A Northern California sheriff’s department has released graphic video of a deputy fatally shooting an armed suspect – an illegal immigrant with a long rap sheet and multiple deportations.

Napa County Undersheriff Jon Crawford said Wednesday that the video was captured by the deputy’s body-worn camera Sunday night and appears to show Mexican citizen Javier Hernandez Morales shooting first with a stolen handgun.

It shows deputy Riley Jarecki approaching the driver’s side of a car she deemed suspiciously parked and asking Morales to roll down the window. When he does, he fired at least one shot at Jarecki from a pistol, but missed. Jarecki radios for help, retreats to the red Honda’s passenger sid, and fired at least 15 shots, killing Morales.

Crawford said Morales, 48, had arrest warrant and a loaded .22-caliber rifle in the car. Jarecki was placed on paid leave following the incident.

Morales had been deported three times and arrested and released over Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) objection on several occasions — including cases involving the very department whose officer took him down in the dramatic exchange caught on her body cam.

ICE said Hernandez Morales has been deported three times before 2011 – twice in 2007 and once again in 2010.

Since then, ICE had issued four separate detainers for him related to various arrests including suspicion of driving under the influence, battery on a peace officer and unknown probation violations.

ICE said detainers were issued to Napa County Jail in 2014, 2015 and 2016 while Sonoma County Jail received one in 2016. None of the detainers were honored by jail staff.

“This incident may have been prevented if ICE had been notified about any of the multiple times Hernandez-Morales was released from local custody over the last few years,” immigration officials said. “This is an impactful, scary example of how public safety is affected by laws or policies limiting local law enforcement agencies’ abilities to cooperate with ICE.”

The statement added: “ICE is grateful the deputy involved in this shooting was not harmed during this attack. It’s unfortunate that our law enforcement partners and the community are subjected to dangerous consequences because of inflexible state laws that protect criminal aliens.”

California’s sanctuary law – signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2017 – largely prohibits local enforcement from keeping illegal immigrants in custody at the request of federal immigration officials.

Napa County supervisors told ABC 7, which broke the news, that the county has been following state law since 2017.

“Compliance with state law is what Napa County will, in fact, follow through upon, whether there are changes in the future that change things but as of right now we do need to comply with state law and that is what our policy reflects,” Napa County Supervisor Belia Ramos told ABC 7.
