Newly released body worn camera footage released by the Riverside Police Department, shows the moments officers responded to a suspicious vehicle incident, which ultimately ended in an officer involved shooting.
On Sunday, March 7, 2021 shortly before midnight, two Riverside Police Officers were patrolling a business complex, located in the 1700 block of University Avenue in Riverside, when they observed a black vehicle occupied by two men parked in the rear parking lot area. As they approached and were contacting the two men, the driver put the vehicle in reverse, striking both officers. An officer involved shooting then occurred.
The driver stopped then sped the vehicle forward where it collided into a parked car. The passenger immediately surrendered and the driver was taken into custody as assisting officers arrived. The passenger sustained minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The driver sustained gunshot wounds and was also transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
One officer was treated for his injuries at the scene, and the second officer was transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation and treatment.
The driver of the vehicle, later identified as 44-year-old Jason White, was charged with the following: Assault with a deadly weapon against a peace officer, felon in possession of firearms, evading police causing injuries, and hit and run causing injuries.
