During the month of November, 2020, the Oxnard Police Department Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) began an investigation into narcotics activity occurring at a residence located in the 1200 block of Devonshire Road. During the investigation, detectives identified the resident, Octavio Perez, after patrol officers responded to an overdose investigation inside of the residence on November 17, 2020. During this incident, Perez was contacted by patrol officers inside of the residence while he was in possession of a firearm. Perez threatened to shoot police officers while Oxnard Fire Personnel were attempting to revive the fifty year old victim. The victim ultimately was pronounced deceased at the scene and Perez was not apprehended. During the investigation, two additional overdoses occurred at the residence and the victims were revived with Narcan.

CNT officers attempted to negotiate with Perez, however, Perez refused to cooperate. SWAT officers put chemical irritants inside of the residence in an attempt to gain compliance. After approximately ten minutes of the irritants being placed inside of the residence, five subjects including Perez, exited the residence. Perez became non-compliant and K9 Rocky apprehended Perez. As K9 Rocky was apprehending Perez, an imitation firearm fell from his person onto the pavement. The four other subjects were taken into custody without further incident.
