OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 11/16/2022, deputies attempted to pull over Aaron Osgood for reckless driving in Modesto late at night. Osgood fled on foot into a business in the 100 block of Empire Avenue, and law enforcement officers established a perimeter around the building. A drone confirmed Osgood was on the roof of the structure, and deputies issued repeated commands for him to surrender. At about 11:15 p.m., Osgood crawled to the edge of the roof and fired multiple shots in the direction of deputies, who took cover and did not return fire. Osgood then fatally shot himself with a firearm while law enforcement was actively engaged in the incident. A vehicle and firearm found at the scene were later determined to be stolen, and records showed Osgood had several felony arrest warrants at the time of the encounter.
