Oct. 11, 2022. Released video of detectives shooting a wanted suspect at an Elk Grove apartment complex.

Police said the man who was seriously wounded in the shooting, 32-year-old Terry Sharp, ignored the detectives’ commands to drop a gun he was holding during the Oct. 11 confrontation. Sharp has since been released from a hospital after receiving medical treatment for his injuries. He was booked on Oct. 17 at the Sacramento County Jail, where he remained in custody without bail on Friday.

The Police Department released an edited video with police narration, along with video from a body-worn camera, a recording of dispatch audio, and video from a security camera at the apartment complex. Police said Sharp was wanted on a felony arrest warrant and was the suspect in a June 2022 Sacramento assault investigation related to a possible hate crime.

Detectives with the department’s Career Criminal Apprehension Team were looking for Sharp. The team’s primary responsibility is locating and apprehending people wanted in connection with serious felony crimes.

The detectives wear plainclothes on duty and drive unmarked vehicles with emergency lights and sirens. Police said the detectives had on ballistic vests with police insignia, and at least two of them had activated their vehicle’s police lights as they approached Sharp. The detectives had arrived at the Bella Vista Apartments in the 6800 block of Di Lusso Drive to look for Sharp. About 12:10 p.m., the detectives spotted Sharp in the complex and tried to arrest him.
