Overview
- Deputies conducted a welfare check at the man's home the day before the shooting and decided he did not meet criteria for emergency detention, according to the sheriff's office.
- Court records and an arrest affidavit say officers confronted 38-year-old Danh Thanh Dinh after a neighbor reported him bleeding and trying to enter a house while carrying two knives.
- The affidavit states Deputy Calva fired multiple rounds when Dinh advanced or waved the knives in a threatening manner during the June 23 encounter, and deputies then handcuffed him.
- Dinh was taken to a hospital in critical but stable condition after surgery for gunshot wounds to his abdomen and lower back and has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant with a $200,000 bond.
- All three deputies on the scene, including the 16-year veteran who fired, are on administrative leave while internal and criminal investigations proceed and neighbors press for review of crisis-response procedures.
