Armed Robber Gets Shot While Trying To Rob Deputy In Mall Parking Lot
Tom Gantert
Victor Ochoa is accused of trying to rob an off-duty sheriff's deputy at the Galleria at Tyler on Saturday night.
Riverside, CA – An armed robber picked the wrong family to point a gun at in a mall parking lot on Saturday night when he tried to rob an off-duty deputy sheriff.
The incident occurred at about 9:45 p.m. on June 1 as the deputy and his family were walking to their car in the parking lot of the Galleria at Tyler, KNBC reported.
Riverside City Police Officer Ryan Railsback said that 25-year-old Victor Ochoa allegedly confronted the deputy and his family at gunpoint and demanded their belongings.
The deputy fired his weapon at Ochoa at least once, The Mercury News reported.
"This attempted armed robbery resulted in a deputy-involved shooting," Officer Railsback said, according to KNBC.
Multiple people who heard gunfire in the mall parking lot called the police, according to The Mercury News.
The suspect fled in a vehicle after he was shot and drove himself to a hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, KNBC reported.
An officer arrived at the hospital and determined that Ochoa was the suspect in the attempted robbery at the mall.
As soon as the suspect was cleared medically, he was taken into custody by law enforcement.
Ochoa was booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center and charged with three counts of attempted armed robbery, The Mercury News reported.
Each count also carried a sentencing enhancement for use of a firearm.
Ochoa’s bail amount was not immediate available, according to The Mercury News.
Police have not said what kind of weapon Ochoa was using when he committed his crimes, nor whether it had been recovered by law enforcement.
Neither the deputy nor his family members were injured in the altercation.
Police have not released the name of the deputy or where he works, The Mercury News reported.
Officer Railsback said the deputy’s department information was being withheld because of the investigation
“He fired his weapon out of fear for his life and his family’s life,” Officer Railsback said. “They’re victims in this.”
Police have not revealed whether the deputy used his department-issued weapon or a personally-owned firearm when he shot Ochoa.
He’s lucky he’s a deputy.
Mere citizens would be in trouble for defending their family in CA.
This is not a smart Mexican.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Florida Man takes a trip to California?
Saw a video a couple years ago of a man who tried to rob a gun shop....Bad idea...Very bad idea...
You’re probably right. I’ve lived here for most of my life and it’s gotten so bad I decided to get a CC permit this year. But my attitude is that if it’s between him and me, it’ll be him and we can talk about me later.
It’s funny, when it said Riverside, I immediately thought the Galleria on Tyler, and yep, that’s where it was. Robberies there used to be quite common, and with California’s lax enforcement of laws these days, I’d imagine that it’s on an uptick right now.
Good.
The deputy should get a medal and praise.
If it was the same one I saw, the robber was dead before he hit the floor.
“No one should have to worry about getting shot just for robbing someone at gunpoint.”
Yeah, but he did a pretty good dead robber bounce.
Beats DYING! :)
These are all great stories but don’t you have to be mighty quick off the draw to get a shot at someone who is pointing a gun at you?
But then I guess they think you are going for your wallet.
What a surprise that is :)
Oooh, that’s almost as bad as trying to rob a cop bar.
Hehehe.

Sad that the perp will be released if he’s here illegally, per California law, in order to avoid being deported. That’s why it’s now necessary to ‘finish the job’ whenever possible.
Police have not said what kind of weapon Ochoa was using when he committed his crimes, nor whether it had been recovered by law enforcement.
Hmmm...
Gun shop in Georgia
“Police have not revealed whether the deputy used his department-issued weapon or a personally-owned firearm when he shot Ochoa.”
And just why is that so damned important! Does his department want to charge him for using one of their bullets?
At least Riverside County is one CA county where the “serfs” can carry a gun legally!
It’s too bad the criminal survived.
Now the taxpayers of California are stuck paying to house and feed this dirtbag when he’s locked up in prison.
