On Friday, April 12 at 10:07 PM, patrol officers were sent to the 200 block of SE 54th Street in response to reports of gunfire. After their arrival, officers determined that Juan Castorenna-Guerrero, 59, at 243 SE 54th Street may have been the one whom neighbors were reporting as shooting a gun outside. Police report that their officers called for the man to come outside.
According to Capt. Valerie Littlejohn, PIO with OKCPD, when Castorenna-Guerrero came outside he had a gun in his hand. “Officers gave Mr. Castorenna-Guerrero verbal commands to drop the gun. He did not drop the gun, so an officer deployed a 40mm less lethal round toward him,” said the press release from Littlejohn.
Police fired at Castorenna-Guerrero with a 40mm bean bag projectile. In response, he raised the gun and pointed it at police. It was at that point that six officers fired on Castorenna-Guerrero. He retreated into his house.
Eventually, Castorenna-Guerrero came back out without the gun and surrendered. Police then found that after the six officers had fired shots, Castorenna-Guerrero had not been hit. Castorenna-Guerrero was booked close to midnight the same day into the Oklahoma County Jail on a single complaint of Pointing a Firearm.
