Phillip
Owen and Ryan Owen said they were hiding inside a shed when Victor Ortega was
shot and killed by Officer Jonathan McCarthy in their Mira Mesa neighborhood.
According
to reports, Officer McCarthy chased Victor Ortega from his home following a
domestic violence bail bond call, San Diego police said after the June 2012 shooting.
The
San Diego
Police
investigators said the officer kicked the secondary gun away and Ortega tried
to grab the primary gun. That’s when police said McCarthy feared for his life
and shot Ortega.
The San Diego
San Diego Police Detectives told medical investigators for the
report, that medics removed a handcuff to render CPR. They then took him to the San Diego jail arrest.
The
Owen brothers told 10 News that they believed Ortega was handcuffed with both
hands when shot.
Phillip
and Ryan Owen said what they heard started with a “wrestling noise.”
Both brothers said they were close enough to hear details what happened in the
moments leading up to the shooting.
There is no reason why the Owen brothers are speaking up now 8 months after the shooting.

It’s kind of suspicious that the brothers waited 8-months before reporting the incident. If anything they would make a big deal about it when the incident occurred. The national press would have a tizzy over this type of story.
