Marysville, Calif. — The Marysville Police Department has identified the officer killed in the line of duty while executing a search warrant in Yuba County as Officer Osmar Rodarte.
In a statement, the department honored Rodarte’s service and sacrifice.
“Officer Rodarte was more than a colleague; he was a friend, a father, an Army veteran, and a true hero,” the department said in a press release.
Rodarte, a two-year veteran of the Marysville Police Department and a U.S. Army veteran, was fatally shot while serving a search warrant in Olivehurst as part of a years-long investigation by the Yuba Sutter Narcotics and Gang Task Force Unit.

The shooting occurred on Kestrel Court in Olivehurst, where law enforcement officers came under fire.
Authorities confirmed that the suspected shooter was also killed in the exchange of gunfire.
Rodarte’s death marks the first line-of-duty death for the Marysville Police Department in more than a century.
Marysville Police Chief Christian Sachs expressed deep sorrow over the loss of one of their own.
“This is a sad day in the city of Marysville. We lost an officer today who was near and dear to our hearts,” Sachs said.
He added that the department is taking time to grieve and honor Rodarte’s memory.
“We are taking today to honor him and mourn the loss of a loved one, a brother, a father, and just a close friend of ours,” Sachs said.
As the city mourns, the Marysville Police Department has organized a procession in Officer Rodarte’s honor.
The procession will begin at Lakeside Chapel at 830 D Street in Marysville at 9:30 a.m., traveling to Placer County.
The public is invited to line the sidewalks along the route to pay their respects to the fallen officer.
The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
