Man suspected of shooting Escondido police officer found dead in vacant apartment

February 23, 2021 By sdcnews

Anastasio Rosas Jr.

ESCONDIDO–A man accused of shooting an Escondido police officer early Monday morning was found dead in a vacant apartment, the Escondido Police Department reported.

At approximately 7:45 a.m., police officers and allied agencies received information that the suspect, later identified as 27-year-old Anastasio Rosas Jr., was seen in a vacant apartment in the 700 block of West Lincoln.

While authorities responded to the area, they heard a sound of a gunshot from within the apartment. Tactical teams surrounded the apartment, and subsequent search of the apartment found Rosas who appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators believe that Rosas was the only suspect being sought, and there is no further danger to the public.

On Monday at approximately 2:47 a.m., the Escondido police department was called to the 1300 block of Morning View Drive in response to a report of a domestic violence disturbance. Officers learned that the man involved in the disturbance left his residence with a high-powered rifle.

At approximately 3:03 a.m. an Escondido Police Department personnel contacted the driver in the area of the Reidy Creek south of Lincoln Ave. At that time, a shooting occurred, and an Escondido Police Department officer was shot. The officer is in stable condition at an area hospital.
