 Figure 3. The scissors located by Carrillo when clearing the apartment.

Sergeant Spencer Louie
Louie arrived at the location and was told by Carrillo that Marquez had not eaten in five days, appeared extremely malnourished, and was living in "hoarding" conditions. During their initial conversation, Marquez told Carrillo she had prior suicidal ideations. After learning that Marquez refused to go to the hospital voluntarily, Louie approved a WIC 5150 hold.

Louie and SPFD firefighters followed Carrillo up a staircase that led to Marquez' unit. Louie watched from the front doorway as Carrillo stood at the open bedroom door and read a form to Marquez. A short time later, Carrillo yelled, "Gun!" and several personnel exited the apartment and descended the stairs. Carrillo stopped at the front doorway and yelled to Marquez, "Drop the gun!" before retreating to the lower level. Carrillo advised Louie that Marquez had produced a pair of scissors, and then retrieved a gun from the top of her bed and pointed it at him. From the bottom of the stairs, Carrillo gave repeated commands for Marquez to drop the gun and come outside.

A short time later, Perez entered the building and took Louie's position, and Louie went outside. From the front yard, Louie heard several gunshots inside the apartment building and saw Perez, Carrillo, and Burgos exit. One or more officers were yelling, "Drop the gun!" 6
