The barricade started the previous morning after a man shot at a neighbor's car during a dispute. The man then remained barricaded inside his condo as negotiators attempted to communicate with him. K9 Jack was shot by the man as the agency's SWAT team entered the condo in an attempt to take him into custody. The man was shot and killed with deputies returned fire.

K9 Jack had served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for four years and had previously served as a military working dog, assigned to the Naval Special Warfare Development Group.
