* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Lancaster, California — On Sunday, June 5, 2022, at approximately 1:40 PM, Lancaster Station deputies responded to a business in the 1800 block of West Avenue J in the city of Lancaster, regarding a suicidal person with a knife. A male called 911 and made suicidal statements. The male was later identified as 51-year-old Ricky Jimenez. Upon arrival, deputies encountered Jimenez holding a knife in his right hand just outside of the location. Deputies ordered him to drop the weapon, but he did not comply. Deputies fired a Taser and a 40MM deuce launcher at Jimenez, but they had minimal effect. Jimenez removed a pistol grip crossbow from his backpack, raised the crossbow in the direction of deputy personnel, and a deputy-involved shooting occurred. Jimenez was struck by gunfire and dropped the crossbow next to him. Deputies approached and rendered medical aid to Jimenez until the arrival of Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics. Jimenez was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. There were no other persons injured during the incident. A knife and pistol grip crossbow were recovered at the scene. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - ’.’ - Connor Davies - Beau Baker - Paul Rohrbaugh - Nash Martin - ’Necko’ - Amber G - JP Stravinski - Gerardo Flores - Richard Vannieuwenhuyse - ’’ - ’DaBlankOne’ - Kevin Waldrep - Rose Keyes - ’Popeyez’ - ’Vulture Customs’ - ’DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse’ - ’Roman1983’ - Kaden - Anthony Eufemio - ’musicaltune23’ - ’Donkbot’ - Gage Kissinger - Yejezkel Lopez - Alex F - Eian Smith - ’HelloDarknessMyOldFriend’ - ’coco Coco’ - Rob Winton - ’The Chocolate Thief’ - ’Jacob from Wisconi’ - ’gorey hole’ - Joe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us on Patreon: Follow us on Twitter:
