LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Las Vegas police released the 911 calls where a man attacked a woman and was fatally shot by an off-duty officer.
Officer Cesar Ibarra, 48, and his wife shot at a man they saw abusing a woman next door. It happened near Boulder City High School on Friday, Jan. 24.
Boulder City Police received a 911 call with an open line where fighting could be heard in the background.
A woman’s voice then explained her husbandm, Ibarra, was in the front yard of their home armed with a gun.
The suspect, 45-year-old Jeremiah Boshard, could be seen hitting a woman multiple times in a video obtained by Metro.
The victim suffered cuts and bruises to her lips, swelling to her head, and strangulation marks around her neck.
Police say the suspect followed Ibarra where his wife and the victim were. Boshard would slam Ibarra’s head into a car, which prompted his wife to grab a firearm.
Boshard began choking Ibarra, the officer got free and drew his firearm.
The couple is heard in cellphone video captured by someone walking by instructing Boshard to stand back. Boshard advanced toward the group and the couple fired their guns.
LVMPD say two rounds were fired. It was caught on cellphone video.
“All the cameras that I have,” a caller said. “I think that the news said that he was in the front yard, right? I’m not actually sure. If they were in front, there was no way I could see it.”
According to police, if Boshard survived he would have faced charges related to murder and battery on a protected person.
Officials say while officer Ibarra was off-duty, he identified himself as law enforcement and acted as so. This prompted Metro to investigate the incident as a police shooting.
This marks the first officer-involved shooting of 2025.
