Officer Douglas Ortiz-Jusino died while attempting to arrest a gunman on the Cupey Neighborhood in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The officer, who was off-duty, was working in a Chinese restaurant as a security guard at the intersection of PR-8838 and Ana G. Mendez Avenue (PR-176) in Cupey when he was notified by one of the employees of a person carrying a firearm. Officer Ortiz-Jusino, with another officer who was on duty, told the suspect to stop, but he fled the scene. After a brief foot chase the man shot Officer Ortiz-Jusino, fatally wounding him.
Officer Douglas Ortiz-Jusino served with the Puerto Rico Police Department, and was assigned to Precinct 182 East Hato Rey.
