OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On May 5, 2024, Stanislaus County Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of a suspicious person trespassing on private property in the 3200 block of East Monte Vista Avenue, just outside Turlock. The individual, identified as 44-year-old Kevin Frey, was reportedly armed with a knife. Deputy Rose located Frey and repeatedly instructed him to drop the weapon. Frey refused, stating he would leave the scene, and moved toward the 3100 block of North Quincy Road. Additional deputies and Turlock Police Department officers arrived, surrounding Frey and continuing negotiations. Frey claimed to have a gun in his backpack and threatened to stab Deputy Rose. After approximately 15 minutes, Frey advanced toward Deputy Rose with the knife, covering 27 feet in 8 seconds. A deputy fired a single shot, striking Frey. Despite commands to drop the knife, Frey remained armed. Officers approached, provided medical aid, and transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A knife was recovered at the scene; no firearm was found in his backpack. Frey had prior arrests and was wanted on felony arson charges for setting his apartment on fire on May 1, 2024.
