A trespassing incident on a Redlands railway turned deadly when a man armed with rocks aggressively approached a deputy, leading to a lethal-force encounter.
A man trespassing on a railway in Redlands was shot and killed after aggressively approaching a deputy armed with rocks on December 16, the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department said. At approximately 7:30 a.m. Monday, December 16, a deputy assigned to the Sheriff’s Transit Operations Division responded to a report of a trespassing at the rail line between Nevada and California streets. The deputy found the suspect, Jefte Vargas Ramirez, 37, on the railroad tracks.
The deputy told Ramirez, a Redlands resident, to get off of the tracks due to the danger of trains traveling the line, but he refused, a sheriff’s statement said. “Vargas Ramirez armed himself with rocks in both hands, approached the deputy in an aggressive manner, and a lethal-force encounter occurred,” the statement said
