K9 Donka was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy while attempting to apprehend two California Youth Authority escapees near the intersection of Weber Avenue and Highway 99
Officer and sheriff's deputies had pursued the two in a stolen vehicle until it crashed into a ditch. K9 Donka was released for an apprehension when both subjects fled on foot from the wrecked car. As K9 Donka ran toward the subject he collided with a fence and became disoriented. He turned and began to run toward a San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office deputy, who shot him with a shotgun to protect himself from being bit.
Both subjects were taken into custody.
K9 Donka had served with the Stockton Police Department for 3-1/2 years.
