DUNNIGAN — Bodycam video was released Wednesday of a deadly officer-involved shooting in Yolo County from February.

It happened on February 14 in Dunnigan, which is in northern Yolo County off Interstate 5.

A West Sacramento SWAT team served a search warrant in a child molestation case. The suspect, Hector Perez, barricaded himself inside.

After four hours of trying to get him out, investigators say he came out with a knife. That is when West Sacramento police say two of their officers fired at Perez—one with a less lethal round, then another with a bullet.

Perez died on the scene.

The Davis Police Department is partnered with the Yolo County District Attorney's Office to investigate the shooting.
