Arrested: Castorenna-Guerrero, Juan (H/M, DOB: 9/28/1964)
Narrative: On April 12, 2024, OKCPD officers responded to the 200 block of SE 54th St. in reference to a man outside shooting a gun. When officers arrived, it was determined the man was inside of 243 SE 54th St. Officers were in a position of cover when they called the man out of the residence. The suspect, later identified as Juan Castorenna-Guerrero, exited the residence with a gun in his hand. Officers gave Mr. Castorenna-Guerrero verbal commands to drop the gun. He did not drop the gun, so an officer deployed a 40mm less lethal round toward him. Castorenna-Guerrero then raised his firearm and pointed it at officers. Six officers discharged their firearms toward the suspect. He retreated back into the residence.
After several minutes, Mr. Castorenna-Guerrero exited the residence without the firearm and surrendered to officers. He was not struck by the officers' gunfire. He was arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on four counts of pointing a firearm.
The six involved officers have been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. There were no other injuries reported.
