UPDATE (2:27 p.m.) - The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office has identified the man killed in a deputy-involved shooting on July 1 in the 2300 block of Fresno Street as 40-year-old Andrew Biscay of Chowchilla.
According to the sheriff's office, in-car camera footage was reviewed from the patrol unit involved in the incident, which showed that when deputies arrived at the scene, they found Biscay inside a vehicle near the location of the original 911 call. Authorities say Biscay immediately exited the vehicle and took a shooting stance while pointing a handgun at the deputies.
Despite repeated commands, sheriff's officials say Biscay continued to advance toward deputies, prompting them to fire their service weapons. Deputies then approached and began rendering medical aid. A handgun was recovered near Biscay, and a still image from the video captured moments before the shooting shows Biscay pointing the weapon, according to the sheriff's office.
The recovered firearm was identified as a Beretta PX4 Storm semi-automatic pellet gun. Sheriff's officials released a side-by-side image showing its visual similarity to a .40-caliber Beretta PX4 Storm handgun.
The investigation is ongoing and led by the Sheriff's Detective Division. No deputies were injured, and officials say there are no outstanding suspects or continued threats to public safety.
As per protocol, the deputies involved are on administrative leave during the investigation.
