Critical Incident Video Released Following Deputy-Involved Shooting in Rancho Mirage
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department released a critical incident video describing the moments leading up to a deputy-involved shooting in Rancho Mirage.
The description of the video reads:
“On August 7, 2020, approximately 2:38 pm, deputies from the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station were dispatched to a suspicious persons call in the 70000 block of Tamarisk Lane in the city of Rancho Mirage. Shortly after receiving the call, a deputy arrived on scene and located a male suspect matching the description given by dispatch. Immediately after making contact with the suspect, the deputy was assaulted and ultimately stabbed. At that time, a deputy involved shooting occurred. Once additional deputies arrived on scene, the injured deputy was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. The deputy is currently in stable condition. The suspect was pronounced deceased on scene. The identity of the suspect will be released by the coroner’s office once positive identification can be established, and next of kin can be notified. The deputy involved will be placed on administrative leave per Department policy. The involved deputy’s name will not be released at this time. Investigators from the Force Investigations Detail (Riverside County District Attorney Investigators and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Central Homicide Unit) responded and assumed the investigation.”

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
