***WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES AND LANGUAGE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.*** As part of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office’s commitment to transparency, it is our policy to release body-worn camera video of critical incidents, including deputy-involved shootings. We believe it is important for our community to have access to the full context of these incidents, rather than rely on short snippets they may see elsewhere. On May 16, at about 2:20 p.m., the OCSO SWAT team was serving a search warrant in a drug case at 5614 Lejeune Dr. SWAT made entry into the home, and while clearing the home of any danger, encountered a man in a bedroom, reaching behind a door where a rifle was located. One deputy fired his service weapon, striking the man, later identified as 32-year-old Tyrone Bartley. Deputies rendered aid until paramedics arrived and transported Bartley to the hospital, where he died. A couple of weeks earlier, deputies were called to this home for a domestic violence incident. While conducting that investigation, they found a trafficking amount of fentanyl and cocaine and two loaded guns – one of which was stolen. Those items were in plain view, and confiscated, but in furtherance of a drug investigation, deputies secured a search warrant to go back and search the home for drugs, guns, cash and cell phones. These types of warrants are very high risk for our deputies, and this case illustrates that. That’s why the SWAT team conducts these searches. The video is being released pursuant to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Release of Video Recordings in Critical Incidents policy. The investigation into the shooting is still under way.
