Published 2 years ago
The Riverside Police Department released body camera footage from a May 2021 incident, showing the moments a wanted felon drew a firearm on multiple police officers, forcing an officer involved shooting.
On May 8th, 2021, at approximately 8:21 a.m., members of the City of Riverside’s Public Safety Engagement Team (PSET), consisting of Riverside Police, Code Enforcement, and contracted social workers, were in the 3700 block of Elizabeth Street to check on a business area frequented by people experiencing homelessness.
As two police officers assigned to PSET attempted to detain a man at this location, he began walking away. This man then produced a handgun and aimed it toward the officers, prompting an officer involved shooting. He was taken to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.
A handgun was located next to the suspect’s body at the scene. Neither of the officers, their civilian team members, or any bystanders sustained injuries. The suspect was been identified as Felix Jerry Marquez, a 34-year-old transient from Riverside. A records check determined Mr. Marquez had outstanding felony and misdemeanor warrants for his arrest.
