Arthur Burgos
On August 30, Burgos was working a uniformed assignment, accompanied that day by Gallegos. During the late morning, Burgos received a call to assist Carrillo with a welfare check on Fremont Avenue. When Burgos and Gallegos arrived at the residence, Burgos saw Carrillo at the door of Marquez' apartment, accompanied by several firefighters and paramedics. Burgos and Gallegos approached Carrillo and Carrillo briefed them on the situation. Burgos entered Marquez' bedroom and observed Manukian talking with her. Burgos introduced himself and Gallegos to Marquez and talked with her briefly. Marquez told him that she weighed 80 pounds and had not eaten in the last five days. Burgos left the room to allow Gallegos to talk with Marquez in the presence of Manukian. After a determination that Marquez needed to be hospitalized, Burgos and Carrillo encouraged her to go with them but she refused, claiming she had been sexually assaulted at the hospital on a prior occasion.

Sometime later, Burgos stood at Marquez' front door and watched Carrillo read advisements to Marquez as she lay on her bed. Several firefighters were behind Carrillo in the living room. While Carrillo was reading, he suddenly yelled out, "Gun!" and several personnel ran downstairs and exited the building. Burgos joined Louie and Carrillo at the base of the stairs, where Carrillo stated that Marquez pointed a gun at Carrillo and then at her head. 8
