OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On August 8, 2024, an off-duty Beverly Hills police officer became involved in an altercation on Roscoe Boulevard near the 405 Freeway, which resulted in the officer shooting and killing a man later identified as Tomas Ramirez. Police reports suggest that two men were engaged in a fight, one armed with a pipe and the other with a handgun. There is a nearby encampment, and it is believed that the individuals may have been unhoused. The details remain unclear, and there are no eyewitnesses at the scene. Police have not disclosed the identity of the officer involved, and it is uncertain whether the men posed a direct danger to one another or to the officer. The officer’s involvement is under review, as off-duty officers are typically expected to observe and only intervene if there is an immediate threat to life.
