Overview

• District Attorney Clint Curry determined the officers acted in self-defense and announced no charges at the press conference.
• Investigators said Rick David Oliver fired a single round that struck Officer Osmar Rodarte in the right hip, severing a critical artery and causing his death within minutes.
• Autopsy findings showed Oliver was hit in vital areas and had a methamphetamine level of 5,000 ng/ml, which officials said can correlate with violent or irrational behavior at high doses.
• The officers fired 10 rounds in total, with six from Sgt. Trumm and four from Rodarte, after encountering Oliver concealed behind stacked storage bins.
• The DA released body-camera video and investigative evidence and said he hopes the findings provide closure for Rodarte’s family following the multi-county raid across Yuba, Sutter, Tehama and Butte counties.
