During the OIS two Madera PD officers fired their weapons at the suspect who succumbed to his injuries. Preliminary identification information from a family member identified the suspect as Samuel Santiago Daniel, approximately 26 years old. It is anticipated that formal identification information will be obtained through fingerprints and DNA, which is still pending. The department has released the attached photo of the replica firearm used by Mr. Daniel during the incident. A search of Mr. Daniel’s bedroom revealed drug paraphernalia.
