- Los Santos County - May 8th, 2021; At approximately 3:30 PM Master Deputy Colt Smith and Deputy Sheriff Trainee Mickey King responded to reported gang activity at the Stab City of Blaine County. Upon arriving at the scene, the deputies immediately made contact with a reckless driving Komodo affiliated with the criminal organization 'Irish'. The deputies made an attempt to perform a traffic stop to which the suspects did not initially respond, and a pursuit was called in. Moments into the pursuit, the suspects came to a stop, however, it quickly turned hostile when three suspects from the vehicle rushed out armed with Assault Rifles and opened fire and injuring the two deputies.
The Sheriff's Department's Air Unit was above the situation at the time and followed the suspects who continued fleeing from the scene. The suspects joined up with a fourth individual who after crashing their vehicle, joined the three suspects in the Komoda. At this point, further backup was called to the situation and the scene supervisor, Undersheriff Bobby Kirk, made the decision to contact the Los Santos Police Department to assist as the vehicle was gang affiliated and heavily armed.
A 10-minute high-speed chase ensued into the City of Los Santos throughout populated areas. The suspects showed no empathy to any motorists or pedestrians as they flew past intersections and onto sidewalks. The Police Department eventually made the decision to disable the vehicle with gunfire in a less-populated area, to which the suspects began opening fire back at the Police Department. They were eventually disabled and injured on Orchardvile Avenue.
There were no fatalities in the situation. Four illegal firearms and ammunition were recovered.
