A man was shot and killed by deputies after allegedly raising a gun during a traffic stop in San Marcos on Wednesday, the San Diego Police Department said. The shooting happened after a San Diego County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop on a red Hyundai Sonata shortly after 9 p.m. in t he 600 block of North Twin Oaks Valley Road. San Diego police, which is investigating the shooting due to a countywide memorandum of understanding that prevents law enforcement agencies from investigating its own use-of-force cases, say a 21-year-old woman was driving the car and a 33-year-old man was in the passenger seat. According to investigators, the deputy learned after a record check that the vehicle’s license plate and VIN were “inconsistent” with what DMV had on file. The steering column of the vehicle also appeared damaged, which suggested the vehicle may have been stolen, SDPD reported. After additional deputies arrived at the scene to assist, the front passenger rolled up his window and ignored commands to keep it down, police said. The passenger then reached toward the floorboard and armed himself with a semiautomatic handgun, according to SDPD investigators. Deputies removed the driver from the vehicle after repeated commands to the passenger to drop the weapon, officials said. He continued to ignore commands and began to raise the firearm as deputies positioned themselves around the car. Five deputies and one Palomar College Police officer discharged their weapons, striking the passenger, according to the department. Deputies removed the passenger from the vehicle and attempted lifesaving measures to no avail. The victim, deputies, officer and driver have not yet been identified, and the SDPD was investigating. Authorities urged anyone with information regarding the shooting to call the SDPD’s Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580- 8477. This is a developing story and will be updated with more details as they arrive. The San Diego Police Department took over the investigation of the shooting. The SDPD investigates shootings involving personnel with the SDSO under terms of a countywide agreement designed to prevent conflicts of interest.
