SHERIFF’S DEPUTY KILLED

At 3:27 a.m. this morning (Friday, 10/27/06), a Sacramento Sheriff’s Deputy assigned to the South Bureau conducted a vehicle stop at Meiss and Dillard Roads on a white Chevrolet van with one occupant.

Approximately seven minutes later, the Sheriff’s Communications Center conducted a welfare check on the officer, without a response units responded to his location.

The initial responding unit arrived at the location approximately 20 minutes later and found the Deputy with a gunshot wound to his head. At that point, officers requested emergency medical aid for the Deputy and initiated a large perimeter to begin conducting a search of the area. The Deputy was transported to the UC Davis Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased at 4:45 a.m. as a result of his injuries.

Currently, an ongoing extensive search of the surrounding area and the southern part of Sacramento County is being conducted by multiple agencies including the California Highway Patrol, Sacramento Police, Elk Grove Police, Folsom Police, Rancho Cordova Police, Amador County Sheriff’s Office and numerous other law enforcement agencies.

Anyone with information regarding the van, which may have suffered damage while fleeing the scene or the homicide of this Sheriff’s Deputy, please contact the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department at (800)471-1700 or (916)874-6500 or via the Sacramento County Sheriff’s website at www.sacsheriff.com .

Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell, 38, is a 9-year veteran of the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department and has been assigned to Patrol Services since 2002. He is survived by his wife and young children.

Sergeant RL Davis
Sheriff’s Spokesman

Fucking shit bro.......

That hit close too....As Thursday at about 4am my friends conducted a car stop and observes the key hole is punched out. They try pulling the guy out and he takes off swerving the car at them bumping them.

We give chase out into the cuts by this time I'm flying 130mph+ to get to them but I'm a few miles away...make a long story short the guy blacked out in a very twisty road where he lost it and flipped the car.

Cacaroach theory pervailed on this one bro the guy got out of his car and foot bailed to no where land. Simply took to long for all the dust to settle before we could even get a visual on where the car had ended up.

This could have very easily went south from there for any of us.

I hope the piece of shit gets caught.

RIP My fellow Deputy. [Frown]

Steve,

I didn't post anything on SacStangs about my feelings on the matter but I knew Jeff on a personal level since I lived out in Wilton for 28 years. I met him a few years ago when I was going through 00 SBRA 1 and he was just one of the type's of people that you would/will never forget. Jeff was an awesome human being and certainly did not deserve to die in the fashion that he did.

I hope when Jeff's killer is found that he/she resist's arrest and you guys can save the taxpayers the cost of a trial by jury.

RIP Jeffery V. Mitchell

I did not know Jeff as their are over 1700 of us on the department but the feelings of losing somebody is the same. We've lost so many great public protectors this month, with the 4 firefighters in so-cal and almost 100 military in Iraq.

There has been so much going on the radio, rumours flying around, chasing every lead. This can not end soon enough.

So the white van they found in the river with two dead people in it isn't related to the officer getting shot? Sounds like too much of a coincidence to me.
What if that dude killed his gf/wife and was on his way to kill himself and the officer pulled him over saw the dead gf/wife and thats when the dude shot the officer and drove off and finished commiting suicide with is dead gfs/wifes body after driving his white chevy van into the river.
