Officer Kerrie Orozco was part of a fugitive task force looking for (gang member) Marcus Wheeler to serve a felony arrest warrant. Wheeler, who was wanted on a warrant charging him in a previous shooting, opened fire on the officers as they approached him. Officers fired back, and Wheeler was later found behind a neighbor's house suffering from gunshot wounds, the chief said.
