On January 4, 2026, a man illegally entered a secured construction site during the morning hours. A remote security worker monitoring cameras noticed the suspect climbing over a fence and attempting to start a piece of heavy construction equipment. A security guard on site approached the man to question him and ask him to leave, but the situation quickly escalated. Police say the suspect became aggressive, threatened to kill the guard, and displayed a screwdriver as a weapon, prompting the guard and the remote security worker to call 911. Before officers could fully intervene, the suspect managed to start a large front loader and drove it through a perimeter fence, leaving the construction site and entering nearby streets.
When the first police officer arrived and attempted to stop him, the suspect ignored commands and instead drove directly at patrol vehicles and striking them. Officers fired their weapons as the suspect continued advancing, eventually ramming two police cars and becoming immobilized. Police then attempted to physically remove the suspect, leading to a struggle that sent two officers and the man falling several feet to the ground. The two officers were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect was also taken to the hospital with two gunshot wound. The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Juan Rincon Carreno, now faces multiple felony charges including attempted murder, resisting a public officer with a deadly weapon, vehicle theft, and property damage up to $5K. He was set to appear in court on Jan. 7, but according to court officials, the suspect is still recovering from his injuries in the hospital.
