Officer-Involved Shootings

2023-02-09: Cantalier Street & Baseball Alley

Summary

On February 8, 2023, a carjacking occurred in the 100 block of Stanford Avenue in north Sacramento. During this incident, the victim stated that a masked suspect forcibly stole their vehicle and fled the area. A crime report was taken following the carjacking and the vehicle’s license plate was entered into a police database.

On February 9, 2023, at approximately 9:42 a.m., a Sacramento Police Department patrol officer located the victim's carjacked vehicle parked near Cantalier Street & Baseball Alley. The officer approached the vehicle and located one individual inside it who was later identified as Clayton Freeman. The officer gave the suspect numerous commands, but the suspect refused to follow them. As the suspect continued to ignore commands, he gained access to the driver side area and started the vehicle. The officer utilized a Conducted Energy Device (Taser) multiple times in an attempt to take him into custody, but it was ineffective.

As this struggle was occurring, a second officer arrived on scene. As the second officer exited his patrol vehicle to assist the first officer, the suspect gained control of the carjacked vehicle and accelerated forward. The suspect drove the vehicle into the second officer and his patrol vehicle.
