The following summary details the events leading up to, and including, the officer-involved shooting at N. First Street and Trimble Road in San Jose, CA on February 14, 2019, which led to the death of Mark Morasky. On February 14, 2019, Santa Clara County Sheriff Deputies Rahim Mohamed and Devin Tallerico were on duty. They were both assigned to transit patrol, which included patrolling the light rail stations throughout the County. They were working together and riding in the same vehicle -an unmarked grey Dodge Caravan. They were dressed in plain clothes. The Dodge Caravan was equipped with lights and siren, but did not have a video recording system. Since the deputies were in plain clothes, they were not wearing body worn cameras. At about 5:00 p.m., Deputies Mohamed and Tallerico were patrolling the Ohlone-Chynoweth Light Rail Station when they noticed a GMC Yukon SUV drive into the station and park illegally by occupying two stalls. After observing the GMC SUV for a couple of minutes, the deputies began to approach it. They were displaying their department-issued badges. The GMC SUV quickly drove away when the deputies were feet away from the occupants of the SUV. The driver, later identified as Mark Morasky, drove over the embankment and fled the area. Deputies Mohamed and Tallerico got back into their vehicle and began driving around the area looking for the suspect GMC SUV. They spotted the SUV nearby as it was driving toward the deputies. As the SUV approached the deputies' vehicle, the passenger of the SUV, Joanna Macy-Rodgers, shot at the deputies. The deputies activated their vehicle's lights and siren and began pursuing the SUV. During the initial pursuit, Macy-Rodgers shot at Deputy Mohamed and Deputy Tallerico three more times. The deputies' Dodge Caravan sustained buckshot strike marks on the hood area and the windshield. When Macy-Rodgers shot at the deputies for the fourth time, the SUV was stopped at an elevated position giving Macy-Rodgers the advantage over the deputies. The SUV continued to flee from the deputies. Santa Clara County Sheriff Deputy Kevin Daniel Garcia responded to assist Deputies Mohamed and Tallerico. He saw the suspect GMC SUV on Capitol Expressway. As Deputy Garcia pursued the SUV, he noticed a cloud of smoke in the passenger area of the SUV and heard a loud bang. The sound and the smoke made Deputy Garcia realize that the occupants of the SUV were shooting at him. The SUV continued to flee and drove against traffic onto the southbound HWY 87/Capitol Expressway offramp. The suspect SUV drove northbound on the shoulder of HWY 87 in the opposite direction of traffic and exited at Curtner Avenue. Morasky's unsafe driving endangered the lives and safety of many other drivers during rush hour on a Valentine's Day Thursday. Morasky drove to the Communications Hill area of San Jose, where the suspects abandoned the SUV. Both suspects ran into a high-density residential neighborhood and approached Mitchell Ellerd. Ellerd was employed by UPS and was delivering packages in that neighborhood. Armed with the shotgun, the suspects ordered Ellerd at gunpoint to give them a ride out of the area. He complied and got into his UPS truck. The suspects got into the truck and ordered him to drive away. The kidnapping and carjacking were captured by the San Jose Police Department helicopter's video recording system. San Jose Police Department's air unit became involved in assisting the ground patrol vehicles in their efforts to apprehend the suspects as the SUV was fleeing while driving northbound on HWY 87. As Ellerd began to drive the UPS truck out of the area, sheriff deputies began to pursue the UPS truck with their lights and sirens activated. The pursuit of the UPS truck continued northbound on HWY 87. A sheriff deputy deployed a tire spike strip on HWY 87, and Ellerd intentionally drove over it. The spike strip caused damage to the tires of the truck. Morasky ordered Ellerd to exit HWY 87 at the Skyport Drive exit. He ordered Ellerd to turn right onto Skyport Drive and make a left turn on N. First Street. Morasky ordered Ellerd to stop the truck on N. First Street shortly before Trimble Road. At this point, a standoff ensued between the law enforcement officers and the suspects in the UPS truck, who continued to hold Ellerd hostage. The deputies and officers ordered the suspects to come out of the truck with their hands up. These commands were also given using the public announcement system. During the standoff and around 5:36 p.m., Macy-Rodgers came out of the truck and surrendered to the sheriff deputies. Later, around 6:14 p.m., Morasky released Ellerd, and he exited the UPS truck. Ellerd then met the sheriff deputies. The officers and deputies continued their efforts to have Morasky surrender peacefully, including speaking with Morasky over the phone. Morasky continued to disobey the demands of sheriff deputies to surrender. Instead, he attempted unsuccessfully to drive the UPS truck. In a coordinated effort, sheriff deputies and San Jose police officers approached the UPS truck in two armored vehicles and blocked the truck. Morasky raised his shotgun and pointed it at officers in one of the armored police vehicles. At about 7:00 p.m., Morasky exited the truck while holding the shotgun and ran across the parking lot toward police officers and civilians. Concerned for his safety and the safety of others, San Jose Police Officer Nicholas Bronte discharged his department-issued rifle once, striking Morasky in the chest. Morasky fell to the ground. Other deputies and officers secured Morasky and rendered medical assistance to him. The officers also secured the shotgun that Morasky was carrying. Sheriff Deputy Steven Somerville rendered the shotgun safe. He observed that the shotgun was semi-automatic and that it was loaded. An unspent "00 Buckshot" shell was loaded in the chamber, and two additional similar unspent shells were recovered from the magazine tube. Morasky died as a result of his injuries.
