OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 02/24/2025, at approximately 12:41 a.m., a deputy from the Victorville Sheriff's Station responded to a disturbance call at a Chevron gas station at 12905 Hesperia Road. Upon arrival, the deputy encountered Roman Huerta, a local unhoused man who was allegedly under the influence of a controlled substance and causing a disturbance. During the encounter, Huerta pushed the deputy and attempted to run. The deputy escalated to a chase, and a Taser was deployed to subdue Huerta. He was taken into custody but remained combative in the patrol vehicle. He was transported to Victor Valley Global Medical Center for a pre-booking medical evaluation, where he remained uncooperative. Huerta became unresponsive at the hospital and was pronounced dead. An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death.
