SAPD Homicide Detectives Investigate Man's Death During July 4th Block Party


On 7-4-15, at approximately 9:40 p.m. Officers responded to 2500 Block of North Linwood Avenue to assist OCFA personnel with a male who was unresponsive in the street. Officers arrived to find OCFA personnel performing CPR on a 55 year old male. The male was transported to Western Medical Center-Santa Ana where he was pronounced dead.
