ONYX, California —
Footage from a gunshot involving Kern County deputies last month has been made public by the sheriff’s office.
On August 5th, deputies issued Austin Stringer, 25, a move-out and temporary domestic violence restraining order in the 8000 block of Melody Lane in Onyx.
During a stop for a stolen vehicle, police and deputies opened fire on a man.
Deputies were dispatched to the same spot two days later in response to a complaint that Stringer had violated the terms of his restraining order.
In addition to violating a domestic violence restraining order, Springer allegedly had many warrants, according to deputies.
