Garden Grove officers not responsible for the custody death of Guadalupe Tinoco

On October 24, 2020, at approximately 3:28 p.m., GGPD received a 911 call for service. Dispatch advised the officers were responding regarding a former tenant, Guadalupe Tinoco, who had returned to the residence, was 415 with the calling party, hitting a neighbor, and the calling party sounded very upset on the call. Dispatch advised the 415 was audible on the call, and the dispatcher could hear someone screaming, “there's a fight in the house, get someone here now.”

The officers approached the open front door to the residence and could hear the occupants yelling out. They approach the door and entered the residence. They saw Tinoco, a 48-year-old woman, lying face down on the entryway floor with R2 lying on top of her and holding her wrists/hands down. R1 was standing on top of Tinco's legs while R3, the homeowner in her 80s, was standing nearby.

All three residents told officers that Tinoco was acting “crazy,” she was “fighting” them, she “broke in” and “wouldn't leave,” was “on something,” and had attacked them. Officer Yniguez described seeing Tinoco moving when he approached her on the ground, however, base on her movements appeared to be involuntary, reflexive, and potentially caused by R2 moving Tinoco's body. Based on BWC, Tinoco appeared to be motionless from the time officers arrived on the scene.

Officer Yniguez directed Tinoco to stay on the ground. R2 moved off of Tinoco and to her side while officers started to place handcuffs on her. Officer moved Tinoco's left arm around her back telling her to “relax” indicating her arms were stiff and involved effort on Yniguez's part to move. The residents relayed Tinoco had been coming to the house “all night” and was attacking them. Officer assisted R2 up off the ground due to R2’s limited mobility from a disability, while Tinoco remained still on the floor.

Officers started to speak with Tinoco but she did not respond. Officer tried to move Tinoco's arm, but she was unresponsive. Officers Yniguez and Ferreira rolled Tinoco to her side and saw her lips were turning blue. Officers quickly realized Tinoco was not breathing. Officer Ferreira checked Tinoco for a pulse. Finding no pulse, officers removed Tinoco's right handcuff and rolled her onto her back. They started chest compressions.

Officer Yniguez paused chest compressions to see if Tinoco had started breathing. Tinoco's condition had not changed, Officer Yniguez resumed chest compressions. Other officers alternated in applying chest compressions to Tinoco until the OCFA arrived on the scene to take.

The residents said that Tinoco said she had taken methamphetamine, heroin, and PCP. Officer Quiroz returned with the Narcan and administered an intranasal dose of Narcan with no effect.

Officer Ferreira took over chest compressions from the officers began asking the residents what happened leading up to the officers' arrival. They relayed, in essence, Tinoco used to live at the residence, was recently kicked out, and had come to the residence approximately three times early that morning causing issues and threatening the residents. Tinoco arrived at the house that afternoon, made her way inside the residence, and was “fighting, kicking, screaming” so the residents detained her by holding her on the floor until police arrived.

OCFA personnel did not see any visual signs of trauma or blood on Tinoco's body. OCFA personnel attached a heart monitor to Tinoco which confirmed she was pulseless. OCFA personnel used an automated chest compression device to provide Tinoco with continual chest compressions at 100 beats per minute. OCFA personnel provided Tinoco oxygen through a Laryngeal airbag valve mask and placed an IV line in Tinoco's right antecubital. OCFA started a Saline drip and administered 8mg of Narcan and three 0.1 MG/ML doses of epinephrine.

OCFA personnel observed no change in Tinoco's condition, and requested permission to make an in-field death pronouncement. However, the request was declined and they were directed to transport Tinoco.

The GGMC medical team said Tinoco was still pulseless and unresponsive. The medical team provided Tinoco with an ampule of sodium bicarbonate, an ampule of calcium chloride, four milligrams of Narcan, half a liter of fluids, and a round of epinephrine. They conducted two rounds of CPR and two pulse checks, Tinoco remained with no pulse.

At 4:20 p.m. one of the doctors at GGMC pronounced Tinoco deceased.
