During the morning hours of Friday, May 3, 2019, the Oxnard Police Department’s dispatch center received multiple calls from a female reporting a woman with a knife in the area of 1835 San Gorgonio, and then behind the Carl’s Jr. on the 400 block of North Rose Avenue. The female was described as being 18 years in age, wearing a red shirt and blue shorts. During the first call to the dispatch center, it was reported that she “seems disturbed†and that she was walking around and waving a knife. The caller also indicated that the female was possibly armed with a gun. The caller recontacted dispatch three (3) additional times, and during these calls stated that the female was “getting increasingly worse†and that she was screaming and threatening people.
Oxnard Police Officer Timothy Roberts arrived on scene first, and made verbal contact with a female in the dirt field behind the business. The female approached, and then brandished a large kitchen knife (pictured below) at the officer. The officer drew his handgun and made several verbal requests for her to drop the weapon. The female ignored and expressly refused the officer’s requests, and began to advance on him. The officer retreated in an attempt to create space between them. The officer continued to give the female verbal commands to drop the weapon as he retreated backwards through the parking lot. As the second officer arrived on scene and was retrieving a “beanbag†shotgun, the female ran directly towards Officer Roberts with the knife in her hand. Officer Roberts fired his weapon, and the female was struck by gunfire. Officers promptly rendered first aid to her until medical personnel arrived on scene.
The female’s face has been blurred because of her age. Audio that identifies her by name has also been redacted. During the incident, the female brandished a large kitchen knife. During the investigation, detectives determined that the multiple calls made into the Oxnard Police Department’s dispatch center came from the phone that was in the female’s possession. Detectives have also discovered evidence that supports the position that the female deliberately intended to be shot by an officer. At the time of this news release the female is in an area hospital in “critical but stable†condition. A criminal investigation is continuing. Officer Roberts has been employed by the Oxnard Police Department since 2015, and is currently assigned to the Department’s Patrol Division. At the time of this update, he is on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure for officer-involved shootings.

Nothing like the pain, blood and the life coming out of them to make people realize real life is very different than social media. She learned real quick she can't do whatever she wants in reality without consequences.
What happens if I reach for the knife?
Most times police shoot someone, its completely justified…but not this time. Did this cop not have a taser or some mace? He really had no choice but to shoot her right there? Give me a break. I dont understand why some cops are such pussies.
At she said she was sorry.
Getting shot kinda snaps ones mental state into another gear. Luckily, it broke her outta what she was going through before she hurt someone and hopefully she survived with a lesson
stupid. what if 3 year old will run to the cop with a knife he gonna shoot it too ..
After a bullet massage they all become lambs
This one is really sad. Hopefully she gets help.
He didn't try to desesculate n showed no sympathy for the little girl neither.
When they have a knife. Why don’t they just hit them with the patrol car instead.
They see this on TV and try the same.
Excellent work very good ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘
cops really will shoot anyone given the opportunity.
Attempted suicide by cop. I felt bad for the young girl, obviously was in a bad mental state. The officer did EVERYTHING correctly. I felt worse for the officer who HAD to shoot her.
Like a zombie
Good police work
Poor kid. Hope she gets help….
It’s crazy how many people want to get shot by police.
She changed her tune fast.
this is sad. poor girl
These entitled children.. watch too much cnn and mainstream media; black lives matter bs takes them away from reality.
What is my generation
I mean, honestly yes she deserved it but not 3 shots. Could’ve just shot her once in the leg or arm and she would’ve went down. Dora is pretty weak you know😂
POV: your here from TikTok
He just popped her shit
What is ridiculous is that if she was black she would’ve been dead within like the first 30 seconds or less of the video
She just got 200 pumped
Wow… Hope you are really proud shooting at an underrage girl 10 meters away from you barely approaching you, what TUFF guys you are punk police.
Why is she wailing like a baby? She wanted to get shot so badly that she ran toward a cop with a fucking knife 😂
Looks like a date didn't go well
You hate to see this but I mean, idk what she expected
poor kid, hope she's doing better
Dora is in the wrong part of town.
Not a smartest way to test how bullets works.
That one brought me to tears. She was obviously trying to die that day. I feel bad for her and the officer, for forcing him to do that.
Just imagine what she went through just to do that. She practically ruined her live.
Cowardly cop he's a boy
what about a taser???
This was so sad to see, I hope she has a good support group to help her get mentally and emotionally stable. This was definitely a suicide by cop attempt!
Oh shit wassup dora
Works for me!
Learn about the adult life the hard way. Stupid girl, does a very bad decision und realize her mistake after things get broken.
Neverending story with young folks.
Pray she doesn’t die
You could try to talk her down or
Or less lethal
I’m sorry That cop be fucking dead
He wanted to shooter you can hear in his voice
Why you don’t try to talk to kid down man is it a fucking going lethal right away
He was that afraid of a teen girl with a knife? LOL. Wooow, he could have easily wrestled it away from her, and probably outrun her, too. sooo??
He could have the taser in his other hand and shoot the taser first if that will work, some police don’t realize that.
