On the morning of July 28, 2016, 41-year-old Hispanic man Jorge Moreno-Aguirre was shot and killed by Sparks police after a short pursuit. At about 10:15 a.m. he was sent home from his restaurant job for drinking while at work; within the hour his blood alcohol content would be more than twice the legal limit for driving.

At roughly 10:41 a.m. 911 calls reported a red Jeep Cherokee being driven recklessly and striking parked cars. Officers Shane Minick and Eric DeJesus found Moreno-Aguirre’s parked Jeep, and he fled when they approached. The pursuit ended near 1st Street and Richards Way. As officers exited their patrol car Moreno-Aguirre produced a .357 caliber Ruger Blackhawk revolver; both officers fired and struck him multiple times. A loaded Beretta semi-automatic was later found in his front pants pocket. The Washoe County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds, and the Washoe County District Attorney later determined the officers’ actions were justified.

Does anyone have information about Moreno-Aguirre’s movements that morning or witnessed the pursuit?
