About 4:19 p.m., police responded to a domestic violence situation involving an armed man. When officers arrived, they attempted to stop the man who was leaving in a vehicle, and then pursued. After a "slow-speed" pursuit, the man fled on foot into an open field and ran toward the O.C. Fisher Dam spillway. He allegedly shot at pursuing officers, and Roberto Hernandez Jr. was shot and killed.
