Body-worn camera footage released by the Irvine Police Department Tuesday shows the gruesome moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a man stabbing his mother to death in front of her home last month.

After a neighbor on the quiet residential street of Green Tree Lane heard the victim, now identified as 72-year-old Parvin Montazer, screaming outside her home on Aug. 8, they called 911.

“He’s like a 35-year-old man, and he’s in the street chasing his mom with a knife,” the caller is heard telling Irvine PD dispatch. “One of the neighbors tried to intervene, but he chased her with the knife.”

When police arrived at the scene just before 3 p.m., the footage clearly shows the suspect, now identified as 37-year-old Paul Montazer, struggling with his mother in the driveway of the home, a knife in his gloved right hand.

In the video, Sgt. Leticia Hernandez said that responding officers observed the man “actively and repeatedly stabbing a female in the head and neck.”

Two officers, one armed with a handgun and another with a rifle, ordered the man to stop the vicious attack and drop the knife. The 37-year-old suspect then appears to direct his attention at one of the officers and charge, prompting the officer to fire his rifle.

Both the victim and suspect were declared dead at the scene.

At the time of the incident, police said the violence resulted from a domestic dispute, but the moments leading up to the horrific stabbing remain unclear.
