Upland, CA - A 50-year-old Fontana man who had a handgun was shot to death by deputies during an incident in Upland on Feb. 24, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

At about 4:56 p.m., deputies from the Fontana Sheriff’s Station responded to a 9-1-1 call in which Cesar Martha advised he was being followed and he was armed with a handgun, the Sheriff's Department said.

Responding deputies located Martha’s vehicle parked in the 2600 block of North Mountain Avenue. While in the area, deputies heard gunshots and requested Sheriff’s Aviation to assist in locating Martha. The aviation crew spotted Martha in the hills of San Antonio Heights allegedly indiscriminately discharging the handgun.

The Specialized Enforcement Division (SED) was requested to assist and responded to the scene. Crisis negotiators attempted several times to have Martha peacefully surrender, but he refused, the Sheriff's Department said.

Martha suddenly exited the area where he had been hiding and allegedly ran toward deputies, armed with the handgun. A lethal force encounter occurred, and Martha was struck by gunfire. Despite lifesaving measures by deputies, Martha succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
