Modesto, CA – Detectives investigate a deadly domestic disturbance call that started as reports of shots fired in the 4100 block of Alexandra Court.

The 9-1-1 calls started at about 4 p.m. after an armed suspect, identified as 53-year-old Rick Foreman, forced his way into his estranged wife’s residence while she, and several other family members, were home. Foreman started up the stairs to a room where his estranged wife was hiding when he was confronted by a family member. During a verbal altercation, Foreman fired the gun he was holding. A struggle to subdue Foreman and secure the gun ensued. During the struggle, additional gunshots were fired; however, no one inside the home was struck. As the family member gained control of Foreman, he lost consciousness. Seconds later emergency personnel arrived on scene and began life-saving measures. Their attempts were unsuccessful and Foreman was pronounced deceased.

The investigation is in the early stages and detectives will continue to piece together the events that led them to the residence yesterday. At this time no arrests have been made.
