Bodycam footage shows man wanted for arson shot by deputies after he rushed at them with a knife

On Sunday, May 5, 2024, at 3:51 p.m., deputies were dispatched to the 3100 block of N Quincy Road in unincorporated Turlock on the report of a suspicious person. Initial dispatch information said a male adult, later identified as 44-year-old Kevin Frey, had been trespassing and was armed with a Knife. Upon deputies arrival, which included a K-9 unit with the Turlock Police Department, they located Frey. Deputies made several attempts to establish a dialogue, brought in multiple less-than-lethal options, and tried to de-escalate Frey into complying with their instructions. While speaking with the armed suspect, he refused to drop the weapon and charged at deputies. This caused a deputy to use his firearm. Frey was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
