Knife-wielding man suspected of tire slashings in Calimesa dies after deputy-involved shooting

A man suspected of slashing tires outside a Calimesa business died from his injuries on Tuesday, Jan 11, after a sheriff’s deputy shot the knife-wielding suspect, authorities said.

Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Cabazon Station were called to a business in the 1000 block of Cherry Valley Boulevard about 9:09 a.m. Tuesday for a report that a man armed with a knife had slashed the tires of at least two customers’ vehicles, a sheriff’s news release said.

Upon arriving to the scene, deputies located the man on the Eastbound 10 Freeway onramp at Cherry Valley Boulevard.

Deputies attempted to disarm the man using less-lethal munitions and a taser but were not successful, authorities said. When the man continued to make advances toward a deputy with the knife, the deputy shot the suspect, the department said.

The deputy attempted to provide aid to the suspect until paramedics arrived.

The man was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. His identity was not immediately released, pending next of kin notification. No deputies were injured.

The deputy involved in the shooting will be placed on paid administrative leave per department policy. The name of the deputy was not released by authorities.
