The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department released body camera footage Friday of a deputy-involved shooting in Castaic that stemmed from a domestic violence incident.
The shooting occurred on October 11 around 12:05 p.m. in the area of the 28000 block of Sloan Canyon Road, less than a mile west of the 5 Freeway.
Warning: The video above is graphic and may be disturbing to some readers.
Deputies with the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station responded to the area after receiving a 911 call about a domestic disturbance. The caller said he heard a man and a woman arguing inside a car.
The audio from that call was also released Friday and at least two gunshots were heard in the distance.
“Yeah, we’ve got a domestic dispute going on over here off Parker Road in Castaic, just before you get to Sloan Canyon Driver …” the caller said.
At that moment, the caller is interrupted by a gunshot.
“Oh … somebody just shot a 38, I think. Somebody needs to get over here ASAP.”
When responding deputies arrived, the sheriff’s department said 48-year-old Raul Martinez and the woman were standing near the car behind the open driver’s side door.
