Sparks, Nevada — On May 4, 2020, shortly before 8:00 pm, 36-year-old Ronal Adalberto Zendejas (hereinafter “Zendejasâ€) entered the office of Motel 6, located at 2405 Victorian Avenue in Sparks, Nevada, and rented a room for one night. For unknown reasons, his demeanor was rude and aggressive, and the front desk manager recognized that he was drunk. After renting the room, he punched the plexiglass separating the lobby and employee areas, and then punched the office window as he left. Shortly thereafter, Zendejas returned to the office and was angrier than he was before, but then left again. Just minutes later, Zendejas followed the general manager into the office, this time armed with a running chainsaw. The general manager retreated behind the counter, and Zendejas used the chainsaw to cut through the swinging half-door which separates the lobby and employee areas. The front desk manager took cover in the employee bathroom, while the general manager went into his apartment, which was connected to the office. Zendejas, who was still armed with the chainsaw, then entered the employee area.
Zendejas ultimately left the office and went to room number 102, which was next to the office. He contacted the occupant of that room, and swung the chainsaw towards him, causing the occupant to take evasive measures. During this dangerous interaction, Zendejas cut the door and door handle to room number 102. As these attacks were taking place, two calls were placed to 911 at approximately 8:08 pm, and Sparks Police Department (hereinafter “SPDâ€) officers responded, with Officers Thomas Radley (hereinafter “Officer Radleyâ€) and Adrian Berumen (hereinafter “Officer Berumenâ€) being the first two to arrive. Once these officers arrived, people on-scene pointed to Zendejas, who was then sitting in his blue Honda Accord parked in the Motel 6 parking lot. The officers, who were dressed in full police uniforms, approached Zendejas, verbally identified themselves as police, and ordered him to stop and show his hands. Zendejas ignored their commands and rapidly reversed, and then drove out of the parking lot at a high rate of speed.
As he fled, Zendejas drove across all travel lanes of Victorian Avenue, over a curb, struck a metal street sign, and stopped on landscaping rocks. Officers Radley and Berumen chased after Zendejas, and Officer Berumen repeated his commands to stop the car, but Zendejas again refused to comply. Instead, Zendejas reversed his vehicle, dragging the street sign with it, struck Officer Berumen’s patrol vehicle, and crashed rear-end into the wall of a nearby car wash. Officers Radley and Berumen, recognizing the serious threat Zendejas presented to them and the public, continued to chase after Zendejas. As they got closer, Officer Radley again ordered Zendejas to show his hands and stop, but Zendejas began driving away from the car wash at a high rate of speed. Officer Radley, followed by Officer Berumen, responded by firing their duty handguns towards Zendejas. As the gunfire subsided, Zendejas’ vehicle drove into a parking lot next to a smog shop and crashed front-end into a wall. Additional officers arrived, approached the vehicle, and removed Zendejas from the driver’s seat. Zendejas did not survive the incident, and a subsequent autopsy found the cause of his death to be multiple gunshot wounds.

So the moral of this video, don't bring a chainsaw to a gun fight?
“He’s not going anywhere†is bodycam language for “BOOM HEADSHOTâ€
That was a bad shoot, period!
Excellent job by the dispatcher!!! Got a ton of info for the safety of the officers!!
Chainsaw man is real😂💀
Why police shot to him. He has no gun.
It was painful listening to a thousand questions from the 911 dispatcher 😑😑
Sad, literally anything including a pistol in personal defense could have immediately stopped the threat if necessary…
The cop wasn't in imminent danger. I guess he has an itchy trigger finger…
another mexican, go figure.
7:34 who's shots were these?
Pissed off landscaper
Always some hag screaming "stop, stop" as they are putting the idiot out of his misery.
Arizona looking a lot like Mexico… I wonder why that is…
Two minutes in and already the dispatcher is aggravating me.
Time to ban assault chainsaws
The office clock must be in the future
What baffles me is people call 911, and then completely lose their mind. They cannot function. Cannot talk. Cannot listen. Don't remember anything. Don't know who they are, where they are, or what they're calling about. Zero awareness in life, basically a blimp. Bloop. Gone.
Illegal alien
The call-out from dispatch, "he's deceased" 🥳ðŸ†ðŸ‘Š
Dispatcher: Can you describe the suspect?
Caller: yes, he’s the one with the farking CHAiNSAW!!!!!
Ten bucks says he was here illegally.
He definitely had it coming
You know the old saying. 'Never bring a chainsaw to a gun fight.'
2011: Gerald Butler: Machine Gun Preacher
2020: Ronal Adalberto Zendajas: Chainsaw Preacher
We need to close the Southern border.
Millions more like this crossing the border every day
Wasted
Illegal aliens obviously.
Cant imagine what PD would need with a 3/4 ton dodge diesel. Seems like a gross misuse of taxpayer money. That trucks easily $65-70k.
Another idiot 911 operator
See ya scum.
What STUPID QUESTIONS CAN YOU ASK FOR 911 , HE’s GOT THE CHAIR SAW !
beans and N's ruined this country
RIP to the 2003 Sapphire Blue Pearl Honda Accord.
Fkn dispatchers and their questions. How tf is this guy supposed to know if he's got a mental illness or on drugs. A visual description?!? 'Ma'am, you can't miss him, he's the one wearing a F*cking chainsaw!!!!'
When you call 911, don’t get annoyed by the questions.
I'm usually with the cops in these. But I don't really like this one. This cop was way off to the side. His life wasn't in danger yet. The guy didn't hurt anyone up to this point, you gotta try and run him down and capture him first b4 killing him
Nice work by all the officers…this perp was on path to self destruction…
This dispatcher needs retraining. The man, I RAN AWAY. Is he drunk or on drugs? What’s his blood alcohol level? Is he mentally ill? Well…… he is going wild with a chainsaw. He might be unstable. Well what’s his credit score? Think he’ll leave a yelp review? Wreckless to send rounds down range after the first officer shot. Although I couldn’t tell the backdrop
Straight up scarface edition with the chain saw.
Dispatch: Does he look like he has a mental illness or anything?
He has to have mental illnesses to do such things
I’d be feeling so impatient with that dispatcher. She did her job but something about her voice and tone wasn’t very reassuring
