Officer Manuel Anthony Arceo

Officer Manuel Arceo was shot and killed as he and another officer responded to a silent alarm at a pawn shop at 14348 Ramona Boulevard, just a half a block from the Baldwin Park Police Department.

‍

A man had entered the pawnshop, grabbed a machete, and threatened the proprietress. She offered him money but the man stated he "just wanted guns to kill cops." The man stepped outside, with a rifle she gave him, and opened fire on the officers as they approached.

‍

Officer Arceo was struck by a ricocheted round fired by another officer. The subject was killed by the other officers who returned fire.
