department, was killed on March 26, 2025, while serving a search warrant on Kestrel Court in Olivehurst, California. The entry was part of a multi-agency operation executing 20 search warrants across Yuba, Sutter, Tehama and Butte counties targeting a transnational drug trafficking ring. Rodarte was struck, taken to Adventist Health and Rideout Hospital in Marysville and later died of his wounds.

The suspect was also shot and pronounced dead at the scene. Rodarte, a U.S. Army veteran, is survived by his wife and child; the department reported this as the first line-of-duty death for Marysville PD in over a century and flags at the State Capitol were flown at half-staff.

Does anyone have information about the operation or the residence on Kestrel Court that could help clarify what happened that morning?
